The Search Process

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETAINER SEARCH AND CONTINGENCY SEARCH

Contingency Search does not involve an exclusive or a commitment. The company often engages several search firms and potential candidates may be contacted by more than one. The effort expended by the search firm is limited. The company pays a fee only to the firm that makes the placement.

Retainer Search involves a contract and exclusivity. The company pays a fee in installments, so the firm is paid for its time and ongoing involvement, thereby insuring extensive effort and commitment on the firm's part.
