• Retained search is our most popular search package. Ideal for more challenging, important, time sensitive, or confidential hires.
• Following a retained principle, there is always an engagement fee to initiate the search.
• Committing to us financially allows us to apply a more robust search process with extended guarantee periods.
Retained search, also known as headhunting or executive search, is as a no-stone-unturned, proactive and exhaustive outreach. It is suitable for sensitive or senior hires where fewer candidates with the necessary skills and experience are available.
Engaging with a search firm is an incredible sign of trust. We own that trust and become your eyes and ears in the market. We diligently engage with potential prospects sensitively to our clients brand reputation and legacy.
We apply an engagement fee usually a third of the expected fee upfront. The remaining recruitment fee is usually paid when the candidate starts. Financial commitment at the start reduces risk and means both parties are committed to working in true partnership until the position is filled with the best candidate.

What People Say
Extended candidate guarantee periods - we commit to work with you until the role is filled
Stakeholders meet and agree on the parameters of the search, process and timelines; role profile, behavioural and competencies, geography, target companies (and any off limits) and your Employer Value Proposition. Once the brief is completed, we agree on dates for a 30-minute review of the progress on the assignment and lock them in the calendar over the next 6-8 weeks (ideally Thursday or Friday) . This ensures clarity or updates, time for questions and clarifications, discussion on benchmark profiles etc.
Once we're clear on the scope of the search, we cast a net over the talent pool across the geographical location and target companies who look to have the correct skill set to meet those criteria. We systematically and professionally approach every candidate using multiple methods, including headhunting collecting what data you look for, benefits, bonuses, and perceptions of you in the market. The whole process is transparent, and we will update you to re-steer the process accordingly.
A long list emerges of candidates who are 'QIA'; Qualified against the criteria, Interested in the opportunity, and Assessed against the brief functionally and behaviorally. From the long list, we jointly agree on a shortlist for you to interview. In the final stages of a search, building relationships with candidates and providing timely feedback is crucial. Clear package information will be provided before the interview. We stay close to the chosen candidate during their notice period and after starting to ensure successful onboarding.
