If your vacancy is paying more than US $150,000 per annum or the role is more urgent, it is time to consider retained search & selection, perhaps coupled with advertising. The more senior the role becomes the more appropriate selection is because it becomes increasingly harder to source specific skill sets. Contingent methods can soak up time and energy in sifting through CV's to find quality candidates. Advertising minimises this because applicants should possess the skills you seek.
Given the market climate and budgetary challenges that most companies are currently experiencing we aim to find cost effective solutions to sourcing talent for your company, so that your recruitment costs are minimised with no detrimental impact on the service that you receive or the caliber of candidates applying for your vacancies.
Clients select and brief only one agency that will take ownership for putting together and publishing the advert in an agreed and appropriate medium. Clients pay for the advert up front, although occasionally agencies will agree to pay a percentage of the cost, but only if a successful placement is made and retrospectively. The agency manages the response and selection process that leads to them supplying you with a shortlist of suitable candidates for you to interview. Clients then undertake their own interview; assessment and offer process if appropriate candidates have been provided.
Fees are usually calculated as an agreed percentage of first years gross remuneration and are generally paid in 3 installments:
1) 33% as a retainer up front on acceptance of the assignment
2) 33% on provision of a short list and of candidates to you
3) 33%, or the balance once a successful placement has been made.
