Contingent and Retained Search
|
Capital Search engages in both search models, but typically works more in the retained search space as trusted advisors to its clients. Every organization has a unique mission, culture, and hiring needs, so it’s important to find a retained search firm that is strategically positioned in your industry to access the right people. Executive-level employees are key decision-makers who directly influence the culture and bottom line of the organization.

Retained search relationships are typically more shoulder-to-shoulder advisory work, where time and resources are invested to deeply understand a client’s business. Also discussed are the inner workings of companies, what their strategic objectives are, the thought processes of upper management, how the companies are structured, where the person or people will fit inside the organization, and what the prevailing culture is. Because of this more rigorous work, retained firms generally temper the number of clients they can correctly service at any given time. Whereas retained relationships tend to evolve into long-term partnerships, contingency client relationships tend to be shorter-term and task-focused.

Contingent searches are not exclusive in their nature, so it is not unusual to have multiple firms working on the same search. Companies often contract multiple recruitment firms in order to maximize the number of resumes received. Additionally, companies often conduct their own search or recruit from within during this effort.
If you are looking to hire a lower-level employee, there are benefits to choosing a contingent recruitment firm, such as cost savings in the short term. If you want to hire a manager, an executive-level leader, or a board member, a retained recruitment firm is your best option. |

Retained search firms have access to a large database of highly qualified candidates and a network of industry leaders that is most likely unavailable to a contingent firm. This access greatly increases your chances of finding the best possible leader for your company. They're also more invested in the client relationship and the success of the search, so they are committed to finding the candidate who is the perfect fit for your organizational culture and for the specific position. At Capital Search, this means candidates undergo an extensive vetting process involving screening, video interviews, front-runner interviews with the client, a final interview, and an onboarding service with leadership coaching.

Contract to Hire Placements
|
Contract to hire jobs offer candidates short-term employment with the opportunity to become full-time employees at the end of the contractual period. In many cases, contract to hire positions are mutually beneficial to both candidates and employers.
