Flat-Fee Search
This model sets a fixed fee for a search, regardless of the hired candidate’s compensation. It provides clients with cost certainty and simplifies budgeting.
Best-Fit Scenarios
- Ideal for challenging searches for senior leaders, such as a CEO or Country Manager, especially when compensation is substantial or variable.
Fee Structure
Fixed Success Fee (Paid Upon Candidate Start)
The full fee is invoiced in one payment on the candidate's start date.
For guidance on the best model for your needs, please contact us.
Named Candidate Search
When you have identified a specific candidate, often at a competitor, we provide a confidential and professional process to secure them. We mitigate the legal risks of a direct approach and discreetly handle sensitive negotiations, such as compensation and employment terms.
Best-Fit Scenarios
- To hire a known candidate from a competitor while avoiding legal or relational risks.
Fee Structure
Success Fee: Paid on Candidate's Start Date
The fee is a single payment, calculated as a percentage of first-year guaranteed compensation or as a pre-agreed fixed amount.
