Recruiting Fees


Our fees for service are set according to the scope and difficulty of recruiting projects.  Most often fees are structured as follows:

Engagement Fee Basis
The engagement fee approach is recommended for projects where a high degree of confidentiality and information containment is required and we are selected as the sole source for the search. The fee is based on 25% of first year's expected cash compensation and 1/3rd of that total is required to begin the search process with the remaining 2/3rds due on candidate start date. Engagement fee searches are given top priority status.

Contingency Basis
When we are not the sole source and you are using a variety of candidate sourcing channels we recommend working on a contingency basis where the fee is calculated at 30% of the successful candidate's realistic expected cash compensation for the first year. The fee is payable on candidate start date.
