Retained Vs. Engaged Executive Search
When it comes to executive recruitment, choosing the right search model for your organization's needs is crucial. At Palmer Group, we offer both retained and engaged executive search. Choosing between engaged and retained search will most likely depend on your company’s specific needs and budget.
Retained Executive Search
Retained search is a more exclusive and comprehensive recruitment model, often used for high-level executive positions. Our executive search team will lead all aspects of the recruitment process such as sourcing, interviewing and consulting with your hiring team to choose a final candidate. If your company needs to fill a critical executive position and wants a dedicated, comprehensive search process, retained search is likely your best option.
- Upfront and Staged Payments: Fees are paid in stages, typically one-third upfront, one-third during the search and one-third once we have placed a candidate.
- Guarantee: Palmer Group offers a guarantee period, during which we will replace a candidate if they leave the company.
Engaged Executive Search
Engaged search is a hybrid model that combines elements of both retained and contingency searches. Engaged searches allow clients to source their own candidates and be more involved in the interview process. If you’re looking for a flexible, cost-effective solution for mid-level to senior roles, an engaged search might be the way to go.
- Upfront Fee: Clients pay an initial fee to engage the recruiter. The remaining fee is paid upon a successful placement.
- Flexibility: Engaged search offers more flexibility during the sourcing and hiring process than retained search, making it suitable for mid-level to senior roles.
