Retained Recruitment


In the world of recruitment, there are two types of hiring:

  • Contingent Recruitment
  • Retained Recruitment

In Continent model, recruiter is only paid once the role has been filled. Positions that are recruited on a contingent basis are typically for entry-level to mid-management roles and are often found on job boards, networks and social media posts.

In the retained model,recruiters are engaged on an exclusive basis to source a key hire. Here are recruiters are paid a partial fee from the client before the process begins, with the remainder paid upon the successful placement of a candidate into that role.

For more senior, strategic or highly skilled hires where the candidate pool is much smaller, companies adapt retained recruitment.

Retained


More Than Just The Upfront Fee?

Whilst on the face of it, retained recruitment services seem more expensive as there is an upfront fee to pay, regardless of the outcome – there is often much more to this methodology than just the payment structure and T&Cs.

This model is often more rigorous in nature and may include additional features such as:
...

Bespoke market mapping
...

Salary benchmarking intel
...

Psychometric testing
...

Video interviews and candidate profiling

...

Dedicated Account Manager or team of specialist consultants
...

Regular face-to-face updates and reporting/analysis
...

Strategic headhunting
...

Integrated marketing campaigns including advertising

This is more often than not, a fully-tailored recruitment solution where the agency and consultants will work closely with the hiring team – covering all areas of the active and passive market in a wider, more detailed search.
