Contingency Search Services
Contigency search is often called “direct hire placement” or “no win, no fee recruitment”. A contingency search arrangement can be highly effective for many organizations, especially those that need to hire skilled talent as quickly as possible. FirstFour can work alongside your leadership and internal human resources staff to source passive or hidden talent. These employed professionals are not typically responsive to job board advertising or social talent networks. FirstFour leverages extensive referral networks, cutting-edge sourcing technology, and cold call expertise to garner top talent for your organization that may otherwise remain hidden.
Our contingency search solution is a negotiated fee based upon a placed candidate’s starting base salary. FirstFour offers guaranty on all placed candidates dependent on the level of the role and the negotiated payment terms.
Our contingency search solution allows you more flexibility to utilize other mediums or your own internal efforts to retain the best talent for your organization.
Retained Search Solution
Our Retained Search Solution is typically utilized for high-level executive searches. However, this solution makes sense for the following: exceptionally hard to fill roles, locations where the talent pool is scarce, or situations where the desired candidates need to possess unique skill sets and deep industry experience. When this is the case, partnering with a retained search firm specializing in your industry or a discipline is a great way to augment an internal recruiting staff that occasionally gets overloaded or lacks the skills or connections to fill certain roles.
This solution is also ideal when companies must fill critical positions but keep the search confidential. FirstFour works on an exclusive basis, so you can count on us to operate with the utmost discretion. FirstFour performs a thorough intake at the onset of each Retained Search so that we understand not only the particular skill set and interview vetting process required, but also your corporate culture and organizational growth plans.
Our Retained Search Solution requires a financial commitment to solidify your intent and ensure a robust search process on our end – typically one third of the negotiated fee. An additional third is due when the slate of finalists are presented, and the final third is due when the selected candidate onboards. FirstFour offers a liberal guaranty of all successful retained search placements.
