Retained Search vs Contingency Search

Retained Search & Contingency Search

Retained Search vs. Contingency Search Explained:

Retained and contingency recruitment represent two distinct models within the recruitment industry, each offering unique characteristics and advantages.

Executive search is connecting leading organisations with top-tier talent for strategic senior directors, C-suite executives and other critical leadership positions.

In a retained search, the client engages the recruiting firm exclusively for a specific executive-level position. The recruitment firm is usually paid upfront and in instalments.

What People Say About Me!

Slide 1 of 6

I met Sade when I was looking for a career change in 2023 - I was blown away by how, in a very short time, she understood me, my ambition, and what I could bring to a potential employer. I also appreciated her honest feedback, and her creativity and selflessness in thinking along with me on what my best options might be - Sade was totally prepared to sacrifice her own stake in the discussion to ensure that I came to the best outcome for me - the result of course is total trust and an absolute certainty that I would work with Sade again and recommend her to others without question. Many thanks Sade!

Victoria - Managing Director Technology | Chief Technology Officer (CTO) | Putting great tech to work to build great futures #TechnologyInContext

When working with Sade to recruit within our business she turned what could be a time intensive and laborious task into a carefully choreographed process to find the right candidates for us. It was clear from when I first met Sade, that we were in safe hands. Her professionalism, knowledge and experience mixed with her friendliness and optimism enabled a great partnership to find the right candidates. Throughout the whole process Sade ensured that we had everything in place to find top talent, from understanding what we wanted from a candidate and in our team through to her conscientiousness management style. Above and beyond this, I was surprised by her perseverance and initiative to reach out to networks and actively find the right people for our team, in a finite and challenging marketplace. I'd happily recommend Sade, as she's one of the best recruiters I've worked with.

Iain - Senior Experience Designer

I've worked with Sade for a couple of years and in the time, I've got to know her through her hands on management of the recruitment process for a number of corporate functions from Legal to Corporate Communications. Sade has always been extremely positive, friendly and enthusiastic about her work but beyond that, her work has always been underpinned by solid delivery ensuring that she gives her all to uncovering top class talent and managing the recruitment process from start to finish as seamlessly and diligently as possible. It's been a pleasure working with Sade and I have no hesitation in offering my endorsement.

Neerav - Associates Director, Partnerships & Strategic Expansion

Sade contacted me about an opportunity I hadn’t considered while on my journey to find a new role and her thinking outside the box has helped me gain a sizeable increase in my earning potential with a firm that connects with my experience, seniority and passion for the market in which I operate. Sade took the time to properly review my CV, pitched the proposed “outlier” agency that is now my employer and was polite, thoughtful and always responsive in her communication. Thank you Sade!

Peter - Senior Cybersecurity Specialist

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sade on multiple occasions during my time at iBAN-X, and I can confidently say that entrusting her with your search and recruitment tasks ensures you are in safe hands. Sade's commitment to her work is evident in her genuine care for the process. She consistently took the time to thoroughly understand our business, delve into the company culture, and grasp the intricacies of the somewhat critical roles we looked to fill. Sade tackled some challenging niche senior searches (COO/Authorised Manager, Risk & Compliance C-level and Management roles), and her consultative and professional approach was pivotal in enabling her to identify the ideal candidates. Sade consistently went above and beyond, demonstrating her dedication to delivering a seamless fit for each position. She proved to be a knowledgeable and reliable partner, particularly valuable during complex hires, while also excelling in more general recruitment efforts. I would highly recommend Sade if you want a recruiter that provides a dedicated and diligent effort to secure the best candidates for your team and business. For me Sade was an invaluable asset in both intricate search and general hiring mandates.

Giordano - Authorised Manager

Where do I start.... Firstly Sade is a fantastic listener, a passionate Recruitment specialist, knowledgeable, informative and a leader in her field. If Sade calls then please listen as some Recruitment consultants just want a fee, she has your back and will guide you without prejudice....I can keep going with recommendations on Sade but I will finish and say Sade is a "great human being " well done Sade 👏 ✔
