Searches can be conducted on a retained or contingency basis. In each case, the following is provided to our client company: Qualifications screening on all candidates Extensive background review including employment and criminal checks on candidates presented to client, and candidate assessments as agreed upon Written background summary about referred candidates Coordination of interviews, offers and coaching in handling counteroffers In retained searches, the client receives full attention of the recruiter until the search is complete. Retained searches are appropriate for hard-to-find employees, or for positions where quick results are critically important. With the retained arrangement, the client directs all internal and external candidates to DEDICATED, who then presents the most qualified two to three candidates. The fee for a retained search is based on a percentage of the employee's first year's expected compensation. In contingency searches, the process is generally the same but the amount of time to fill the position may be longer. The fee for a contingency search is based on a percentage of the employee's first year's expected compensation, and is payable in full prior to the new hire's first day of employment.
