Retained Search

This is our favoured method of approach. It is dedicated to providing candidates, based on the strict search criteria that our client sets. We take into account not only core skills required, but also corporate culture, location, qualification, personality, types of organisation and industrial skills / experience.

The major source of candidates for this type of service is Direct Search (head­hunting).

The benefits:

• Individuals are specifically targeted in accordance to our clients' criteria.

• Candidates on short-list are pre-selected, briefed on the role, thus avoiding "shoppers" and non-motivated candidates.
  

• Ability to approach candidates who perhaps have not considered moving.
  Creation of a professional perception of our clients on the market.

Confidentiality of the search.

Our Terms of Business for search assignments always include prepayment (Retainer), payable prior to our starting the search activities, and Placement Fee, payable to us on the first day of the successful candidate's starting his/her employment with our client. Depending on each particular assignment the Placement Fee may also be split into two parts: candidate Shortlist Fee (payable after the result of the search has been provided to the client) and the Placement Fee itself.

Depending on each particular assignment, the techniques of Direct Search may be combined with Advertised Selection, which will be agreed upon between us and the client, prior to executing the search.

The Retained Search usually takes between three and five weeks until the presentation of the shortlist, but will in any case continue until the suitable candidate is found and placed with our client.
