Performia Hong Kong Retained Executive Search Services for employers PDF Print E-mail

"Contingency firms are transaction-oriented and they get paid only if you hire a job candidate they present to you. Typically, contingency firms maintain relationships with dozens of companies. When they find a topnotch candidate, they present the hot prospect to as many firms as possible."

"Retained search firms, on the other hand, are consulting-oriented — they get the same fees no matter how long it takes to find the right job candidate. Retained search firms fill your company's vacancies by getting to know your company's needs and finding a candidate with the exact skills you're looking for. In essence, they're working for you. The probability of filling the position is much higher with dedicated commitment."
