When should I opt for a retained search?

The page you requested does not exist. A search for wp OR content OR themes OR wpremix2 OR style resulted in this page.

You should opt for a retained search any time the position that you're hiring for requires a scarce skill set or is highly strategic in nature. Some examples include:

  • Executives
  • IT Managers
  • Sr. Developers
  • Software Architects

The reason that a retained search makes sense for these types of individuals is because they will most likely need to be poached out of another organization. Doing so involves a considerable amount of talent market research and referral networking. This is not feasible with a standard contingency arrangement.
