There are two primary approaches when engaging with executive search firms: retained and contingency executive search. Both methods have pros & cons, and understanding their differences is essential for making an informed decision. In this blog post, we will explore the retained and contingency executive search approaches in detail, highlighting their benefits and providing examples to help you choose the right one for your organization’s needs.
Retained Executive Search
Retained executive search is a comprehensive and personalized approach to finding executive-level candidates.

The search firm is retained for a fixed fee and works closely with the organization throughout recruitment.
One of the critical benefits of full-service outsourcing is access to advanced technology and expertise. Payroll service providers invest in robust payroll systems and stay updated with changing tax regulations, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Moreover, with employee self-service portals, your staff can access their payroll information, update personal details, and access pay stubs and tax forms, reducing administrative burden.
