What is Engaged Search?
Engaged Search is a cost-effective, efficient recruiting model with the initial payment of the total search fee paid up front to start the candidate search process and engage our services, with the remaining search fee balance due when the hired candidate starts. The initial payment creates a mutual partnership and commitment to fill your open position that gives both of us an incentive to succeed. This is the performance driver that ensures the dedication, focus and accountability to produce results.
Engaged Search is an affordable and compelling alternative to excessive contingency and retainer placement fees. In comparison, through an Engaged Search, we attract, recruit and shortlist all-star culturally aligned talent at a fraction of the cost and save you thousands, compared to traditional search fees.
Why Engaged Search?
When you need to hire critical talent, instead of settling for a contingent search firm there are a few crucial factors to consider when selecting a recruitment search firm:
How dedicated are they to find the right candidate, that also fits your unique culture?
What is their accountability to produce results?
What level of service do they provide?
How much does their services cost and what value do they provide?
After you’ve given this some careful consideration, Engaged Search is your best choice to fill your open position because it's a cost effective, performance driven recruitment search model that produces higher quality candidates over quantity, with a higher level of service. There’s also the advantage of building a relationship with a committed partner that gives priority to fill your open position.
These are all critical factors in a successful candidate search that also increases the recruitment search firm’s accountability and dedication to qualify and present top candidates to solve your hiring initiatives.
Engaged Search Vs. Contingent:
In contrast, a contingency search firm typically is not fully dedicated to your candidate search and they're not accountable to produce results because there’s no initial payment to start the search, so there isn't a mutual partnership and commitment to fill your open position. As a result, most contingent recruiters will shop resumes that haven’t been thoroughly screened to their clients and they'll usually submit the same candidate to as many companies as possible hoping something sticks. This is a conflict of interest for your hiring objectives and delays your goal to hire the best candidate as soon as possible.
