For challenging and complex requirements to your roles such as difficult location, time-sensitive, niche skill, hard to fill, senior position, or multiple hires, a more rigorous methodology process along with more data and technology is required.  For these situations we recommend you choose our Retained Recruitment Service, which use the following payment milestones: Upfront retainer fee: 20% of fee. Successful candidate’s first day of work: 40% of fee. On the 6-month anniversary: 40% of fee (remainder). For straightforward, everyday hires, we recommend our Contingency Recruitment Service – no win no fee and there is no commitment on either side. For our Contingency Recruitment Service, a fee is only charged once the successful candidate starts working for you.
