Retainer Services
Retained search is a proactive approach in which we actively seek out passive talents using various approaches and channels such as cold calling, in-depth engagement with the industry best talents, and effectively pitching right meaningful info to entice these talents.
Retainer services are recommended for mid senior positions, or assignments that require dedicated engagements with individual talent. It is also used for niche and complex roles. And for highly confidential searches, it is a more effective approach.
For retained/semi-retained assignments, a search consultant will devote their time and resources in understanding their client’s industry and needs.
