Contingency Search

Connecting hard-to-find qualified individuals with companies across a wide range of industries. When it comes to your success, count on us to elevate it.

What Are Contingency Search Services?

A contingency search is appropriate for organizations looking to fill individual contributor or mid-level management positions – typically below the director or VP level. No fees are due until you hire a candidate. If you prefer a risk-free search relationship and your search does not involve confidentiality, sensitivity, or a high degree of complexity, a contingency search may be your preference.
