For those tougher searches, you may want to consider a Container search - part contingent, part retainer. Here's how it works: you pay an upfront deposit to get the search started, and the balance is collected when/if a candidate is hired.

​

This services works well specifically in two types of circumstances:

1) Your search is urgent and you needed someone yesterday - the container fee is an additional incentive to ensure your search is top priority

​

2) Your search has gone on a while and other agencies have given up. This service GUARANTEES you're getting the attention that you need when others have stopped putting time into it.
