FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS.

Common leadership and recruitment queries.

How does the fee structure differ from contingency or retained?
Engaged search involves a small upfront commitment (engagement fee) to initiate the search and reserve dedicated resources. The majority of the fee is success-based, similar to contingency, but with the priority level of a retained search.
Why is Engaged Search recommended over Retained Search?
While Retained Search is ideal for sensitive Board/C-Suite roles, Engaged Search offers the same level of focus and vetting for VP and Director level roles at a more agile pace and flexible commitment level.
What kind of reporting can I expect?
You will receive bi-weekly intelligence reports covering market feedback, candidate pipeline stats, and competitive landscape insights, ensuring full transparency throughout the process.
Does this include the performance guarantee?
Yes, every Engaged Search comes with our signature performance guarantee. If the candidate leaves within the first 6-12 months (depending on tier), we will replace them at no additional cost.
