Common Questions
Everything you need to know about the fees.
- What does the retainer cover?
- The retainer covers embedded access — ongoing pipeline management, proactive sourcing, market intelligence, and weekly reporting. Placement fees are charged separately on successful hire.
- Can I cancel mid-engagement?
- Yes. RaaS includes a 6-month exit clause with written notice. Traditional Search has no ongoing commitment beyond the active mandate.
- Can I use you for a single hire without a retainer?
- Yes — Traditional Search is available for one-off, critical placements at a 20% success fee. No retainer required.
- How are placement fees calculated?
- Fees are a percentage of the placed candidate's first-year base salary. RaaS fees are capped; the specific cap is agreed during the calibration call.
