What is Contingency Recruiting?

Contingency recruiting is our base service, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: there’s no cost to you unless we successfully place a candidate. We do the sourcing, screening, and vetting up front, at our own risk — you review only pre-qualified candidates, interview for free, and pay a placement fee only when you hire someone we present.

How It Works

We follow the same disciplined process behind every search — learning your role in depth, sourcing from our 10,000+ candidate database and beyond, screening for real hands-on competency, and presenting only genuine matches. (See our full Candidate Search Process for the complete breakdown.)

A Fee Structure That Scales With the Role

Rather than a flat rate across every hire, our contingency fee is skill-based — scaling with the level of the position, from support and operator-level roles up through executive placements. Every fee is based on the candidate’s first-year salary, and we offer flexible payment terms — see our Employer Payment Options page for details.

Included in the fee is a 90-day Insurance Policy

Every contingency placement comes with a 90-day guarantee. If a candidate leaves or is terminated for cause within their first 90 days, we’ll replace them at no additional cost for the first replacement, and at a reduced rate (of 50%) for a second — no games, no fine print surprises.

Best For

Contingency recruitment is the right fit for companies filling one to a few roles at a time, without the urgency or scale that calls for a dedicated recruiter (that’s Contract Recruiters) or the exclusivity of a Retained Search.
