Hybrid Retained Search

There are advantages and disadvantages to both contingent and retained search strategies.  Hybrid Retained Search brings together some of the best elements of both of these traditional options.  It has proven to be an excellent option for some clients.  The core advantage is it gets our clients interacting with a dedicated recruiting firm partner.  This is an exclusive relationship. These searches are typically going to be for higher-end roles, Director, Vice President, and higher.  Another advantage is the flexible pricing model allowing for fees.  This would typically be a two-part process.  An initial retainer followed by a completion fee based on the role or the first year salary.  At the Herring Group, we have the flexibility to adjust to our client’s needs and Hybrid Retained Search is an excellent example of working hard to solve problems for our clients.
