Contingency Search

Fees for contingency searches are based on 25% of the candidates first years Anticipated Annual Salary, however  this can vary depending on the  geographical location being sourced, the industry  and the specific talent that is being recruited, as well as the number of positions being filled.

Candidates in a contingency search are usually identified through an existing database or from public job boards.  The search process is usually less structured than with a retained search, and less about an exact “fit” and more about getting potentially qualified candidates in front of the client so that the client can make his or her own final assessment.

Should a candidate, placed by SMR, on a contingency search, be terminated for cause within 90 days of placement, SMR guarantees to provide a replacement search.
