Best suits a client requiring talent at a senior level (national manager, general manager on up to and above “C” level) and/or with rare and specific skills and experience. Retained Search is most cost effective where these skills and experience are a higher priority than the time taken to find the right Talent. A significantly customised search assignment is typical of the Retained Search Product.

Confidentiality is often a crucial consideration.

While the vast majority of Retained Search results in successfully attracting the exact talent fit, the employer who uses Retained Searchunderstands they are briefing jobwire to perform a quite specific process and that may not result in talent placed.

Regular and extensive communication and co-operation between jobwire and its client is essential to achieving planned results. A typical Retained Search will be completed in 4-8 weeks with placement taking longer sometimes.
