Permanent Recruitment

We have several models depending in the level of service needed to fill the vacancy

Contingency Recruitment

The Contingency Recruitment Model is a type of recruiting arrangement where recruitment agencies are compensated based on results.
In this model, the recruiter is only paid when a successful candidate is placed with the hiring company.
It’s called “contingency” because the payment is contingent upon a successful hire being made.

Key characteristics of the Contingency Recruitment Model:

Risk and Reward: MACRO assumes the risk of investing time and resources in sourcing candidates without guaranteed payment unless a hire is made.
Competition: Since multiple recruitment agencies might be working on the same position, there can be a competitive environment to present the best candidates first.
Client-Centric: The focus is on meeting the client’s hiring needs. MACRO strives to present candidates who are a good fit for the client’s requirements.
Variability in Fees: The recruitment fee can vary based on factors like the seniority of the position, industry, and geographic location.
Quick Turnaround: Since recruiters are paid only upon successful placements, there’s an incentive to work efficiently to identify and present qualified candidates.
Partnership: Although it’s a transactional model, MACRO aims to build lasting relationships with clients by consistently delivering value.

Retained Search

Which model is best for you?

The choice between Contingency, Retained, or Exclusive recruitment services depends on your specific needs, the level of the positions you’re hiring for, your company’s resources, and your desired level of partnership with MACRO.
Here’s a breakdown of each option to help you decide:

1. Contingency Recruitment:

Best for: Mid-level roles, non-critical positions, roles with a larger candidate pool.
How it works: Multiple agencies may work on the same position; you pay a fee upon successful placement.
Pros: You have access to multiple agencies, you pay only when you hire, suitable for lower-priority positions.
Cons: Agencies may prioritize quantity over quality, less focused effort from agencies.

2. Retained Recruitment:

Best for: Executive, high-level, specialized roles, critical positions.
How it works: You engage one agency exclusively; you pay an upfront fee and the rest upon placement.
Pros: Exclusive attention from MACRO, focused and specialized approach, commitment to quality.
Cons: Higher upfront cost, limited competition among agencies, may take longer due to depth of search.

3. Exclusive Recruitment:

Best for: High-level roles, specialized positions, important but not necessarily executive positions.
How it works: You engage MACRO exclusively; similar to retained, but with less exclusivity.
Pros: Exclusive focus from MACRO, commitment to your search, potentially faster than retained.
Cons: A small upfront cost compared to contingency.

Consider the following factors when deciding:

Role Importance: For critical and high-level roles, Retained or Exclusive models offer more focused efforts and better access to top talent.
Resources: Retained and Exclusive models require an upfront investment, both in terms of time and money. Ensure your company has the resources to commit to these options.
Speed: If speed is crucial, Contingency or Exclusive models might yield faster results as multiple agencies (Contingency) or a dedicated agency (Exclusive) focus on your search.
Quality: If you’re seeking quality over quantity, Retained and Exclusive models are better suited as they emphasize finding the best-fit candidates.
Level of Partnership: If you want a consultative, strategic partnership, Retained and Exclusive models generally offer deeper collaboration.
Risk Tolerance: Contingency carries less risk as you only pay upon successful hire. Retained and Exclusive models require upfront payments.

Ultimately, the “best” service depends on your specific hiring needs, budget, timeline, and desired level of collaboration.
Many companies use a combination of these services based on the roles they’re hiring for.
It’s recommended to discuss your needs with us to determine which model aligns best with your goals.
