Contingency recruiting is a traditional form of hiring that many organizations are familiar with if they’ve worked with conventional staffing agencies. In this model, the organization only pays the recruiter or agency if a candidate is successfully placed in the position. Oftentimes, our clients prefer our other recruiting services such as hourly or subscription due to the associated cost savings. However, there are times when contingency makes sense. Contingency may be an ideal option to explore for specialized, confidential, or high-profile positions. SDHR Consulting prefers to work on exclusive engagements for contingent positions so that the candidates and client have the best customer experience.
Benefits of Contingency Recruiting
LOW RISK
If the recruiter does not place a candidate, then you don't pay. You will only be billed if a candidate has successfully joined your organization.
NO UP FRONT COSTS
You only pay when you get results.
There are no up front costs or hidden fees.
WIDELY ACCEPTED
This form of recruiting is commonly used by organizations of all sizes and industries. It is also a common way for Talent Acquisition departments to offload certain positions.
TRANSACTIONAL
This is a give-and-take arrangement with the expectation of receiving a high-profile candidate for the open position.
