Retained Staffing

Retained staffing, also known as retained search or retained recruitment service where we as a staffing agency is exclusively engaged by an employer to fill a specific position. In this arrangement, the employer pays a fee upfront to retain the services of the staffing agency. The agency then conducts an extensive search and recruitment process to find the most qualified candidates. Typically, retained staffing is used for executive-level positions or specialized roles where it may be challenging to find suitable candidates.

Exclusive engagement with the staffing agency
Upfront payment or retainer fee
In-depth candidate search and recruitment process
Customized approach tailored to the client's needs

Contingent Staffing

Contingent staffing, on the other hand, is a service where we as a staffing agency is paid a fee only when a candidate they have been sourced is successfully placed in a job with an employer.

Contingent staffing is widely used for a range of positions across various industries.
