Retained Search

Equilibrium Recruitment offers retained search services. Retained search is a type of executive search where the client pays the recruitment firm a retainer fee upfront, regardless of whether or not the firm is successful in placing a candidate. This allows the recruitment firm to devote more time and resources to the search, and it also gives the client more control over the process

Retained search process typically involves the following steps:

1. Defining the role and setting criteria: Equilibrium Recruitment will work with the client to define the role and create a job description. This includes identifying the key skills and experience that the ideal candidate will have, as well as the company culture and values.
2. Sourcing candidates: Equilibrium Recruitment will use a variety of methods to source candidates for the role, including their extensive network of contacts, online job boards, and social media.
3. Screening candidates: Equilibrium Recruitment will screen all candidates to ensure that they meet the minimum requirements for the role. This may include conducting phone interviews, video interviews, or in-person interviews.
4. Presenting candidates to the client: Equilibrium Recruitment will present the shortlisted candidates to the client for their review. The client may then choose to interview the candidates themselves, or they may ask Equilibrium Recruitment to facilitate the interview process.
5. Making an offer: Once the client has identified their preferred candidate, Equilibrium Recruitment will work with them to make an offer. Equilibrium Recruitment can also provide support with negotiating the salary and benefits package.
