Search Solutions

“WHEEL OF WHY”

SEARCH Solutions
Depending on your specific needs, we offer the following search types to select from: Retained and Contingency. Our rates are determined by the position type, exclusivity level, and complexity of the hiring process.

RETAINED Solutions
At Alto Consulting, we understand the cost and business implications of getting a key appointment wrong, especially in a Senior Appointment or key / time sensitive hire. For these critical hires, the contingency recruitment model does not work effectively. We developed our Retained Solution. A fully tailored recruitment solution, designed to map the entire market to provide you with access to the best talent, better control of the message being communicated to the market and all in a much shorter timeframe than the contingency model. Additionally, you will gain access to further market insight, intelligence, and technology, supporting you in making the right hiring decision, ensuring you get the best person for the job. This is why we have a 100% success rate in Retained Search Importantly , this investment does not cost any more than a traditional model, it’s simply a different payment structure for a better result!

CONTINGENCY Search
We maintain a high level of commitment to clients who prefer to use a success-based approach to recruiting. A contingency search is 100% success based. Fees for this type of search are only paid upon successful placement and hiring of a candidate.

Performance-based Retained Search FAQ

FEES

  • This is performance-based retainer
  • There is no additional cost to the retained model
  • Only a slight change in the payment pattern
  • We would work on an agreed consulting fee
  • We would estimate the value of the placement fee
  • One third of this fee is paid at the start of the hiring project and is referred to as the “Start Fee” The remaining 2 thirds are paid on the successful hiring of the candidate
  • The final fee would be adjusted down or up depending on the actual hiring fee
  • The final fee is only payable on the successful hiring of the candidate

SEARCH MODEL

  • Our search model is a partnership, we work for you, not the candidate, we never introduce a professional that we wouldn’t hire ourselves.
    You will receive full candidate “exclusivity” throughout the search process
  • Executive search is active, consequently it’s much more efficient and faster as we are actively headhunting everyday until the searches are filled. (Job boards and contingent search are passive, waiting for professionals to apply
  • We only introduce top-level, passive candidates via leveraging our extensive network, we seek out the best
  • During the search you will receive detailed “market intelligence”, this is valuable to learn about the competitive landscape
  • We meet and thoroughly screen every professional, this saves you time and money screening off spec professionals, or professionals whose resumes look good, but are not in-fact suitable
  • We negotiate on your behalf, it’s easier for an outside consultant to do trial closes, our goal is for you to not pay more than you have to
  • We do in-depth background checks prior to offer signing. We are licensed and know how to do these in a very detailed way
  • We fully support you and the professionals with the on-boarding process
