【Contingency search】
The contingency search is a 100% success-based service that requires no initial costs. Costs will only be incurred after the successful completion of the search by Descartes Search. We will search for the right candidates with qualities and characteristics that meet the client's requirements, and will respond accurately and promptly to the client’s inquiries during the whole recruitment process. After joining, if the successful candidate resigns from his or her job prematurely, within the service guarantee period, the introduction fee will be refunded according to the introduction’s contract.
【Retainer search】
In the retainer search contract, the search will officially start when the retainer fee is paid by the client, and the search for the right candidate will be conducted intensively until a successful introduction is made according to the request of the client. This type of search is recommended when the client is looking for highly specialized skills or for a very experienced person such as in the executive search or in head-hunting. This is also recommended when the search is urgent.
In our retainer contract, first of all, we will take time to sit down with you, the client, to listen to your requests and needs, and we will detect the important issues related to the search of the right candidate(s) for your job opening(s), and we will conduct regular discussions. Also we will provide our feedback on a regular basis so that we can accurately grasp the features of the perfect candidate.
We will also conduct scouting, screening, technical testing, and comprehensive evaluation. After that, we will only introduce to you, the candidates that have passed our very tight filter with a high sense of responsibility. We will make sure that you have priority over an offer negotiation in case the candidate is getting several offers from various companies.
