Contingent

Contingent search provides both the client and Paladin flexibility in searches that don't need to be filled "yesterday". Contingent search is a conditional agreement between Paladin and its client.

In a contingent search, the client provides no up-front retainer and Paladin provides no guarantee in regard to time committed to the search, number of candidates contacted or number of candidates interviewed. The amount of candidates that a client will see is dependent upon many factors, which might include geography, skill set demand, or available resources.

A fee is paid to Paladin only when the client hires a candidate presented by Paladin. As Paladin's business is client-driven, we strive to find and present candidates to you as timely as possible and with your hiring best interests in mind.

We have completed thousands of contingent searches over the past twelve years and would be happy to detail our process and Letter of Agreement to you via phone or email. Please contact the office nearest you for more information.
