Contingent recruitment is a common and historically go to solution for employers. The question is, do you truly understand what contingent recruitment is and is this the best solution for you?
Securing and retaining talent is the number one challenge that businesses face in what is a very competitive market, and this needs to be considered when selecting the right solution for you.
Contingency recruitment is simple, we get paid on success. If we as the recruiter does not supply the winning candidate to fill the requirement, we do not get paid. You could described it as a ‘No win, no fee’.
The power here is very much in the hands of the employer – However due to the lack of commitment in this solution, agencies will spread their risk by working on multiple roles at once, therefore reducing the guarantee of filling the role and potentially the quality, whilst increasing the volume of contact as companies will generally engage multiple recruitment agencies.
