What is contingency recruitment?

Contingency recruitment is a recruiting service where a recruiter or recruitment agency is only paid when a candidate has been successfully placed. Typically, in contingency recruitment, the recruiter works on a “no win, no fee” basis.

In other words, the fee for the recruitment service is contingent upon the recruiter filling the open position, with a qualified candidate who meets the requirements. This means that if the recruiter is unable to find a suitable candidate for the position, the client doesn’t pay. However, if the recruiter successfully places a candidate, they will receive a fee. This is usually calculated as a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary.

How does contingency recruitment work?

Contingency recruitment is often used for filling lower to mid-level positions, or for roles where there is a large pool of potential candidates available. It can be contrasted with retained search, where the client pays an upfront fee to the recruiter to search for candidates exclusively for their organization, regardless of whether a hire is made.

Client engagement:

The process begins when a company approaches a recruitment agency or individual recruiter with a job opening they need to fill.

Candidate sourcing:

Once the recruiter understands the client’s needs, they begin sourcing candidates.

Candidate screening:

As candidates apply or are identified, the recruiter screens them to assess their suitability for the position. This screening process involves reviewing resumes, conducting initial phone or video interviews, and assessing candidates’ skills, experience, and cultural fit with the client organization.

Interview coordination:

The recruiter coordinates interviews between the client and the selected candidates.

Negotiation and offer:

If the client decides to hire one of the presented candidates, the recruiter assists in negotiating the terms of employment, including salary, benefits, start date, and any other relevant details.

Placement and follow-up:

Once an offer is accepted, the recruiter ensures a smooth transition for the candidate into their new role.

Fee payment:

Finally, upon successful placement and the candidate’s acceptance of the job offer, the client pays the recruiter a fee based on the agreed-upon terms. If no suitable candidate is found, the client does not owe any payment.

How do I know if a recruitment agency is legit?

Look for reviews, testimonials, and ratings from previous clients and candidates. Check the agency’s website, social media presence, and any other online platforms for credibility.
A legitimate agency should be transparent about their processes, fees, and terms of service. They should provide clear communication and be willing to address any concerns or questions you may have.
Evaluate the professionalism of the agency’s representatives, including their responsiveness, knowledge, and willingness to provide assistance.
Be cautious of agencies that make unrealistic promises, request upfront fees without providing clear value, or exhibit unprofessional behavior. Trust your instincts and proceed with caution if anything seems suspicious.
