                              Why Retained Search?

                              Retained Search carries the following stereotypes: "as being the most expensive type of search, you never get what you pay for, it's over-rated", etc. 

                              If it is not a mission-critical position that needs to be filled or is a redundant position like lower level sales positions, then you should consider alternative Recruitment Solutions. Otherwise, retained search is your best option.

                              Fact: Retained Search is focused on you, the client, and saves you time by being focused on your needs, not the needs of 20-30 other concurrent clients or projects.

                              Mackenzie, by design, is different than other Retained Search Firms:
                              We are very selective in the searches we choose and limit the number of searches we undertake at any given time.
                              We guarantee our work 100%.
                              By design: We only get paid on deliverables. (see fee structure)

                              Our Milestone-driven approach is one that works simply because: if we do not meet our mutually agreed upon set Milestones, we do not earn our fees along the way. We have 3 milestones to meet: Research, Candidate Delivery, Candidate Hire.

                              *Most big 3 and other retained firms will only accept a search if they get their fees at 30, 60, and 90 days, regardless of making a hire for the client. Is that what you want?

                              Mackenzie Search guarantees the entire Retained search 100%; if we do not find you the candidate you want to hire we will refund the entire fee paid us.

                              Compare Mackenzie's approach to the other firms you have worked with in the past and you will see how we save you time, expense and headaches, so you can go back to doing your job.

                              For results and partnerships that win every time call Mackenzie.
