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.
Why should I not use Contingency firms?
Don't misunderstand us, contingency search is great for lower level positions, but does not work for critical, senior, or leadership positions, simply due to lack of focus. Contingency firms must work on 20-30 different positions at a time, and simply forward resumes in the hopes that one will stick and a single hire is made.
Retained Search is Focused on you, the client, and saves you time by being focused on your needs, not 20-30 other simultaneous 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%.
We only get paid on deliverables. Our Milestone-driven approach is one that works simply because: if we do not meet our 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.
Mackenzie Search guarantees the entire 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.
