Contingent Staffing

Contingent staffing is an agreement where the agency provides direct hire recruiting services to an employer and does not get paid until a placement is made.

This includes a free consultation, finding and screening talent, scheduling interviews, and assisting with other duties before and after a candidate fills your open role.

The major draw to contingent recruiting services is having all the major benefits of third-party recruitment without the financial risk.

With this being a performance-based model, it incentivizes agencies to find and submit the best candidates who will be a great fit for your team and get hired.

It is also cost-effective. Finding the right candidate improves retention, productivity, and reduces training, turnover, and recruitment costs in the long run. Making this a safe investment in the short-term, that pays off in the long run.

Yes, contingent staffing is typically for direct hire positions where the agency is paid once a placement is made.

The main difference is in the fee structure, and type of roles typically targeted with these recruitment strategies.

With contingency recruitment the staffing agency is only paid when a placement is made, and can be applicable to any direct hire role.

Retained staffing is usually used for recruiting leadership roles in executive search where there is an upfront fee and ongoing, focused recruitment effort.

This depends on your company’s specific needs.

If you are looking for quick access to highly qualified talent in your industry, a partner to manage the recruitment process, and a shorter time to fill, a third-party agency is a great option!

One of the major benefits of a staffing agency is having access to passive candidates qualified to fill your role, who are not actively looking for and applying to jobs. 70% of job seekers are passive, and gaining access to them is a game changer.

A third-party staffing agency can especially be beneficial if you are looking to hire temporary contract positions and hard-to-fill direct hire positions.

Hunter Recruiting follows internal best practices and principles developed over the past 20 years to make effective placements.

This starts with a rooted connection with our clients and applicants through a deep understanding of their industry, pain points, and goals and efficient communication with all parties.

Every new position search starts with a consultation with a recruiter who gets to know you, what you are looking for in a candidate, and any information we need to lead an effective talent acquisition.

Then we post the opening to our proprietary job board and tap into our talent pool of over 1.2 million candidates to start screening and scheduling interviews.

Hunter Recruiting’s average time to fill a permanent position is 20-40 days, depending on your recruiting needs, screening requirements, and timeliness of client interviews.

Time to fill spans from the start of the search until an accepted offer from the candidate.

No, our initial consultation is free and you don’t pay until a recruitment service agreement is reached.

There is no upfront cost, with a fee that is paid when a placement is made.

This fee is a percentage of the agreed upon salary of the employee, which ranges from 25-30%.
