Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical recruiter placement fee rate?
Contingency recruiting fees commonly range from 15 to 25 percent of the placed candidate first-year salary, with executive search or highly specialized roles sometimes commanding higher rates.
What is the difference between contingency and retained search fees?
Contingency search fees are paid only upon a successful placement, while retained search involves an upfront fee paid regardless of outcome, typically used for senior or hard-to-fill executive roles, often with a different overall fee structure.
Why is placement fee based on salary rather than a flat rate?
Basing the fee on salary scales recruiter compensation with the complexity and value of the role being filled, since higher-salary positions are often more difficult and time-consuming to source and place successfully.
