EMPLOYER FAQ

What is your fee structure?

Morrow’s standard fee is one-third of the candidate’s first-year compensation package. A retainer, of one-third of the estimated fee, is paid up front to initiate the search process; the final two-thirds are due when the hired candidate begins employment.

​

What is the difference between “retained” and “contingency” executive search?

In a “retained” search, a company contracts with or “hires” a search firm to focus efforts on finding a person for a specific position within their organization. A retained search requires a very focused effort, whereby the structure and environment of the client company are discussed and understood to ensure that both the candidate’s and the client’s long-term goals complement each other. Retained search receives the highest priority, best focus and optimum results.

 

In a “contingency” search, a company pays a fee only if an individual is placed. Because there are no retainer monies or agreements between the search firm and the company, the assignment is not considered a priority.

 

Although we prefer (and it’s in the clients best interest) to work on a retained basis, we occasionally accept contingency searches if done on an exclusive arrangement.
