Retained & Contingency Search

No matter what your needs, the Natek search process consists of a step-by-step plan: We first discuss the assignment in depth and to develop a specialized search outline, review the (knock-out factors), and identify the management profile. We then develop a specific search network that will lead to the location of preferred candidates. The candidates will be interviewed, have their backgrounds verified and their references checked by Natek.

Retained Search

A retained search identifies and appraises executives well-qualified to fill specific management positions. A search is always confidential and is frequently used for mid-level to senior-level management positions or for positions that are difficult to fill or for those which must be filled immediately. A retained search involves a concentrated effort. We focus our time exclusively on that particular assignment, thus enabling us to go to great lengths to identify the best available executives. Natek will continue the search for and refer candidates until the position is filled. Average searches last between 30 and 90 days.

Contingency Search

Contingency is most often used in finding candidates for entry to mid-level positions. Our time and effort is distributed among several assignments and our fee is earned upon hire of the applicant. Our recruitment fee is earned when you hire a candidate referred directly through our efforts. The terms of this agreement shall apply for one year from the date of our most recent communication regarding a candidate. Our Service Fees are calculated as a percentage of the total 1st year compensation of the candidate you decide to hire.

Annual Service

The staff at Natek will become a valuable source in terms of understanding the clients environment and unique requirements by developing and maintaining a search network tailored to their individual requirements.

Natek will provide priority handling to all search assignments conducted for the client.
