In many cases, the clients with which we work desire a risk-free relationship. With the K-12 contingency type recruitment, no fees are due until you hire our candidate. If you prefer a risk-free search relationship and your search does not involve confidentiality, sensitivity, a high degree of complexity, or the exclusive focus of a search firm, the contingency fee structure may be your preference.
While there are obvious advantages and disadvantages to the K-12 recruitment contingency fee approach, it is the best option for you if you do not require or expect a single search firm to land the results that you need for your school or school district.
The K-12 contingency search is especially suited for filling positions or roles having a base salary of less than $80,000. Contingency search provides you with a flexible, low-risk/low-commitment approach to utilizing our K-12 recruitment agency as your recruiting partner. As your contingent search partner, we are certainly committed to providing you with exceptional service and successfully completing the recruiting assignment.
