Client-Driven, Flexible Fee Structures
Momentum Legal Search offers a variety of fee structures, including retained, exclusive and contingency fees:
- Retained Search: An exclusive arrangement between client and search firm; fees paid incrementally based on achieving mutually-agreed milestones. Retained searches have the primary advantage of signaling to the market an organization's commitment to a thorough and disciplined process, and involve the evaluation and comparison of both internal and external candidates.
- Exclusive, Non-Retained Search: Also an exclusive arrangement with similar advantages of a retained search agreement. Both retained and exclusive arrangements typically reduce the time to hire by 30%.
- Contingency Search: A non-exclusive arrangement is used by clients that have contracted with more than one search firm for that particular search assignment. Contingency searches usually yield a high volume of candidate resumes in a short amount of time. However, they risk search firm overlap and inconsistent messaging. Clients taking this approach get the best results by working only with NALSC member firms who adhere to the same ethical standards.
We also offer alternative fee arrangements and would welcome the opportunity to discuss a fee structure that is best suited for your organization.
