data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A retained executive search is a recruitment strategy in which a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/staffing\">staffing firm<\/a> is hired to conduct a search for specific executive-level positions. The staffing firm takes a retainer, or payment, to find the right candidate for a specific position. Usually in retained executive searches, the staffing agency is paid regardless of who is hired for the job and when. Although retained executive searches are typically more expensive than contingency searches, they usually are more time-intensive and thorough since the positions involved are high-impact. The types of positions that businesses may use a retained executive search for include CEO, CFO, VP, and similar. As a result, retained executive searches are considered a premium service for staffing agencies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58c563c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"58c563c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Retained_Executive_Searches_to_Businesses\"><\/span>Benefits of Retained Executive Searches to Businesses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bbeb9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3bbeb9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Businesses use retained executive searches to reap the many benefits of this kind of recruitment. With a retained executive search, companies receive a more detailed consultation and personalized level of customer service with their staffing agency. In addition, businesses are more likely to find the type of candidate they are looking for, as retained executive searches require an in-depth screening process and access to passive candidates. Passive candidates are the type of employees who are not actively seeking new positions. They are usually higher qualified and more specialized in their field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd01eb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bd01eb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/RetainedExecutiveSearch2_IST.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2675\" alt=\"Retained Executive Search Disucssion\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/RetainedExecutiveSearch2_IST.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/RetainedExecutiveSearch2_IST-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/RetainedExecutiveSearch2_IST-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0e5cd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e0e5cd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Retained_Executive_Searches_to_Candidates\"><\/span>Benefits of Retained Executive Searches to Candidates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b05170d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b05170d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As for candidates, retained executive searches are the ideal way to get a new position for a variety of reasons. One main benefit to candidates is that they\u2019ll have access to c-level positions that are not available publicly. This is because staffing firms who represent companies that are looking to fill top positions like CEO and CFO do so while the position is unlisted. Another benefit to working with a staffing agency that does retained executive searches is that candidates have a higher likelihood of landing a high-level position. Typically the pool of talent that a staffing firm pulls from for these kinds of searches is much smaller, so candidates have a better chance of securing the job. Fostering a relationship with a staffing agency that works in retain executive searches can result in getting a dream position and a desirable salary \u2013 all without having to send out any resumes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-feb25d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"feb25d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Executive_Search_Professionals_That_Works_for_Your_Business\"><\/span>Find Executive Search Professionals That Works for Your Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c76b511 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c76b511\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When you choose the right executive staffing firm, they will bring you the right top-level talent for open high-impact positions throughout the greater Houston area and beyond.
