Contingency search

Contingency Search is a recruitment method in which payment is only made after the company has successfully placed an employee at its premises through that recruiting agency. It is typically non-exclusive, meaning multiple agencies may compete to fill the same position. This approach is commonly used for mid-level or non-executive roles and offers no upfront cost to the employer.
