Contingency Recruitment

Contingency recruitment is a type of recruitment process where recruitment agencies or recruiters get paid only upon the successful hiring of a qualified candidate. This model is commonly used for non-executive roles and involves multiple agencies competing to fill the same position. It offers no upfront cost to the employer, but speed and volume are often prioritised over deep candidate vetting.
