Its time for an alternative to traditional search firms.

For decades, the executive search industry has revolved around the traditional retained search model. In a nutshell, clients pay an executive recruiting firm a fee when the search is started, a fee at a halfway point, and a third when a candidate is hired or passes a certain retention period. However, for more than 21 years Qualigence International has been offering an alternative model. 

If its time for you to stop the insanty of traditional retained search, you can find out more about us here: https://qualigence.com/solutions/executive-search-services/ 

Our firm, Qualigence International has long prided oursleves on our unique business model. Our executive search offerings are no different. Rather than paying an upfront fee or a commission when a hire is made, our team bills hourly for the time spent on the search. Furthermore, we caps every executive search at 19% of the candidates’ base salary, meaning a client never pays us more than 19%. 

Our view, and vision of our founder Steve Lowisz, is that this model eliminates excessive search fees and frees up our team to focus on quality of hire above all else. Furthermore, it allows our team to serve as trusted consultants to every client, helping you refine and clarify your understanding of what you need from a new leader. 

Scott Wilson, our director of executive search at Qualigence, elaborates: 

“Time and again I’ve found that our hourly model allows me to build a stronger rapport with candidates and clients alike. Candidates trust that I don’t have an ulterior motive in recommending a certain position, because we're getting paid whether they take it or not.”  

“Meanwhile, clients appreciate they’re not out $20,000 or more on day one. They can rest assured we’re never rushing the process to collect a fee. Lastly, our 19% cost-per-hire cap means that our clients can save a lot of money compared to the industry standard of 30-33%.”
