Management Solutions Group has the flexibility to work for you on a Retained, Contingency, Engagement Fee, Or Hourly/Contract basis.  

• On a Retained basis, Management Solutions Group can manage the entire search process for you.  This includes assisting your search committee and board in developing a job description, reviewing compensation package, and defining the ideal candidates background;  Identifying the potential candidate base;  making contact with hundreds of potential candidates via direct mail outs, telephone introductions, etc; and considering responses from targeted advertising.   We qualify all applicants, exploring their personal career goals, checking formal and informal references, and confirming background information.  We then present the top resumes to the search committee, select the finalists, and arrange for on-site interviews.  Our retained fee is based on the first year expected total compensation, and is payable 1/3^rd on acceptance of search, 1/3^rd on candidate acceptance of offer, and remaining balance on candidate start date.
• On a Contingency basis, we can source candidates and present them as we uncover them, working confidentially to identify top talent for your organization.  Our contingency fee is also a percentage of the first year  expected total compensation, payable in full upon your hiring one of our referrals.  Under this type search, there is no obligation on your part until you actually hire one of our referrals.
• On an Engagement Fee basis, we can initiate a dedicated search, and commit a certain amount of time and resources specifically to your facility and your needs.  Once you have seen our initial results, you can then decide whether to continue using us on an exclusive retained arrangement, or to have us continue on a contingency basis. The engagement fee would be equal to 1/3^rd of the estimated full fee for successful completion of the search, and will apply in full to our search fee when you hire one of our referred candidates. 
• On a Contract Or Hourly basis, we can dedicate one of our senior recruiters to your search to perform whichever tasks your search committee would like to place in the hands of our agency.  This can include reviewing and qualifying the resumes you have already received in your post office box, checking references and cross checking candidates reputations in their previous communities, verifying background and education, sourcing new candidates, consulting with your search committee to further develop your job description, minimum requirements, desired candidate profile and background, or anything else the search committee would like to outsource.   Our hourly rate varies depending on skill level and nature of assignment, but typically will range from $40 - $65 per hour, plus expenses.

With any of these options, we can confidentially contact potential candidates who may not respond to your advertisement, introduce them to your opportunity, and help them to assess whether or not they should put their name ‘into the hat’.  Many potentially excellent candidates will not respond to your advertisements for fear of the public nature of your search damaging their current career position.   You will find that our discreet approach can open the doors to a much larger pool of candidates.  

AND, as always, all Management Solutions Group candidates come with a Replacement Guarantee, to reduce the risk and cost of making an occasional unsuccessful new-hire decision.
