Retained Recruitment

When looking for highly-skilled and prestigious candidates, our Retained Partnership offers an outstanding quality of service and the best value for money. It’s a fully in-depth approach to engaging with both passive and active candidates which can be pivotal in securing that key hire for your business.

The main difference between our Retained Partnership service and other offerings is that this is a service-based fee, rather than a fee on success. Generally speaking, the agreed fee is split into three payments which are due on assignment of the role(s), at an agreed mid-point and then finally upon completion and success.

One of the key advantages of partnering with ORB in this manner is that there is a firm commitment for both parties from the outset with a defined timeline and schedule. By having this commitment ORB Recruitment can utilise all necessary resources to undertake meticulous research of the candidate market, including competitor analysis, as well as fully utilising all available talent banks and social media platforms. Using our Retained Partnership our specialist consultants can thoroughly investigate candidates’ backgrounds, experience and skills to ensure that the shortlist of candidates presented is nothing less than exceptional.

It's also our most successful solution to date, boasting a massive 96% retention rate after 12 months, well above the industry average. This is attributed to the increased ability to build relationships with the candidates we select as well as gaining the most in-depth understanding of your business and the role requirements, to match the perfect candidate.

When should you use our Retained Partnership?

You can utilise our Retained Partnership at any time, for any permanent hire. However, for optimum results the best time to work on this basis would be:
