Hmmm, We have contracted both retained and contingency. Again, it depends upon the client, the position need, and our experience with the prospective client.

<p>We've certainly turned down retainers as well, but for us that means turning down the assignment completely. As part of maintaining your own quality of delivery, you have to realise that sometimes there are clients that simply aren't good enough for you to work with. Walk away...if you can't forge a working "partnership" with your client, don't work with them!</p>

<p>Hi Aaron,</p>
<p>Thanks. I already mostly work on an exclusive basis. My question was more around how do you sell the retained search to a new client that you are prospecting? Would love to hear more about how you sell the concept...but as you mentioned, that may be in a future blog. Will keep an eye out for it.</p>

<p>First off we only take exclusive assignments, so if they've already got the role out to all and sundry realistically they'd have to tell them all to cancel their activities.I guess it's in the timing. Develop a close relationship with them so the next time they have a role to fill they give it to you on a retainer. Forget about the non-exclusive work and move onto something more profitable.</p>

<p>We've had several incidents (including one today), where a client was not getting candidates via a contingent recruiters so he told them to stop and committed to us. His words were "when the agencies can't fill the role we go to the real recruiters" In Australia, the talent shortage coupled with record low unemployment has made this scenario very common.</p>

<p>Hi Aaron,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Could you please expand on this a bit? How do you sell the concept, demonstrate the value and ask for the retained search? Especially when hit with the objection, "we already have this out to several contingency firms and they're showing us some good candidates?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
