Modus Operandi

MODIFIED RETAINED SEARCH PROGRAMS

Fees are calculated on first year compensation (base salary plus cash incentives). When compensation is unknown or cannot be estimated a flat fee is agreed upon.

Payment in $US is made 25% at start of search, 25% at first interview and 50% sixty days from start of employment. Search expenses are absorbed by Helffrich International and not charged to the client unless extraordinary (travel, international communication, costs for advertising, research, testing, background checks, etc.). In such cases they are subject to prior approval by the client.

Candidates are presented confidentially for consideration only within the employing organization, its divisions and subsidiaries.

Please note our 'modified retained' programs differ substantially from traditional retained search.
