On average, UK contingent recruiters get paid for 20% of their efforts. For retained recruiters it's 98%. Fancy learning how to only do retained work?
To be clear, switching to retained could boost your profits by 500% (just do the maths).
Our next guest on the MARShow is Greg Elton of search firm Day-2, is 100% retained and has been for years.
Some of you might be saying "he probably only does mega-deals which is why they are retained"
Well, you'd be wrong.
True, some of his placements are very chunky, but Greg maintains any salary over £40k can be on a retained basis, if pitched properly.
And that's the rub, many recruiters just don't pitch in the right way to win retained work.
In this show we'll explore the following: -
✅ Which roles can be retained
✅ How to pitch to win retained deals
✅ How to overcome client objections
✅ The difference between retained and exclusive and why it matters
✅ What to do if the client is unconvinced
✅ How retained searches differ from contingent searches
Moving to retained can massively boost your profits, well of course it will if you get paid for every role you work.
