Contingent Search

Root Search Group offers a flexible contingent search model for organisations that need access to strong talent without an upfront commitment. You only pay when a candidate is successfully placed, making this a practical solution for fast‑moving, high‑volume, or ongoing hiring needs.

Our contingent searches are built on targeted outreach, structured screening, and access to our network across construction, infrastructure, and renewable energy. This ensures you receive qualified candidates who meet both the technical requirements and the cultural expectations of the role.

​

Fees are based on a percentage of the candidate’s first‑year base salary or total remuneration, with the option to include their projected first‑year bonus. This keeps the process transparent, predictable, and aligned with your hiring goals.

​

Contingent search gives you the benefit of RSG’s industry expertise, market reach, and candidate evaluation, while keeping your recruitment investment tied directly to results.

If you want, I can also create a shorter homepage‑friendly version or a comparison block showing Retained vs. Contingent for your Services page.
