Contingent Search

We recommend the contingent search model to source niche talent, hard-to-fill roles that are an immediate priority for your organization.  Typically, this model would be used when hiring individual contributors up to and potentially including mid-level managers.

On a contingent search, we focus on finding the best available talent as efficiently as possible.  Our turnaround time to have a candidate in front of a client on a contingent search averages less than 3 days.

The contingent search model also allows for a more flexible approach to hiring the ideal candidate.

There are 3 Primary Hiring Models Within a Contingent Search:

  1. Direct Hire (Sometimes called Permanent Hire or Headhunting)
    • Client hires candidate as a full-time employee on day one.
  1. Contract-To-Hire (Sometimes called Temp-To-Perm)
    • Candidate starts as a full-time employee of Laine Recruiting while performing services as a contract resource for the client. After an agreed upon duration, client hires employee directly (or can buy-out contract early).
  1. Project-Based (Sometimes called Contract or Temp Staffing)
    • Candidate is hired as and remains a full-time employee of Laine Recruiting while performing services as a contract resource for the client.
