Fees in the Executive Search Industry: What Search Consultants Charge for Their Services

Softsell Inset

This comprehensive report supplies a solid assessment of the competitive environment for more effective management of target fee structures. Featuring over 80 tables and charts and thousands of data points based on surveys and interviews with a large sample of US-based executing recruiting firms, the findings dispel the myths regarding frameworks executive recruiters are using to set fees and where leaders in the industry see the market for fees headed.
Fee models analyzed include traditional retained search, contingency recruiting, hybrid structure (e.g., "con-tainer" and "retingency" search), hourly billing, milestone billing, unbundled search models, pay per view, and other evolving fee structures.
This report takes a deep look into fees practices and details including:
  • average fees
  • highest/lowest fees charged
  • average compensation used to establish fees
  • highest/lowest compensation bases
  • percentage breakdown by fee arrangement
  • flat fee structures
  • creative fee arrangements
  • minimum fee averages
  • fee caps
Fees in the Executive Search Industry takes a look at who is responsible for establishing the fee arrangements within firms, and provides a level of client resistance to fee structures. In addition, executive fee discount practices, firm expense charging policies, client guarantees, and off-limits practices are discussed. The report analyzes all these findings by: type of firm classification, focus industry area, geographic region served, and job function placement levels.
