Three Recruitment ApproachesThe Riverside Difference
Understanding your strategic options when securing partner and director talent for accounting firm growth with Riverside Executive
Contingent Recruitment
Often Seen As The "Low Risk" Option, But It Can Backfire At The Executive Level
Strategic Advantages
- No upfront cost requirement
- Multiple recruiters can expand market reach
Strategic Limitations
- 20+ agencies competing creates market confusion and candidate fatigue
- Commoditises senior roles, diminishing their executive appeal
- Candidates experience transactional treatment rather than strategic partnership
- Clients surrender control and strategic oversight of the recruitment process
Retained Recruitment
Designed For Senior Roles, But Not Always Suited To Accounting Firms
Strategic Advantages
- Dedicated recruiter committed to comprehensive executive search
- Structured methodology with defined search phases
Strategic Limitations
- Requires 30-70% fee commitment upfront without success guarantee
- Constrains access to candidates from alternative recruitment channels
- Significant financial exposure in today's competitive talent market
