The Clear Benefits of Atavas Retained Search
Unlike a contingency search firm, a retained search firm has a true “client” relationship. A retained search firm works in a genuine consultancy capacity with you to upgrade your talent corps across the board and to formulate a winning talent acquisition strategy.
If you are serious about hiring right, the benefits of Atavas retained search are tremendous. Your advance payment secures a high level of commitment .
This means we will:
- Dedicate a team of sourcing professionals to your search
- Set target dates for specified deliverables
- Use deep network sourcing
- Give you the right of first refusal on every candidate we find.
This degree of effort is essential to perform the type of candidate research it takes to deliver high potential candidates. The reason being that top candidates are usually not active “job seekers” and therefore don’t have their resumes posted online where contingency recruiters can find them.
Like any true consulting relationship, the level of energy and resources that Atavas retained search must invest in your business is simply not feasible without any assurance of ever being paid. Because of your financial commitment upfront, we can safely invest the time and effort required to source high quality candidates for you. That’s because they know they will ultimately fill your openings and be compensated for their efforts.

Contingency recruiters merely fill jobs. Retained recruiters bring talent to the table. Contingency recruiters have tactical relationships with businesses. Retained recruiters have strategic partnerships with their clients.
