The following example demonstrates our Recruiting & Search Services approach associated with placement fees, and  the associated one-year warranty provided on each candidate. For ease of calculation purposes, we will use the following set of assumptions to illustrate each milestone in our placement fee approach:

  • Assumption #1 – The Search Criteria is targeting a Network Administrator
  • Assumption #2 – The Total 1st Year Compensation is $50,000.00
  • Assumption #3 – The negotiated placement fee is 20% of the 1st year total compensation - $50,000.00 x 20% = $10,000.00
  • Assumption #4 – The Candidate’s Hire Date is January 1st

Milestone 1 - Candidate Hire Date:  Client pays CTS 50% of the total compensation package agreed to by both the Client and the candidate for the successful hire. This payment is made to CTS by the Client within 14 days of the selected candidate hire date.


Milestone 2 - 90 Day Candidate Evaluation Period:  At the conclusion of the 90 day candidate evaluation period, the Client pays CTS 25% of the total compensation package agreed to by both the Client and the candidate for the successful hire. This payment is made to CTS by the Client within 14 days of the selected candidate's 90 day evaluation period based on the candidate's hire date.


Milestone 3 - 12 Month (365 day) Warranty: At CTS, we believe that a true partnership involves all parties. As a result, the remaining 25% of the total compensation package agreed to by both the Client and the candidate for the successful hire is not paid until the warranty period has ended. If the candidate leaves our Client for any reason during the period between the 91st and 365th day of employment, the Client will not be invoiced for the remaining 25% of the placement fee.  When was the last time you engaged a recruiting and search firm that stood behind their candidates with a 12 month, 365 day warranty? That is our commitment to our Client's success.



  • Placement Fee Schedule- We believe our approach to placement fees is a revolutionary change for this industry.  Since our executive team comes from companies that engaged recruiting and search firms to help staff positions within their operations, they understand how frustrating it can be when a candidate does not meet the firm’s expectations, or leaves the company during the 1st year of service. So our firm took a different approach: (1) Establish a placement fee based on 1st year total compensation of the candidate selected; and (2) Establish a placement fee schedule that uses 3-(three) milestones:
  • Understanding the client's needs - This aspect of our approach is key because it includes discussions associated with (a) technical, organizational, or other abilities/experience needed for the candidate to be considered for the position; (b) communication skills; (c) specific educational requirements; (d)  detailed list of specific qualifications required; (e) the personality type that would best fit within the Client's team; and (f) character traits that will increase the likelihood that they can do the job successfully
