Retained search is our highest-commitment offering — and our most powerful.
When you need the right person and can’t afford to wait, you move to the front of
the line with a dedicated recruiter, a structured process, and our strongest guarantee.
“Retained clients don’t just get our attention — they get our best.”
The CareerPaths NW Approach
Secures your dedicated recruiter and moves you to the front of the line immediately.
The remaining balance is due only when your candidate accepts the offer.
Retained clients are our top priority. Your search moves ahead of the queue and stays there — no competing for recruiter bandwidth.
You get a single point of ownership — a recruiter who knows your role deeply, represents your brand precisely, and is accountable to you alone.
Structured check-ins every week keep you informed on pipeline activity, candidate feedback, and search progress — no chasing, no silence.
Our strongest guarantee. If the hire doesn’t work out within 90 days, we go back to work — at no additional cost to you.
Our longest and strongest placement guarantee — exclusive to retained engagements. We’re confident enough in our process to back every retained placement with 90 full days of protection. If it doesn’t work out, we find your person again.
* 90-day guarantee applies to retained search engagements. Terms and conditions apply — speak with your engagement manager for details.
