Continually hiring capable employees is one of the most crucial aspects of any business. We at Springboard provide the best recruiting and human resources solution for each of our clients.


Retained Search

For retained searches, we charge an upfront fee when we enter into a contract for each individual assignment. After the contract, we immediately contact, interview, and screen candidates, providing a list in four to six weeks.

We continue with the candidate search and follow-ups, and the consultant assigned to the project will make sure that the hiring process is finished by the deadline.

Retained searches are especially effective for cases listed below.

  • Confidential positions. (Executive level positions, new departments, replacements, etc.)
  • Highly specialized positions that require candidates not easily available through regular searches.
  • Emergency situations where a position needs to be filled fast.

Contingency Search

Clients who are not pressed for time or are looking to fill a non-specialized position often choose the contingency search.

By keeping in close touch with our client’s HR personnel or line manager, we are able to smoothly and quickly find candidates.

Thanks to our years of industry experience, we have connections with exceptional candidates who would otherwise be difficult to contact. If you wish to expand your business or further improve your organization, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Outplacement

When reducing your workforce, we offer reemployment support for affected employees. We not only offer direct support such as advice for resumes and interviews, but also help individuals get mentally prepared for their job search. In some cases, we can refer them to jobs as well.

As we possess connections with multiple corporations across various industries, we are able to bridge the gap between companies looking to hire and companies looking to downsize. We can also help with transferring teams or entire departments, so let us know what it is you are looking for.
