Fees are commonly paid in stages across launch, shortlist, and completion milestones. The structure reflects the depth of market research, candidate engagement, and assessment involved.

Strategy, transformation, data, risk, and industry specific advisory practices are often the most competitive. Firms also face pressure when trying to hire leaders who can open new markets quickly.

Yes, strong retained search partners assess leadership style, team building ability, and sales credibility, not just technical expertise. That is important because senior consulting hires influence both delivery quality and growth.
