Frequently Asked Questions

A retained campaign is where you engage the services of TPP as the sole consultancy managing all aspects of the assignment, including marketing (advertising and information pack/microsite ensuring an approach that complements your diversity and inclusion strategy), search (headhunting and networking) and finally, selection (enhanced assessment  by TPP Consultants through a combination of competency, strength and potential-based interview questions designed specifically for your role).

The Retained Search fee is a fixed amount agreed with the client upfront. Unlike contingency recruitment, the fee is usually payable in three equal instalments as detailed below:

  • The first third is payable upon engaging and retaining our services
  • The second third of the fee is payable upon acceptance of a short-list
  • The final third is payable once the successful candidate commences in post

An open recruitment campaign is both fair and the best way to attract a diverse pool of candidates for your Board vacancy. Adverts alone often fail to generate the required level of interest, so through the support of the Leadership and Governance team you will have the comfort of knowing that you will have a fair and equitable process that is promoted on both paid-for job boards, but also shared with specific and relevant networking groups. In addition, the team add to the process through their extensive knowledge of search and, by having been involved fully in the briefing, are well placed to secure the interest and applications from the very best candidates.

Our friendly Leadership & Governance team will take you through the process step-by-step for executive search recruitment. Our tailored service & in-depth consultation will ensure we reach the right professionals for your role. Get in touch with our team today for an initial conversation.
