Why Choose US - Reph Recruiting

REPH v. Contingency Firms

Conduct search assignments on an exclusive contract basis. Regardless of the degree of difficulty, REPH focuses on uninterrupted results knowing that commitment to finding the right person is secure. Usually within one week candidates are submitted to the client that are on point.	Work on non-exclusive assignments, with no guarantee of payment, and are usually in competition with other similar firms or our agencies. The contingency firms daily & privately access time allocation to a given search based on undisclosed criteria. This results in the false impression of a commitment to a search when, in reality, they are working on other things.

With no guarantee of payment for services performed, the consultant cannot afford to invest much time in a search beyond basic recruiting and submission of resumes.
