Retained Search: A Retained Search is generally reserved for a rush or extremely sensitive assignment and requires a financial commitment on the part of the client prior to beginning the search. This type of search enables Kuttnauer Search Group, Inc. to offer more flexibility and resources to meet the critical client requirements. Retained Searches are geared for clients who have shown a commitment to filling positions through our firm, and a commitment to managing the process within their firm. A Retain Search will always take priority over a contingency search.

Contingency Search: Contingency Searches provide a fast quality service. Full search Placement Fees are "contingent" on the hiring of a referred candidate. Fees for this service are predetermined at the start of the search and can be either based on a percentage of the candidate’s first year’s compensation or a flat fee.

Contract Staffing: Allows you to bring in professional-level employees for a specific length of time or for a specific project. Top Echelon Contracting, Inc. allows us to supply our client companies with top-notch professionals for a specific length of time or for a specific project. The contractor is the employee of our contracting division, freeing our client from administrative problems, tax and workers' compensation issues, payroll, and unemployment liabilities.
