A search firm will charge a retainer upfront, a portion of the fee at the presentation of candidates, and then the remainder of the fee after you hire a candidate. With us, you pay a small fee after you review candidates we present that is fully reducible from the final placement fee due once (and if) you hire a candidate.
We are finance professionals, giving us the insight to vet finance professionals effectively and efficiently. We work with you to identify the key characteristics and competencies needed in the role for which you are hiring. Once you select the top candidates, we will provide them with a behavioral assessment and debrief with you on the results, giving you an added layer of comfort that you are bringing on a team member that fits your organization.
We work with you on your timeline and review preferences. In a situation where you need your next hire as quickly as possible, we can present suitable candidates we find on an immediate basis. If you are in no rush, you may prefer to review candidates in batches of 5 or more.
For most markets, you can expect to have candidates to review within a few weeks of engaging us. For competitive positions, this timeline may be shorter. In comparison, a traditional search process can take 6 months or more depending on the role.
Once you engage McCracken, we will begin with a discovery call with you and all key stakeholders to understand the value you hope the new hire will bring to the organization. From there we development a Qualified Candidate Profile (QCP) which will include the core competencies and behavioral characteristics required for your role. The next stages are all on us as we identify and present candidates that match the QCP we defined together. We will then coordinate candidate interviews with your company before you select the top candidates. With the top candidates, we will issue a behavioral assessment and debrief with you on the results to ensure alignment with the QCP and your culture. Finally, the offer is extended and candidate onboarding begins.
On average, you will have candidates to review within 2 to 3 weeks from the time you engage us. This timeline is subject to change based on a variety of factors surrounding the role. Some of these factors include the market in which you are looking, the specialty needed, the compensation offered, the remote or non-remote nature of the work, benefits, and more.
Our placement fee is equal to 25% of the candidate's base salary plus bonus compensation.
