Services Tailored to Your Needs
-
Retained Search:
Ideal for filling critical or time-sensitive positions, we create a tailored search strategy for your needs. A small retainer initiates the search, which is applied to the placement fee at the project's conclusion. Retained projects always take top priority.
-
Contingent Search:
Perfect for companies that prefer not to commit to a devoted effort, but still want access to qualified candidates. This option lets you see candidates we are currently working with without the need for a retainer.
Frequently Asked Questions
The executive search process begins with client intake. We consult with the client to develop and refine the position description and ideal candidate profile. In doing so, the search firm sets a search strategy in partnership with the client. Next, we build a list of target companies and identify potential candidates from those targets. We then recruit candidates, develops a slate of finalists, positions the offer, assists in closing the candidate, checks references, and stay in touch through onboarding.
The primary difference between a retained search and a contingency search is that a contingency search firm is only paid if it makes a placement. Contingency firms often conduct search assignments on a non-exclusive basis. And, with no guarantee of payment for services performed and no budget for research, contingency firms may abandon difficult searches and leave positions unfilled.
Retained search firms conduct search assignments on an exclusive, retainer contract basis only. Retained search firms are paid a retainer to do the work of executive search: consulting with the client about what qualities you need in an ideal candidate, identifying prospects, recruiting them, positioning offers, and helping close the candidate through onboarding. Often, retained search firms invest time in getting to know the client organization, position responsibility, and all requirements before initiating a search.
Consultx specializes in multi-unit or chain concepts. 90% of the companies we work with have Franchising as some part of their business model. The other 10% is a mix of Manufacturing, Financial Services and any Utah based Leadership positions. A lot of our diversity outside of chain concepts comes from our relationships with Private Equity Groups.
Consultx focuses on recruiting leadership across the entire United States. We are a Utah-based executive search firm that conducts searches in the Northeast, on the East Coast, the West Coast, and every place in between.
We typically work on C-level executive searches down to Director. We recruit to equivalent leadership levels such as General Managers, Managing Directors, and Managing Partners. At the end of the day, if your position is important to you it is important to us.
Consultx has a 99% success rate. We have been in business for 25+ years and have never failed to deliver interested, qualified candidates. Across the executive search industry, an average of 40% of all retained search engagements fail to complete. Traditional retained search firms lack the investigative research expertise and network we’ve developed to recruit the best and brightest executive candidates.
Most traditional retained search firms charge a fee ranging from 30-35% of the candidate’s first-year total cash compensation, including the base salary, signing bonus, and any other projected bonuses. The retainer portion can be as high as 33% of the estimated placement fee.
By contrast, our fees typically range from 25-30% of the first-year guaranteed compensation or salary only. Our retainer amounts range from $3500 to $7500 based on the level of the position.
Yes. We have an in house database of more than 30 thousand candidates that we continually update.

We still conduct fresh research for every engagement and tailor it to each client’s needs and preferences.

Our Process
1. Research
We start with a comprehensive analysis of the position's specifications, key performance indicators, and critical success factors. We also identify the best ways to present your company's attributes to the most qualified candidates, ensuring a strong alignment with your needs.
2. Recruiting
We take on the role of ambassadors for your company in the candidate marketplace, using both passive and active recruiting techniques. We develop a customized search plan and continue searching until the project is completed, committing to provide a certain number of qualified candidates within a set timeframe.
3. Screening
Every candidate undergoes a detailed screening process, where we discuss compensation expectations and assess their willingness to relocate if necessary. We act as your filter to ensure that the candidates we present possess the right skills, values, and personality to thrive within your organization.
4. Presentation
We present detailed evaluations of every candidate, ensuring that you are presented with 3-5 candidates who meet your qualifications within 15-30 days. We maintain regular communication with you throughout the search to keep you updated on progress, and we request your feedback to refine the search as necessary.
5. Interviews
We thoroughly prepare candidates for interviews, ensuring they understand the position, company culture, and the team they would be working with. We also provide insights into their motivations, interests, and potential concerns. After each step of the process, we gather feedback from both the candidate and client to manage expectations and keep the process moving smoothly.
6. Negotiations
Our goal is to ensure that the offer is exciting for the candidate while being realistic for the company. We help both parties navigate the negotiation process and manage expectations to avoid surprises. We also guide the candidate through the resignation process to ensure a smooth transition.
