Retained Search

RETAINED: Offers complete, full-service searches with a dedicated project team assigned to your search until it is complete. Our retained search option is used at executive levels where there is a critical high level need that must be filled in a short period of time.

Fee is based on first years compensation to include base salary, bonuses and commissions:

1/3 due upon signing of the Fee Agreement to start the search
1/3 due 30 days after start of search
1/3 due on date the candidate begins the service relationship with you
Additional value added services available FOR all final candidates WHICH WILL HELP DETERMINE IF

THE CANDIDATE IS A CULTURAL FIT FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

THIS IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE option but requires great focus, cooperation and partnership to assure success. Travel, hotel and meal expenses to personally interview the candidates or visit your corporate facilities for free consultation are at an additional charge.

Guarantees & Liabilities.

Executive Search is a management consulting activity that may or may not result in the hiring of an executive. Therefore, it is misleading to guarantee that a position will be filled as the inevitable conclusion of an executive search consulting assignment. At the same time, it is appropriate that SEAN LYONS Hospitality Executive Search does commit to introduce to its client a minimum of three to five qualified candidates for consideration on each assignment. We will conduct initial reference checks, verify academic credentials, and, to the best of our ability, confirm all factual statements regarding the candidate’s history and record of accomplishments.

In addition, it is appropriate for the client to understand the firm’s policy about unusual situations. For example:

If a candidate leaves their new position as a result of involuntary termination within a period of one year, SEAN LYONS Hospitality Executive Search will restart and execute a replacement search, charging applicable out-of-pocket expenses only.
We work to completion on each search, unless mid-course changes are judged to be so significant that, in reality, a brand new search has been initiated. Billing and expense adjustments may be justified at that time.

We observe the laws in force relating to employment in each of the countries and jurisdictions in which we work. SEAN LYONS Hospitality Executive Search refers quality candidates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, age, national origin, or disability.
