Contingency Search:

These searches are paid at the conclusion of the search assignment - the fees are "contingent upon" the successful placement of a professional in a position. The annual base salary typically starts at $30,000 and peaks at about $75,000. This option is ideal for the bulk of lower- to middle-management assignments.
