Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two types of executive recruiters?

The two main types are retained executive recruiters and contingency executive recruiters. Retained search firms are typically engaged for confidential, high-stakes, or C-level roles and work as dedicated partners throughout the process. Contingency recruiters are usually paid only when a hire is made and are more common for broader permanent hiring needs. For fintech leadership hiring, retained-style search is often preferred because it allows for deeper market mapping, discreet outreach, and a more rigorous assessment process.
