Recruiting placement (retention-guaranteed)

Agency is paid a placement fee when a hire is made, with a clawback if the hire leaves within the guarantee window.

When to use this

Use for contingent or retained search where you want the agency paid on a real, sticky hire — not just a signed offer. Typical fee 15–25% of first-year base; guarantee window 60–120 days with full or pro-rated clawback.
