Contract staffing
Contract Staffing –
the right contract employees for you
Our dedicated staffing team will find the right contract employees for you, whether it’s for a temporary, short, or long-term assignment. We prioritize the qualities that are most important for you in a candidate and find them for you quickly and efficiently.
Contingency Search
Contingency Search –
The Easiest option for an Employer
Let us prove to you what we can do with our contingency search model. A Contingency Search, our most common search selection, is chosen when it makes sense for the client to pay when the new hire is on board rather than at the beginning of the search process. Bring us your open positions and we’ll show you the Frontline difference before you owe us anything.
Engaged Search
Engaged Search –
contingency and retained methods combined
Get the best of both worlds with engaged search, blending our contingency and retained search methods. Pay a portion up front, and pay the rest when you’ve hired the candidate of your dreams. This hybrid model might be exactly what you’re looking for to solve your hiring needs. An engaged search is a variation of the retained search model and, in some ways, is a combination of the retained search and the contingent search. A portion of the fee is paid upfront ensuring a commitment on the part of the recruiter with the remainder paid upon the talent accepting a position with the client. This model is most effective for filling critical Mid-level manager positions or for smaller clients for whom a retained search is not cost effective. It helps to ensure a dedicated effort to fill the position with the best talent in a timely manner.
Retained Search
Retained Search –
The unmatched care of our trusted experts
Your most important hires deserve the attention of our dedicated team of search experts. Organized by vertical, our experts have years of search experience in their field to understand your needs and exceed your expectations. Lock us down up front and watch us go to work on your behalf. A retained search represents the ultimate partnership in identifying and attracting the most qualified candidates for a high level or very specialized position. Typically, it also makes sense when there is high need for confidentiality. A retained search is appropriate when the need is urgent, the hire will have a significant impact on company performance or new needs develop that must be addressed quickly. This search model entails an upfront retainer fee for services provided with remaining payments made when key milestones are reached. In a retained search, the dedicated search consultant is committed to the client throughout the search process and acts as a consultant in finding exactly the right person for the position. This model is most effective for high level executive positions and/or hard to find talent where a specific and exceptional skill-set is required.

Frequently Asked Questions: Frontline Source Group Staffing and Executive Search Services
What staffing services does Frontline Source Group offer?
Frontline Source Group offers five staffing engagement models: candidate sourcing, contract staffing, contingency search, engaged search, and retained search. Direct hire placements through any of these models are backed by the 5-Year Placement Warranty. Services span 17 plus professional and executive disciplines nationwide.
What is the difference between contingency search and retained search?
Contingency search is pay-on-placement, meaning the employer pays the placement fee only when the candidate is hired. Retained search includes an upfront retainer with payments tied to search milestones and reserves a dedicated search consultant. Contingency is most common for standard professional hires; retained is most effective for high-level executive positions, confidential searches, and hard-to-find specialized talent.
What is engaged search?
Engaged search combines elements of contingency and retained methods. The employer commits a portion of the fee upfront, securing the recruiter's dedicated effort, with the balance paid upon hire. Engaged search is most effective for critical mid-level manager positions and for smaller employers for whom a full retained search is not cost effective.
What is candidate sourcing as a service?
Candidate sourcing is a subscription-based service for organizations with an internal recruiting function that need additional pipeline reach. Frontline researches, identifies, and presents qualified candidates without the cost of a full contingency or retained engagement. It is the right fit when the budget for full recruiting services is not available but the team still needs warm leads to evaluate.
What is contract staffing?
Contract staffing places professionals for temporary, short-term, or long-term project assignments. Engagements are billed at an hourly rate that covers candidate wages, payroll taxes, insurance, and recruiting margin. Contract engagements also include a four-hour replacement provision on day one. Restrictions apply.
What is the 5-Year Placement Warranty?
The 5-Year Placement Warranty is Frontline Source Group's direct hire placement warranty, 20 times the standard 90-day industry guarantee. If a direct hire ends under the terms of the agreement within the warranty period, Frontline replaces the role. Restrictions apply. Full terms are published at the firm's 5-Year Placement Warranty page.
