Search Options Custom Built for Your Hiring Needs
Every search is different. Factors such as role complexity, confidentiality, and timelines help determine the best path forward. Horizon Hospitality offers three structured search models designed to support a wide range of leadership hiring needs.
Retained Search
Our Retained Search is our most comprehensive solution. It delivers a dedicated and exclusive partnership, a structured search process, and the highest level of candidate access and support.
Highlights:
- Clear search plan: A defined timeline with scheduled deliverables from kickoff through accepted offer.
- Position marketing: A custom search brochure that promotes your culture and drives interest from top talent.
- Enhanced screening: Detailed reference checks, background verification, credential review, and behavioral assessment.
- Extended protection: Up to a one-year replacement search guarantee to ensure your long-term success.
Retained Search is ideal for confidential, high-impact, or hard-to-fill leadership roles.
Contained Search
Our Contained Search combines internal hiring efforts with Horizon Hospitality’s expertise. It provides structured support without the full investment of a retained model.
Highlights:
- Start-to-finish support: Guidance throughout the process, including reference checks and offer support.
- Protected investment: A replacement search at no additional cost within the guarantee period.
- Flexible fees: A modest engagement fee, with the remaining fee due only if you hire through Horizon Hospitality.
Contained Search is well-suited for companies seeking added recruitment support with reduced financial risk.
Contingent Search
Although typically not a recommended option for most leadership or specialized searches, Horizon offers the flexibility of a Contingent Search under unique circumstances.
Highlights:
- No Upfront Fee: Fees are paid only upon a successful placement.
- Exclusive Partnership: Horizon must be the only search partner for a brief timeframe to ensure quality control.
- Candidate Quality Assurance: All candidates are thoroughly vetted and interviewed based on the client's criteria.
This approach allows clients to leverage Horizon’s extensive network and recruiting expertise while maintaining a results-based payment structure.
