No. Our standard Exclusive Search service is success-only, with no upfront recruitment fee. If a particularly senior or complex assignment would benefit from a retained approach, we will discuss that separately before you commit.

Yes. Exclusivity normally means appointing Cure Talent as your sole external agency for the agreed role or roles. Your internal team can continue its own activity, with a coordinated approach to candidates and communication agreed at the start.

Yes. We can coordinate multiple exclusive searches, prioritise the roles and plan delivery around your team. Preferential pricing may be available for an agreed programme of vacancies. If you expect ongoing recruitment throughout the year, Hiring Partnership may be a better fit.

We agree the brief, selection criteria and timetable, then research and engage relevant candidates. We assess their experience, give them information about the opportunity and follow up on their interest and questions. Once the shortlist is ready, we present candidate profiles together and support interviews, feedback, offers and onboarding.

We aim to present a strong shortlist within five working days of an agreed brief. Where the role requires a deeper search or additional candidate conversations, we agree a realistic timetable upfront. Speed matters, alongside giving you and the candidates enough information to make a sound decision.

Profiles explain relevant experience, how it relates to your requirements, the candidate's reasons for considering a move, and practical details such as salary expectations and availability. We also highlight areas to explore at interview so your conversations can focus on what matters.

A clear brief, access to the relevant hiring decision-makers and timely feedback make a significant difference. We will help you structure the interview process and agree responsibilities so the search keeps moving and candidates remain informed.

We agree an initial search period, review points and a clear route to end exclusivity if the approach is not meeting your needs. These arrangements are documented before the search begins, so both sides know what to expect.

Exclusive assignments attract preferential fees and extended rebate or replacement protection compared with our standard non-exclusive service. We agree the details around the role, the level of commitment and your hiring plans before starting work.
