Engagement models

We work both retained and contingency. Retained engagements get prioritized recruiter capacity, exclusivity, written milestones, and a phased fee structure — appropriate for strategically critical or hard-to-recruit roles. Contingency engagements have no upfront fee and full placement fee due only on signed acceptance — appropriate for broadly competitive primary-care or hospitalist roles. See permanent placement for the full process or locum tenens for short-term coverage.
