search options


Iopa Solutions offers a retained and contingency based search option, depending on a clients specific needs. Below is a description of each option and the relative benefits each method presents.

Contingency Search

Our contingency search involves client fees being settled once a successful candidate has been found and signed contracts with the new company. This type of search is suitable for clients who may wish to use multiple agencies for a specific role and are happy for candidates that we represent to be put forward for other clients we work with. The candidates we represent through a contingency assignment are still subject to our rigorous screening process and applicable to their specific requirements.

The advantages of a contingency search to yourself is that you are not committing to Iopa Solutions financially and are spreading your risk by using other agencies.

Retained Search

Our retained search involves payment of half the client fee upon search commencement after the job qualification has taken place, and the remaining half upon successful placement of candidates. The advantage of a retained search is that all candidates in this case will not be represented with other companies that Iopa Solutions conducts business with. Iopa Solutions also prioritises Retained assignments working to a strictly agreed timeline that is agreed with clients beforehand.

Retained assignments are advantageous for highly urgent roles where you would prefer Iopa Solutions to prioritise your work or in situations where clients would prefer single representation towards the market.
