Customized Searches


We believe the key to executive recruiting success is a strategic partnership based on trust, integrity and a superior level of service.

Retained Searches

As a general practice, our searches are retained. Retained searches begin with an agreement which outlines each party’s participation in the search process. This type of search guarantees our clients the full resources of Gillham, Golbeck & Associates to successfully meet their requirements. It also guarantees our work. The retained contract ensures the replacement of a candidate or the adjustment of a fee, when necessary due to particular circumstances.

We work with each individual client to establish a fee schedule based on criteria established at the initiation of the search. One-third of the fee is paid when the search is started, with the remaining two-thirds due when the chosen candidate starts work. The retained agreement also states that the client will work only with our firm for a particular search or for an agreed upon period, thus ensuring the confidentiality and effectiveness of the search.

Flexible, Performance-Driven Searches

We can also tailor our services to the complexity of each executive search assignment and to the degree of
assistance requested.  On occasion, we can offer a candidate immediately which does not require a large-scale
search.  In these cases, the payment terms may be modified.

We establish long-term relationships with the companies we serve:
Over 90% of our searches are repeat business.
