The Contingency Model: Performance-Driven Results

Our contingency search model is built entirely on performance. You only pay a fee when we successfully place the right candidate in your organization. This approach offers a low-risk, high-efficiency solution for filling critical mid-to-senior level roles rapidly.

Zero Upfront Cost: No financial obligation until our candidate accepts your offer.

Speed to Market: Active network leverage delivers qualified profiles within days.

Professional Screening: Our understaning of your EMS requirments goes beyond job descriptions. We understand the culture and nature of the different industry sectors and cultures. The perfect person in a Defense Contractor will fail in most EMS high speed environments. An EMS Business Development Manager must have a strong knowledge of pcba as well as the industry sector they focus on, medical, defense, automotive, data centers. Some salespeople thrive in transactional sales environments, distribution for example, but don't thrive in the lengthy and complex RFQ cycle of OEMs outsourcing.
