RETAINED SEARCH, TIERED TO YOUR NEEDS.
Delivered by:
Tiered retained search is an executive recruiting model that offers multiple service levels — from streamlined sourcing to full advisory partnership — so companies can match search intensity and investment to the seniority and complexity of each hire. Sinecure’s Tiered Retained Search gives companies full control over how they engage executive search support. Each tier (Core, High Service, and Premium) offers a distinct balance of quality, speed and value. Whether filling a senior role, building out a new function, or securing an essential leader, clients can select the level of rigor and advisory depth that fits their needs.
Every engagement combines AI-enabled market mapping with expert-led evaluation and hands-on candidate management. Fees are transparent and scaled to complexity rather than a one-size-fits-all model. This approach helps HR leaders and hiring managers align the right search intensity with each role and achieve precise, measurable outcomes at every stage of the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tiered retained search?
Tiered retained search is a flexible executive recruiting model where clients choose from multiple service levels based on the complexity and seniority of the role. Sinecure offers Core, High Service, and Premium tiers, each with different levels of research depth, candidate assessment, and advisory support.
How is tiered retained search different from traditional retained search?
Traditional retained search uses a one-size-fits-all pricing and service model. Sinecure’s tiered approach lets companies scale their investment to match the role — paying for streamlined sourcing on straightforward hires and reserving premium advisory services for complex, senior, or confidential searches.
What roles does Sinecure’s tiered retained search cover?
Sinecure’s tiered retained search covers roles from emerging senior leaders through C-suite executives across all functions and industries. Whether you are hiring a VP of Engineering, a Chief Financial Officer, or building out a new leadership team, the tiered model adapts to your needs across 25+ global markets.
