Performance Based Executive Search

Having evaluated the shortcomings of traditional retained executive search firms, namely getting a commitment from companies for the total cost of the search with no guarantee of success, Cleary Consultants, Inc. has customized our retained search process specifically around our clients’ needs. We did so by creating a “performance-based executive search.” Our solution is simple and straightforward. We provide our clients with a payment plan. One third of the fee is due upon initiation of the search, with the second payment due after you have interviewed candidates that you have selected from the ones we have profiled to you. The third and final payment is due ten days after the candidate accepts the offer of employment. The final two payments are performance-based. We give individual attention and top priority to each search until the search is successful.

The majority of executive search firms will only take on assignments with compensation plans upwards of $200,000, but we understand that there are other critical searches that require results. In response to that need, Cleary Consultants will engage in any critical need search, regardless of the salary. This has proven invaluable to a number of high growth organizations that can’t leave critical hires to chance.

The bottom line is that no two companies are identical, and neither are their search criteria. Cleary Consultants realizes that and has created viable alternatives to traditional retained search that gives our clients the flexibility and the commitment from us that they need. The benefit of this arrangement is that you have our full and exclusive attention. The other advantage is when we are making our recruiting calls we make your opportunity stand out from others. We always inform our candidates that we have been retained by our client company. This perception gives the candidates the comfort of knowing that it is a critical position with the firm that has confidence of our firm and that they are serious in finding the best person that is doing, not looking. We consistently leverage our knowledge, extensive executive networks, and niche expertise to the fullest extent. The results are superior candidates who when hired, have an immediate impact on your company.

  • "I was a franchise owner for many years wearing many hats. Based on the effects and setbacks of COVID, I was forced to shut down my business. Upon my search for a new opportunity, I was recommended to and had the pleasure of working directly with Mary Cleary who was able to provide valuable advice and strategy. She found me the perfect fit with a successful family business that allowed me the freedom and creativity to work for an established company without the headaches that go with running your own business. Since then I have recommended this exceptional firm to other business associates."
