Recruiting Sales Proposal Templates

Overview

Prepared for client name by your name at firm name. This proposal covers a contingency search to fill your open role title, with a fee owed only when you hire a candidate we introduce.

Scope and roles

• Intake call to define the scorecard, must-have skills, and pay band.
• Sourcing, screening, and a shortlist of qualified candidates for role title.
• Interview coordination, reference checks, and offer support.

Fees and guarantee

Our contingency fee is fee percent of first-year base salary, invoiced on the candidate's start date. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee: if the hire leaves within the covered period, we refill the role at no additional fee.

Timeline and next step

We typically present a first shortlist within two weeks of a signed intake. The next step is to approve this scope so we can begin sourcing.

Scope and roles

• A committed search team assigned solely to your mandate.
• Market mapping, targeted headhunting, and a calibrated candidate slate.
• Structured assessment, references, and close support through offer.

Fees and staging

The engagement fee is billed in three stages: a retainer of retainer amount to begin, a payment at shortlist, and the balance on placement. This alignment funds a proactive, exclusive search rather than a race to submit resumes.

Timeline and next step

A retained search usually runs six to ten weeks with weekly progress updates. The next step is to countersign this engagement so we can launch the market map.
