Thrive Recruitment’s Preferred Search Model

At Thrive Recruitment, our retained search model offers the perfect blend of the personalized, in-depth strategy of a retained search with the cost-effectiveness and speed of a contingency search. This approach is particularly suited for filling complex individual contributor roles, niche positions, and leadership roles up to the Director level, ensuring you secure exceptional candidates tailored to your needs.

"Melanie has always made sure to understand the roles and who the ideal candidates were that we needed. I was always kept in the loop during the process and provided with exceptional candidates. Having worked with many recruiters over my career, I continue to come back to Melanie for that boutique service and continue to have my expectations exceeded."
