QUESTION:

HOW CAN ROGER FIEHN & ASSOCIATES HELP US KEEP OUR RECRUITING COSTS
UNDER CONTROL?

ANSWER:

Most "Headhunters" work on a contingency basis meaning they get paid only if they place a candidate. They typically must charge clients from 25% to 33% of the new employee’s first year compensation package (plus expenses) to absorb costs of the searches they don't place. Because Roger Fiehn & Associates works on a “retained” basis we can provide "Basic" professional recruiting services for a fee as low as 9% of the new executives estimated first year compensation (base, benefits and estimated incentives) package.

Or, if your situation is very complex and requires a "Turnkey" (full service) search our fee is a low 18% of the first employment year estimated compensation package (plus minimal search expenses) and can save you as much as 16% over fees charged by a "Headhunters".

QUESTION:

WHY DOESN'T ROGER FIEHN & ASSOCIATES CONDUCT"CONTINGENCY" SEARCHES?

ANSWER:

"Headhunters" have a tendency to introduce a great number of candidates (many of whom may be marginally qualified) to a client hoping that one of their candidates will be hired before the client hires a candidate presented by another "Headhunter" or locates a suitable candidate on their own.

Because the "Headhunter" has no assurance of recovering any of the substantial expenses incurred in implementing a thorough search he/she usually restricts the search to resumes already on file with little effort or expense invested in locating other candidates. This does not give you the advantage of a broad reach to all potential qualified candidates necessary to identify and attract the very best.

QUESTION:

HOW DO YOU PRICE YOUR SERVICES?

ANSWERS:

We design a recruiting program and price based on your urgency, extent of services requested and budgets. Most searches fall into the following categories:

"GENERAL EXECUTIVE SEARCH" This approach reaches candidates whose qualification fit your profile and uncovers unannounced candidates in the local, regional and national and/or international markets
and Includes:

Level One Reference checks as well as Computer Generated Behavioral Characteristic assessments to ensure the candidates "chemistry" is congruent with your company philosophies. Web site, e-mail, direct mail, fax and phone promotion of your job opportunity to industry insiders to identify candidates whose credentials closely match your requirements.

Preliminary screening of all resumes to narrow the field to only the most qualified candidates.

This very cost effective approach is designed for companies wishing to conduct their own detailed in-house screening, interviewing, and employment agreement finalization but to a limited field of candidates thus streamlining the recruiting process saving time and money. Our fee for a "General" Search is only 9% of the new executives first employment year estimated compensation package. A 4.5% retainer (minimum $4800. USD) is required to launch the search with balance (minimum $4800. USD) due upon a successful placement

"TURNKEY SEARCH" This approach encompasses a complete program of aggressive recruiting, screening, behavioral and technical competency evaluation, face-to-face interviewing and reference checks designed to isolate the top few candidates currently available in the marketplace for your evaluation and selection. All elements of the "General" search are utilized in addition to:

• In-depth candidate screening and credentials verification

• Face-to-face candidate evaluation with one of our professional interviewers to ensure candidate presents himself/herself in a manner consistent with your behavioral requirement

• Guidance in negotiating employment agreement including compensation package, benefit, and relocation issues

• Guarantee new executive for 90 days or replacement at no additional fee (expenses only)

Our fee for a "Turnkey" Search is only 18% of the new executives first employment year estimated compensation package. A 9% retainer (minimum $9800. USD) is required to launch the search with balance (minimum $9800. USD) paid upon a successful placement. Miscellaneous recruiting expenses incurred (normally 3% to 5% of the compensation package) are invoiced at NET and due monthly for the duration of the search.

Clients tell us that they have realized savings of 11% to 18% over most "Headhunter" fees for similar services in conducting a "Turnkey" search.

QUESTION:

IF WE ENTER INTO A RECRUITING AGREEMENT WITH ROGER FIEHN & ASSOCIATES, THEN DISCOVER THE RIGHT CANDIDATE ON OUR OWN OR THROUGH ANOTHER SOURCE, CAN WE EASILY TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT?

ANSWER:

Yes! Unlike many recruiting firms, we expect to be compensated only for work we have actually completed. If you locate the perfect candidate outside our services, just supply us with a copy of the new executives executed employment agreement. We will immediately stop all recruiting activities and issue a final invoice (if "Turnkey" search) for activities completed through the date notice is received. You will have no further obligation.

QUESTION:

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO LAUNCH OUR SEARCH?

ANSWERS:
