What is Contingency Recruiting?

A recruitment model where an external agency is paid only when they successfully place a candidate who is hired by the client organization.

Why it matters in hiring

Contingency Recruiting comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
