Why Contingency Recruiting is Dying...And What’s Replacing It

What if working “for free” is the real reason your firm isn’t growing? In this episode of Talent Titans, we uncover the silent profit killer inside the recruitment industry and reveal the bold model replacing it.

There's a rising shift from contingency recruitment to contained search, a powerful hybrid model that demands client commitment and transforms agency profitability. Suky touches on how contingency recruiting quietly drains time, energy, and money from staffing businesses and why it's time to stop normalizing it. It's time to stop whispering about the hidden costs of working without a retainer and we're outlining the real benefits of contained search (like client respect, team motivation, and fewer but more profitable roles). This episode is a wake-up call for recruiters stuck in outdated models.
