$7,500 Retained Flat Fee Recruiting Case Study:

An internationally known company was looking for a Product Marketing expert to help expand their Chemical Software offerings. Given historical challenges filling this highly specialized role, the company turned to Reeve & Associates' $7,500 Retained Flat Fee service to help fill the position.

The job required a complete mastery of the 4 Ps and 4Cs of marketing while developing a pipeline of opportunities for the sales team. Essential skills included product strategy and management, channel marketing, and awareness-raising methods including pay-per-click (PPC), search engine optimization (SEO) and direct marketing. The candidate must also have deep familiarity with the chemicals industry including a rolodex of industry contacts.

During the first month, Reeve & Associates identified and contacted nearly 400 qualified marketing professionals, speaking with nearly one hundred. During the process, four exceptional candidates were forwarded to the hiring manager, resulting in four interviews and one offer in 62 days -- which was accepted.

Based upon a salary of $140,000, the company paid only $7,500 to fill their product marketing position using the Retained Flat Fee service, saving $27,500 over a conventional 25% contingency fee search.

"This was, without a doubt, a challenging search; it required deep industry knowledge and hands-on marketing expertise. We are glad we turned to Reeve & Associates as the position was filled in just over two months, and every presented candidate was fully qualified for the job. We can't thank Reeve & Associates enough for their expertise."
