A search type defines what the recruiter will do to find a candidate and what agreement you have in place. We have two search types on Sourcr, exclusive and network search.
With an exclusive search, you engage one recruiter to work on the role. Your recruitment partner will spend time learning about you and your business, and then conduct a thorough search of the market. You still only pay should you make a successful hire.
With a network search, you can engage multiple recruiters to source candidates. You only pay a fee to the recruiter that successfully hires the candidate. The recruiters will take a job brief and reach out to candidates in their immediate network. They won't conduct a thorough search of the market as it does not make commercial sense to do so.
For most roles we recommend using the exclusive search option. For some of the more junior roles, it may be suitable to use the network search. The Sourcr account managers are here to help if you're unsure which option to use.
