Professional fees for our services are based on 28% of the first year's cash compensation package (e.g. base salary, target incentive bonus, and signing bonus).

Direct expenses are billed separately. All consultant and candidate travel expenses are fully reimbursable, by the client, billed at cost, and pro­rated whenever possible, plus any applicable taxes. All other expenses will be billed at cost.

Fees are billed on an equal installment basis over the first three months of the search. The first invoice is submitted as a non-refundable retainer when the assignment begins. Actual consultant/candidate and support expenses are billed each month as they are incurred.

Either party may discontinue the assignment by written notification at any time. If this occurs, the client will be billed for (i) expenses incurred to the date of our receipt of your written notification; (ii) expenses committed with approval that cannot be canceled; and (iii) payment for the prorated portion of the remaining professional fees, based upon the number of calendar days that have elapsed. The first billing is a minimum retainer and thus, is non-refundable even if a cancellation occurs within 30 days of client acceptance of this proposal. If a cancellation occurs after 90 days, all professionals fees have been earned and are payable in full.
