Contingency Search

High Water Staffing works on an opportunistic basis. Meaning, we understand exactly what our clients do and what they are looking for. If we are not sure, we ask you.
We have a loyal candidate base that constantly refers relevant colleagues and friends, even if they are not the right fit or are currently content with their careers.

Retained Search

For more specialized roles or where discretion is paramount, a retained search may be more appropriate. By partnering with High Water Staffing on an exclusive basis our clients will gain several advantages:

  • In addition to the job description we will perform an in-depth interview with all hiring managers to ensure that any candidates presented will not only meet the skills required but also be the best cultural fit for that particular department or organization.
  • Each candidate will be thoroughly vetted and no candidate will be presented to more than one client at a time, giving you the best chance of securing the right professional for the job.
  • High-caliber executives and specialists are a scarce resource. By working with High Water Staffing on a retained basis it will provide a greater degree of professionalism that increases credibility with candidates, ensuring that only the best candidates will be selected.
