Retained Search

Retained search is our premier service and guarantees delivery on a search.

Retained searches are typically used when a search is:

• Confidential in the case of replacing an incumbent or a new business area.
• A senior level search where the client expects the search to be conducted in a professional and timely manner with leveraged market expertise.
• A thorough market search (competitor candidates, headcount, revenues etc.) requiring a dedicated consultant where research and market intelligence reports are expected.
• Streamlined and process driven with regular reports.
• For new business entering Japan that doesn’t want or has yet to establish a HR function.

Our consultants in the past have worked successfully on a number of retained searches, delivering 100% of the time.

Other Search Options

Contingent

A contingent search is a process whereby Ascent Global Partners is remunerated upon the successful completion of a search assignment. This style of search doesn’t bind Ascent Global Partners’ consultants to successfully completing the mandate however we approach these searches with the same attitude and commitment that can be found throughout all facets of our work. Ascent Global Partners’ consultants have completed hundreds of these assignments in the past.

Office Build-Out

This strategy is structured towards emergent clients who don’t typically have a HR presence on the ground and wish to establish or expand their business in Japan. With this type of search we typically work on a retained or exclusive basis with our clients. Ascent Global Partners has years of experience helping clients to build their businesses in Japan.

Exclusive Search

An exclusive search enables us to work for an agreed period with a client during which time we present as many relevant candidates for a search as possible. This time is usually 4-8 weeks after which period the client is entitled to redefine the search criteria or open the search up to other channels. An exclusive assignment represents a strong commitment from our clients and Ascent Global Partners’ effort and assured service reflect this.
