Answer
How much does executive search cost?
It depends on the engagement. Contingency searches are typically a percentage of the hire's first-year compensation, due only when they start. Retained executive searches are a structured fee paid in stages from kickoff to placement. The investment scales with the seniority and difficulty of the seat, and a clear proposal spells it out before any commitment.
What actually shapes the number is how you commit and how hard the seat is to fill, not a sticker price. A confidential, fully retained executive search is resourced differently from a single contingency role, and the fee reflects that.
Bloom backs placements with tiered 45, 90, and 365-day guarantees and a 90%+ one-year retention track record, so the fee buys a hire who stays, not just a hire who starts. You see the model that fits the seat before any commitment, with no hidden add-ons.
