Retained & Contingency Search

Flexible Search,
Without Compromising on Precision

Kollective’s contingent and retained recruitment solutions are built for speed, depth, and alignment—matching the pace of your business without sacrificing quality.

Search That Moves

With You

When you're growing, you need a recruitment partner that’s as responsive as your roadmap. Kollective offers two core models—contingent and retained search—so you get the right level of support, at the right time, for the roles that matter most.

Both models are built on what makes our process different:
Relationships. Real feedback. Long-term thinking.

We match people to businesses where they’ll contribute, perform, and stay.
