Our Recruitment Models
Every company’s hiring needs are different, so we’ve designed three flexible recruitment models — all built on the same collaborative approach. Whether you need support with a single vacancy, a retained search for a critical hire, or a dedicated talent acquisition partner, each model gives you the expertise, transparency, and results Mase Consulting is known for.
Retingency Recruitment
- Consultative and collaborative approach
- Proactive sourcing of active and passive candidates
- Market mapping and headhunting services
- Dedicated account manager

This is a flexible, non-committal way to work with us. It combines the consultative approach and headhunting of a retained partnership, but with the pay-on-success model of contingency recruitment, meaning you only pay when a placement has been made.
Ideal for employers who want to fill a role, but aren’t ready to commit to a full retained partnership. Whilst this does not include some of the added features and benefits of our other recruitment models, it still provides you with access to our expertise, extensive network and tailored approach.
Retained Recruitment
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.

A staged payment model, led by our recruitment director, that secures dedicated support for your role. The total fee is split into three equal instalments, one-third to initiate our services, one-third on CV shortlist, and the final one-third upon offer acceptance. Should the chosen candidate fail to start the final one-third would be refunded.
Ready-to-go Talent Acquisition Team
Everything in our Retingency Model, plus:
- Candidate Behavioural Assessments for final-stage candidates
- Salary Benchmarking
- Higher discounts on recruitment fees applied
- Personally led by our Recruitment Director, who has over 24 years of success delivering niche and challenging hiring assignments.
- Dedicated recruiter(s) working exclusively and solely on your hiring projects
- Weekly activity reports and progress updates
Read More
We act as an extension of your internal talent acquisition team, supporting you through periods of planned or unexpected recruitment demand.
Our time is booked and paid for in six-week increments, during which we allocate dedicated internal resources, including team members who work solely and exclusively on your hiring needs.
Recruitment fees are paid in addition on any successful hires; however these are heavily discounted compared with our standard terms, and you’ll receive detailed weekly activity reports showing the number of CVs reviewed, candidates contacted, interviewed, and submitted. This partnership can be extended, allowing us to continue covering multiple roles in line with your priorities.
Ideal for businesses in periods of high growth, but without the time or budget to increase their own internal hiring team.
