Retainer Search

MICA’s exclusive retainer search approach is consultative and solution oriented. Typically appropriate for executive-level searches and hard-to-find talent when an exceptional skillset is needed, we focus on finding the best possible leadership candidates who will drive your organization’s growth.

We continuously leverage our in-depth industry knowledge and deep leadership candidate networks, including passive candidates (leading industry candidates who are not actively looking), to bring you the best possible range of uniquely-talented prospects who are engaged and interested. Our proactive focus on candidate quality combined with cultural fit consistently leads to strong leadership hires and high retention rates.

Container Search

MICA’s container search approach is a hybrid of our retainer and contingency search services, and answers both your sense of urgency and your need for cost efficiency. As you prioritize your hiring needs, our container search option makes sense when your high-priority searches are taking too long, the market is highly competitive, you are seeking passive candidates, and/or the positions you are trying to fill are more complex or niche.
Director-level roles typically fall within this category. With our container approach, MICA ensures the commitment of an expert team and resources that are dedicated exclusively to finding candidates with your desired expertise and cultural fit.

Contingency Search

MICA’s contingency pay-per-hire search option brings speed—the perfect approach for mid-level roles. We leverage our broad candidate networks and invest heavily in advertising to attract the largest possible number of qualified candidates who meet your search criteria. MICA conducts the initial screening process, presents the candidate profiles, and then manages the entire interview process between the candidates and your hiring team, including the job offer and negotiation.

Talent Pipelining

This is proactive, relationship-centric recruiting. Beyond your current open roles, you are also likely preparing for future opportunities within your organization. The key advantages of MICA’s talent pipelining approach are reduced time-to-hire, reduced cost-per-hire, and better quality candidates.
As your recruiting partner, MICA will build a pipeline of vetted, engaged, and interested talent that you can leverage
as soon as new roles open up.

External Talent Mapping

MICA’s approach to external talent mapping presents a cost-efficient method to proactively build a broad pool of prospective candidates based on your specified attributes and skillset parameters. Because these candidates have not yet been contacted and vetted, the quicker turnaround time for MICA to deliver an initial candidate pool makes this a viable solution to align with your organization’s near- and long-term
talent acquisition plan.
