How Ryan Sheppard Got a Client to Agree to a 40% Fee #RetainedSearch #RecruiterTips

Knowing your market can justify charging a premium.

Ryan Sheppard shares how he priced his first retained search at 40%—higher than the usual 35% contingency fee—because he knew exactly how difficult the search would be.

He understood the competitors.
He knew the Japanese market.
He had followed the space for a decade.
And he knew what it would take to deliver an exceptional result.

The client did not push back on the fee because the expertise was obvious.

Price becomes a very different conversation when the client can clearly see the depth of value behind it.
