The departure of a top auditor isn't just a vacancy to fill; it's a brain drain of institutional knowledge, risk expertise and future leadership. The Great Resignation highlighted the issue, but the underlying causes have been simmering for years.
At Leonid, through our daily conversations with top audit talent, we see four primary reasons your best people are leaving. In this article, we explore those reasons - and advise on what you can do to keep them.
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">The four root causes of auditor attrition</h5>
&nbsp;
1. The Burnout Spiral: doing more with less
Modern internal audit is relentless. The audit plan is more complex, encompassing everything from cloud security to supply chain ethics. Regulatory pressures are intensifying, and teams are often expected to manage this expanded scope without a proportional increase in headcount. Top auditors, who are naturally diligent and conscientious, bear the brunt of this. They are stuck in a cycle of perpetual audit cycles, working long hours on manual data wrangling, and suffering from "assurance fatigue." The work becomes a grind, and the passion for problem-solving that drew them to the role is extinguished.
&nbsp;
2. The "Poaching" Problem: a testament to their value
This is the ultimate double-edged sword. Your best auditors possess a unique and highly coveted skillset: they understand your business processes, can assess risk objectively and communicate complex issues effectively. The business units&nbsp;know this. It&rsquo;s no surprise that Finance, Operations and Compliance actively headhunt these individuals. A move to a business role often comes with a clearer impact on the P&amp;L, a perceived step-up in influence, and frequently, a significant salary increase. When the only path for growth appears to be&nbsp;out&nbsp;of audit, you&rsquo;re fighting a losing battle.
&nbsp;
3. The Career Ladder that leads to a cliff
Many IA functions have a flat structure: Staff, Senior, Manager, Chief Audit Executive. The jump from Manager to CAE is a massive one, requiring not just technical skill but immense political capital and leadership experience. For a high-potential senior manager, waiting 5-10 years for the CAE to retire is not a career plan - it's a career prison! Without a visible and achievable progression path&nbsp;within&nbsp;the function, ambition alone will push your best people to seek opportunities elsewhere.
&nbsp;
4. The Perception Gap: being seen as a policeman, not a partner
Despite the rhetoric, many organisations still treat internal audit as a "necessary evil"; a group of compliance police who exist to find fault. When auditors feel their strategic insights are ignored or their reports are shelved, morale plummets. This perception gap is deeply demotivating for professionals who want to add value and help the business succeed. If they&rsquo;re not treated as strategic partners, they will find an organisation that will.
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">The Retention Playbook: how to keep your top talent</h5>
Understanding the "why" is only half the battle. Here is our four-part playbook for retaining your star auditors.
&nbsp;
1. Combat burnout with technology and focus.
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Invest in Tools, not just talent: Liberate your team from manual tasks. Invest in and train your team on Data Analytics (DA) tools, Process Mining, and AI. This reduces grunt work, makes audits more impactful and upskills your team simultaneously.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Ruthlessly prioritise:&nbsp;Work with the Audit Committee to ensure the audit plan is dynamic and risk-based. Be willing to defer or descope low-risk audits to focus resources on the areas that truly matter. Empower your team to do deep, meaningful work, not just more work.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
2. Lean into the "Feeder Pool" mentality, strategically.
You can't stop the business from wanting your talent, but you can control the narrative.
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Create Formal Rotation Programs:&nbsp;Instead of losing your best people, loan them. Establish a formal program where high-potential auditors can spend 6-12 months on a secondment in a business unit like Finance, Strategy, or Cybersecurity. They gain invaluable experience and return to IA with a deeper business understanding. This makes IA a destination for those seeking broad exposure.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Celebrate "Alumni" Success:&nbsp;Track and celebrate the careers of former auditors who have moved into successful roles within the company. This positions IA as the premier leadership development program within your organization, actually helping you&nbsp;attract&nbsp;ambitious talent.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
3. Redefine the career ladder.
Growth doesn't always have to be a straight vertical climb.
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Create specialist tracks: Not every senior auditor wants to be a people manager. Create parallel career paths for technical specialists (e.g. "Director of IT Audit," "Head of Data Analytics for IA") with appropriate compensation and prestige. This allows experts to grow in influence without leaving their domain.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Expand horizontally:&nbsp;Provide opportunities for auditors to lead audits in new and emerging risk areas (e.g., ESG, Third-Party Risk, Digital Transformation). This keeps the work intellectually stimulating and builds a more versatile and resilient team.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
4. Close the perception gap with influence and impact.
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Measure and broadcast value:&nbsp;Shift the metric from "number of audits completed" to "risk mitigated" and "value added." Quantify how an audit finding saved the company money, avoided a compliance fine, or improved a process. Share these success stories with senior leadership and the board.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Empower your CAE as a strategic voice: The number one thing an organisation can do is ensure the CAE has a direct, respected line to the CEO and the Audit Committee. When the function is valued at the top, that reputation filters down, and every auditor feels the increased respect and influence.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">The Bottom Line</h5>
Your best auditors are leaving because they have options. They are sought-after professionals who crave impact, growth and respect. The organisations that win the war for audit talent won't do so by accident. They will be the ones who intentionally design their IA function to be a dynamic, technology-enabled hub for leadership development and strategic insight.
By implementing these strategies, you can stop being a training ground for other departments and start being a magnet for the top-tier talent that will safeguard and guide your company's future.

4 reasons why your best auditors are leaving (and how to keep them)

Internal auditors are the unsung heroes of the corporate governance world. As a recruitment agency specialising in internal audit roles, we&rsquo;ve engaged in thousands of conversations with professionals in this space, from newly qualified candidates to seasoned Heads of Audit. Through these discussions, one thing is clear: great internal auditors are critical thinkers, business partners and quietly ambitious professionals who thrive on making a difference.
Here are some of the insights we regularly encounter in our conversations with internal audit professionals about what really excites them in their careers.
&nbsp;
1. Curiosity
One of the most consistent traits we've seen is&nbsp;insatiable curiosity. Internal auditors love asking "why?" and "what if?"; not to question for the sake of questioning, but to understand how things work and where risks might hide. They enjoy digging into the details and uncovering root causes, not just symptoms.
&ldquo;Every audit is like a puzzle. You&rsquo;re looking for what doesn&rsquo;t quite fit, and I embrace that challenge,&rdquo; one candidate told us.
&nbsp;
2. A sense of purpose
While many roles focus on driving growth or increasing revenue, internal auditors are driven by impact through integrity. Many professionals say they feel a genuine sense of duty to protect their organisation, its finances, its reputation - and its people.
&ldquo;My job is to be a second set of eyes for leadership. I take that seriously.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&rsquo;s about protecting the business and doing what&rsquo;s right.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
3. Continuous learning
Audit professionals rarely stay still. Many are drawn to the field because of its exposure to all areas of the business. From operations and IT to finance and compliance, they love that their work constantly challenges them to learn and evolve.
&nbsp;
We often hear:
&ldquo;The variety is what I love. No two audits are the same, and every project sharpens a different skill set.&rdquo;
This mindset is reflected in the number of auditors pursuing professional development, whether it&rsquo;s a&nbsp;CIA, CISA, or data analytics courses.
&nbsp;
4. Adding clear business value
Forget the outdated stereotype of auditors as "the police." Today's internal auditors are strategic thinkers who want to add value, not just point out what&rsquo;s wrong.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not about writing a report and moving on; I want to help teams implement sustainable improvements,&rdquo; said a senior internal auditor we placed recently.
The most successful candidates are those who see their role as collaborative: working with stakeholders, not against them.
&nbsp;
5. Balancing ethics with commercial ambition
Ethics is non-negotiable in audit, but what sets great auditors apart is the ability to balance integrity with business acumen. Candidates tell us they don&rsquo;t want to just say &ldquo;no&rdquo;, they want to offer better alternatives and practical solutions.
&nbsp;
6. The right kind of pressure
Let&rsquo;s be honest: internal audit isn&rsquo;t always easy. Tight deadlines, shifting priorities, and sometimes tough conversations are part of the job. But many candidates say they thrive under this kind of pressure, especially when they&rsquo;re in an environment that respects their role.
&ldquo;Being challenged keeps me sharp. I like knowing that what I do matters, even if I&rsquo;m not always the most popular person in the room.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Final Thoughts
What makes internal auditors tick? It&rsquo;s a blend of curiosity, ethics, resilience and the desire to make a meaningful impact. For employers, understanding what motivates these professionals can help you attract and retain the best talent. For auditors, it&rsquo;s a reminder that your mindset and values are not just suited to audit, they&rsquo;re essential for success.

What makes Internal Auditors tick? 6 key insights from candidate interviews

As businesses become more complex and regulatory oversight continues to tighten, internal auditors are without a doubt more valuable than ever. Salaries are rising to reflect this shift.&nbsp; However, they do vary widely depending on geography, level, specialisation and industry sector. 
We&rsquo;ll take a quick look at what internal auditors are earning in 2025 in the USA versus key European markets, plus the drivers behind the differences - and what both employers and audit professionals should watch out for.
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">USA: What Internal Auditors Can Expect</h5>
Using recent data from our own placements at Leonid and external market reports, here are typical salary ranges in the U.S. for internal auditors, by level:

</table>
&nbsp;
*These are approximate base salary ranges and do not include bonuses, equity, or additional benefits, which can significantly affect total compensation.
&nbsp;
Leonid&rsquo;s observations:
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal">In high cost-of-living / high demand areas (e.g. New York, California), salaries unsurprisingly tend toward the upper ends of the ranges. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Firms in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, energy) often offer premiums (bonus, better benefits) when specific regulatory or technical expertise is required.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">The gap between junior and senior levels is widening, especially for auditors with in-demand, specific skills (e.g. IT audit, data analytics, cybersecurity). </li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Europe: What the Market Looks Like
Europe is more fragmented: differences in cost of living, tax regimes, regulation, and even sector maturity mean there&rsquo;s a broader spread. Below are UK benchmarks (often used as a proxy for many Western European markets), plus some observations applicable more broadly.

</table>
&nbsp;
<h4 class="MsoNormal">Other European Markets</h4>
You can access salary data for a number of key European markets in our <a href="https://www.leonid-group.com/white-paper-reports/global-hiring-guide-2025-audit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audit Global Hiring Guide</a>.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal">As a broad overview, Western / Northern European countries (Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Nordics) often have salary ranges broadly similar to UK; sometimes higher, particularly in roles demanding technology audit or heavy regulatory/industry specialisation.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Southern &amp; Eastern Europe tend to have lower base salaries due to differing cost of living, though for senior roles or multinational firms the gap narrows.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Benefits, bonuses, work-life balance, pension, and other perks often make up a larger portion of total compensation in Europe vs USA, altering the effective comparability.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">Key Drivers of Salary Variance</h5>
Here are the main factors that cause these wide ranges, both within and across geographies:
&nbsp;
Experience / Level of seniority Leadership responsibility, managing teams or audit programs always command higher pay.
&nbsp;
Specialisation IT audit, cybersecurity, ESG assurance, data analytics are increasingly premium skills. Roles requiring this tend to pay more.
&nbsp;
Industry / Sector Highly regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, energy, pharmaceuticals) typically offer higher pay. Also, audit functions that cover cross-border or international regulatory oversight get premiums.
&nbsp;
Location / Cost of Living Salaries in major metro areas (NYC, San Francisco, London, Zurich) differ greatly from smaller cities or regional hubs.
&nbsp;
Company size &amp; complexity Multinational firms or those with global operations typically pay more. Also, audit complexity (e.g. multiple business lines, diversified risk exposure) increases compensation.
&nbsp;
Certifications &amp; Education Certifications like CIA, CISA, CPA, ACCA, etc., plus advanced degrees or relevant technical qualifications, push salaries upward.
&nbsp;
Demand vs supply Talent shortages (especially for tech-adjacent skills in audit) increase bargaining power, thus higher salaries.
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">Implications for Employers &amp; Candidates</h5>
&nbsp;
For Employers
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal">To attract and retain top audit talent, you&rsquo;ll need competitive compensation, but other factors matter: career progression paths, exposure to interesting work, flexibility and the full benefits package (pension, healthcare, etc).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Be aware of what competitors are offering, especially in speciality audit fields (IT, cybersecurity, ESG). Benchmark locally and globally, especially for senior hires.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Consider non-salary perks and total compensation (bonus, equity, benefits, remote/hybrid working) which can make a big difference.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
For Candidates
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal">Don&rsquo;t just negotiate base salary; look holistically at total rewards. Sometimes benefits, bonus structure, flexibility and professional development are equally important.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Specialise where possible. Skills in technology, regulatory change, auditing tools, ESG, etc can set you apart.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Understand regional differences. What looks lower in base salary in one geography may be offset by lower living costs, tax, or better benefits.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h5 class="MsoNormal">Factors currently impacting internal audit salaries&nbsp;</h5>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal">Technology and Data Analytics Demand: Audit functions are increasingly expected to embed data analytics, continuous auditing, AI tools. This adds to required skills and thus salary premiums.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Regulation &amp; ESG: New regulatory regimes, climate-related disclosures, and ESG verification are pushing internal auditors toward more oversight and cross-functional impact. Auditors with ESG/audit overlap are more sought after.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Remote / Hybrid Work: Flexibility is becoming part of the value proposition. In locations where remote working is common, salaries are being adjusted (sometimes lower base but better flexibility or bonus).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Talent Shortage in Specialisms: IT audit, cybersecurity, privacy risk are skill areas in short supply and candidates in those niches are seeing higher offers and better negotiating power.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h5>Conclusion</h5>
For employers in 2025, setting salary bands for internal auditors means balancing competitive base pay with meaningful benefits and growth opportunities. It&rsquo;s not just about matching pay, but about positioning roles to attract auditors who can contribute strategically, not just functionally.
For candidates, the opportunity is ripe: those who build specialist skills, stay updated with regulations and technology - and can demonstrate value beyond compliance - will find themselves in strong negotiating positions.

La devise de Leonid : "the right thing not the easy thing" "La bonne chose, pas la chose facile" en français c'est beaucoup moins sympa donc on l'a gardé en anglais. <img src="https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/evergreen-assets/personal-expressions/v2/assets/emoticons/cool/default/20_f.png?v=v18" alt="Cool" height="20px" width="20px">Ce qui notre distingue, c’est notre approche axée sur le client : nous vous garantissons un niveau de service exceptionnel et nous nous engageons à fournir un processus honnête et personnalisé à vos candidat.e.s. En tant que cabinet spécialisé dans le financement de l’innovation et la gouvernance d'entreprise, nous sommes de véritables experts en la matière.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Chez Leonid, nous travaillons sur la base d’un modèle dit ‘’retained’’. C’est-à-dire que nos clients payent un tiers de nos honoraires sous forme d’acompte et bloquent ainsi un tiers du temps de l’une de nos ressources : c’est une des raisons qui nous permet une telle réactivité !&nbsp;&nbsp;Pourquoi cette méthode ?&nbsp;&nbsp;Nous souhaitons établir de réels partenariats et se positionner comme une réelle extension de votre équipe recrutement. Notre objectif : vous connaître au mieux pour vous fournir un service personnalisé et de qualité avec le minimum d’incertitudes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Voici un guide pour vous éclairer sur les avantages de notre approche par rapport au recrutement « traditionnel » au succès : (Link to the retained vs contingency page)&nbsp;

Grâce à Leonid Live - notre plateforme d'entretiens vidéo sur mesure – nous redonnons vie à la candidature. Nous enregistrons de courtes vidéos de présentation avec les candidat.e.s et leur permettons de mettre en avant des aspects relatifs à leurs personnalités et à leurs motivations.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Le Magic Month efface toute incertitude liée au processus de recrutement. Nous fonctionnons avec un calendrier prédéfini et nous avons des étapes claires et précise du jour 1 jusqu’au jour de prise de poste du candidat.

We work on a retained search basis. In other words, our clients pay us an up-front fee before we embark on a candidate search.
Why do we do this? We believe that the traditional &lsquo;contingency&rsquo; recruitment model is flawed; paying only once a placement has been made simply does not work in the best interests of the hiring company. Instead, we take a true partnership approach; acting as an extension of our clients&rsquo; own in-house talent acquisition team to deliver exceptional service and the highest levels of candidate care. To understand the benefits of the Leonid approach versus contingency recruiters, we have produced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.leonid-group.com/retained-vs-contingency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this simple guide</a> to help you understand the differences.

<h5 class="text-center text-black pt-4">Chez Leonid, nous travaillons un peu différemment. Notre objectif : garantir une expérience client exceptionnelle ! Plutôt que de diffuser des offres d'emploi et d'attendre que les candidat.e.s viennent à nous, nous savons déjà où aller pour trouver les meilleurs profils pour vos équipes.</h5>

Nos clients adorent Leonid Live !Alors que la première étape d'un processus de recrutement est généralement un appel de présélection, nous allons encore plus loin !&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Un/Une consultant.e de notre équipe programme un entretien vidéo de 5 à 10 minute avec le.la candidat.e auparavant shortlisté en lui posant les questions que VOUS avez prédéfini !&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Avec Leonid Live vous vous faites en 5 minutes une idée de la personnalité et des compétences de communication des candidat.e.s.&nbsp;<h5> </h5>

Grâce à la méthodologie Magic Month , nous restons transparents tout au long du processus : nous vous informons de chaque progrès réalisé et nous nous engageons à pourvoir tous les postes dans les 30 jours suivant l'instruction. Les chiffres parlent d’eux-même : 98 % de nos mandats ont été menés à bien en respectant ce délai.&nbsp;

<h5 class="text-center text-black pt-4">At Leonid, we work a little differently. Our focus is always on ensuring a great customer experience. Rather than pushing out job ads and waiting for the candidates to come to us, we already know where to go to find the very best people for your team.</h5>

<h5>Our clients love receiving their LeonidLive shortlists! While the first step in an interview process is usually a screening call, we take this one step further.</h5>
We produce 5-10 minute video interviews with a member of our talent acquisition team (with questions set by you) and these enable you to get an instant feel for a candidate&rsquo;s passion and communication skills &ndash; things which cannot be ascertained from a CV alone.

<h5>Leonid&rsquo;s Magic Month methodology makes the recruitment process exceptionally efficient and wholly transparent.</h5>
We endeavour to complete all our mandates within 30 days &ndash; that&rsquo;s around three times faster than the industry average.

Chez Leonid, nous avons un objectif bien précis&nbsp;: offrir une meilleure expérience de recrutement possible autant pour les candidat.e.s que les entreprises.Notre équipe est composée de consultant.e.s expérimenté.e.s qui partagent cette mission et qui ont à cœur de traiter tout le monde de manière équitable et honnête. C’est pourquoi, vous constaterez que, contrairement à d'autres recruteurs, nous.. :<ul><li>Nous comprenons très bien le secteur dans lequel vous travaillez.</li><li>Nous ne vous «&nbsp;ghosterons&nbsp;» jamais !</li><li>Nous vous tiendrons toujours informé.e.s</li><li>Nous respectons nos engagements&nbsp;!</li></ul>Alors si vous travaillez dans le domaine financement de l’innovation ou dans la gouvernance d'entreprise et que vous souhaitez changer d'emploi aujourd'hui ou peut-être à l'avenir, nous serions ravis d’échanger avec vous&nbsp;!

Lorsque nous présentons une liste de candidats à nos clients, nous le faisons via de courts entretiens vidéo, appelés "LeonidLive".&nbsp;Au cours de cet entretien, l’un ou l’une de nos sympathiques consultant.e.s vous posera des questions préalablement choisies par l’entreprise qui recrute et cet entretien qui est enregistré, sera par la suite envoyé au client.&nbsp;Il ne s'agit pas d'une entrevue axée uniquement sur vos compétences, mais c’est simplement un moyen pour l'entreprise qui embauche d'en savoir un peu plus sur vous, chose qui n’est pas possible quand on envoie uniquement un CV.&nbsp;D'après notre expérience, ces listes de présélection en format vidéo contribuent réellement à accélérer le processus puisqu’elles évitent au client d'organiser des appels de présélection.&nbsp;C'est aussi l'occasion pour vous de briller en montrant à l’entreprise un aperçu de ce que vous pourriez leur apporter&nbsp;!

Nous savons à quel point il peut être frustrant de voir un processus de recrutement s'éterniser. En tant que candidat.e.s, vous souhaitez franchir les étapes le plus rapidement et le plus facilement possible et c’est tout à fait légitime. C’est pourquoi, chez Leonid, nous avons mis en place la méthode du "Magic Month".

We work on a retained search basis. In other words, our clients invest in our service before we embark on a candidate search. There are two further payment stages, the final one is only due once the candidate has successfully completed their probation period with you.
Why do we do this?
We believe that the traditional &lsquo;contingency&rsquo; recruitment model is flawed; paying only one a placement has been made simply does not work in the best interests of the hiring company.&nbsp;Instead, we take a true partnership approach; acting as an extension of our clients&rsquo; own in-house talent acquisition team to deliver exceptional service and the highest levels of candidate care.
To understand the benefits of the Leonid approach versus contingency recruiters, we have produced <a href="https://www.leonid-group.com/retained-vs-contingency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this simple guide</a> to help you understand the differences.

<h3>Leonid was founded out of a desire to redefine the recruitment process.</h3>
After spending over a decade in the industry, our founder James Mitchell had become disillusioned with the traditional recruitment model and decided to take action.
Armed with only his solid experience, his drive and a MacBook gifted by his father to support the cause, James set off on a mission to help organisations by improving their experiences of hiring team members.
Today, James continues to head up the company, alongside a passionate team who support Leonid&rsquo;s mission.&nbsp;Unlike other recruiters, our team don't work to hard financial targets. Instead, we focus on building long-lasting relationships and act as an extension of in-house talent acquisition teams.
Check out our short video here to learn the story of Leonid in James's own words.

<h1>NOTRE HISTOIRE.</h1>

<h2>CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.</h2>
Leonid is passionate about a number of causes and is committed to being socially and environmentally responsible.

<h2>BENEFITS OF RETAINED RECRUITMENT</h2>

Contingency recruitment essentially means ‘no placement, no fee’. A recruiter is tasked with filling a role but chances are, they may not be working exclusively on it, and if they don’t succeed in filling the role, then their work goes unrewarded and they move on to the next job.

Le recrutement au succès équivaut à : « pas de placement, pas d’honoraires ».&nbsp;Vous travaillez avec un.e consultant.e dont le travail ne sera pas rémunéré s’il ne trouve pas de candidat.e adéquat.e et qui n’a en plus de cela certainement pas d’exclusivité sur le poste.

Lorsque que l’on travaille sur le modèle “retained” le.a consultant.e en recrutement facture une partie des honoraires en amont du process : c’est la garantie que son travail sera (au moins en partie rémunéré) et la garantie pour vous qu’il ou qu’elle aura la capacité d’investir des moyens plus conséquents !

<h2>DRAWBACKS OF CONTINGENCY RECRUITMENT</h2>

<h2>QUELLES SONT LES DIFFÉRENCES?</h2>Chez Leonid, nous travaillons sur la base d’un modèle dit ‘’retained’’. C’est-à-dire que nos clients payent un tiers de nos honoraires sous forme d’acompte et bloquent ainsi un tiers du temps de l’une de nos ressources&nbsp;: c’est une des raisons qui nous permet une telle réactivité&nbsp;! Et ça fonctionne très bien : nous avons un taux de réussite de 98%, d’excellents retours et un grand nombre de clients réguliers opérant dans les secteurs du financement de l’innovation et de la gouvernance d'entreprise.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pour les entreprises qui ont l’habitude de travailler avec des cabinets spécialisés dans le recrutement à succès, le modèle ‘’retained’’ peut paraitre un peu déroutant, mais pas d’inquiétude&nbsp;: voici une vue d’ensemble des avantages et inconvénients du recrutement à succès et du recrutement dit “retained”.

When working to a retained model, the recruiter collects a partial fee from clients before the recruitment process begins.The remainder of the fee is paid upon successful placement of the candidate. The agency will work on an exclusive basis meaning they are the only ones working on the role.

<h2>WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES</h2><h2> OF EACH APPROACH?</h2>At Leonid, we work on a retained model, regardless of the role seniority. This means we do take a fee up front, before we begin the search for your perfect candidate.We believe this works very well; we have a 98% success rate, excellent feedback and lots of repeat custom from companies in the corporate governance and R&amp;D tax sectors. However, we understand that for hiring companies, it can be a bit of a leap at first, particularly for those who are used to working with contingency recruiters as the norm.
