Sales & Marketing recruiters in New York: questions

How do sales & marketing recruiters in New York charge?

Of the firms ranked here, by their own websites: 2 retained, 2 contingency and 7 hybrid. Most agencies charge a percentage of the hire's first-year base salary. Contingency recruiters are commonly quoted at around 15–25% and are paid only when you hire; retained and executive search firms often charge 25–35%, paid in stages as the search progresses. Our anonymous New York fee survey collects what firms actually charge, by specialty.

How are sales & marketing recruiters ranked here?

Rank is within this specialty only. The biggest factor is specialist focus: the share of a firm's open roles that are in this field. Hiring activity and track record make up the rest. No firm can pay for placement.

Should I use more than one recruiter?

For contingency roles many employers brief two or three firms at once. Retained searches are exclusive by design. Posting one brief here sends it to the specialists and lets you compare their approach and terms before you commit.
