Fee Structure Process is not the only attribute that sets us apart. At Adams, we take pride in our flexibility evidenced in everything we offer including our variable fee structure:

• Contingency

  No fee unless you actually hire a candidate submitted by Adams. Positions filled by this method of payment are typically $50,000 - $300,000 in base salary.

• Partial Retainer

  One-third of the estimated fee paid upfront, two-thirds paid contingent upon our producing the candidate that fills the position. The advantage to you is much higher level of time and commitment to fill the position efficiently.

• Full Retainer

  Total estimated fee guaranteed to Adams upfront. One third of this amount paid upfront, the second third paid 30 days into the search and the third payment paid at 60 days with a final adjustment made at the time of hire. This is the ultimate guarantee of performance from Adams. Our promise is to utilize all the resources of our company to meet the needs of your institution.
