One of the biggest problems in business is ‘mis-hires’.

Contingency Recruitment is also sometimes called the ‘non-exclusive’ search refers to a type of recruitment in which the agency only collects a fee once a candidate that they have qualified is successfully placed in the role. Recruitment to clients: No Risk & No Upfront Cost whilst still having quality methodology from Villegas Recruitment.
At Villegas Recruitment, we aim to disrupt the recruitment industry through introducing the ‘Hybrid Model Recruitment Solutions’. The Villegas’ Hybrid Model is a combination of retained search in addition to the regular contingency search but with clients benefiting for more services.
