Retainer vs. Project-Based Recruitment: Which Fits Your Studio?

For single-role backfills, a project-based Hiring Sprint is the most cost-effective option. However, if you are expanding your studio or starting a new large-scale developer client project, retainer agreements align incentives better. - Sprints: 14-day dedicated sourcing window, 5-8 shortlists, great for quick backfills. - Retainers: Continuous active pipeline mapping, priority support, discounted per-hire commercials.
