Our Services

The Focus Group offers professional recruiting services tailored to organizations that:

• Lack the time for intensive recruiting efforts required to attract quality talent.
• Find conventional recruiting methods ineffective.
• Require specialized or high-level position candidates.
• Prefer not to directly contact organizations where potential candidates are employed.
• Need a confidential recruiting process.

The Focus Group offers recruiting services on a contingency basis — meaning GEA members only pay a fee if a candidate is successfully hired.

The standard fee is 20% of the employee’s first-year salary, with potential discounts for multiple position searches.
