What's delivered
Scoping — 25%
Any delay or substantial change attributable to the client may result in the engagement being suspended or the timeline being pushed back.
Market — 45%
Presentation of the qualified candidates identified within the search scope, up to 3 profiles when the market allows it. When the number of profiles matching the scorecard is lower, Dryve reports back on the search findings and documents the limits encountered on the market.
Recruitment — 30% (on signature only)
Minimum contractual commitment: Scoping + Market, 70% of the fee — whatever happens next.

If you stop along the way
| Stop after | You walk away with | What you don't get |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping (25%) | Signed scorecard, job description, difficulty diagnostic, sourcing strategy. | No candidate names. |
| Market (45%) | Anonymised market map (reusable Excel file), sourcing statistics, qualified candidates identified with write-ups. | Subject to the 12-month conversion clause. |
