The search fee is the small visible tip above the water. Below the waterline, much larger hidden costs sit unseen.
The search fees are the tip of the iceberg
- Firm's interim weekly fee markup
- Search partner 50% commission
- Marketing and admin fees
Hidden costs below the surface
- Delayed decisions
- Stalled initiatives
- Team turnover
- Lost revenue
- Burned-out leaders covering the gap
- The cost of rehiring if the new leader fails
- Lack of organization
- Weak guarantees
- No progress tracking
- Low morale
Most organizations budget for the fee. The real cost sits below the waterline.
