Contingent versus Retained?

Which Solution Is Right For You?
"Whether you choose contingent or retained, you get the same thing: Our full commitment. I will be personally invested in finding you the right person. The only difference is how we structure the search..."

— Jessica Dean-Percy, Founder

"I can confidently say that Jess and her team are among the best recruiters I’ve encountered. Jess brings a rare combination of professionalism, industry insight, and genuine care for candidates’ goals and aspirations. She was personable, and at no point did I ever feel like just a number or left waiting for feedback. I would highly recommend Jess to any professional seeking new opportunities."

Textile Industry Leader

"The professionalism shown by Bowmay and Jess cannot be understated. When finding a new challenge after 21 years I had significant concerns if not some anxiety , looking for the right fit in my career but the level of detail, compassion and understanding put my fears to rest: and also finding a perfect selection of opportunities."

Operations Director

"Quite simply, Jess and her Bowmay team are the market leaders in senior level appointments for the textile manufacturing industry. I have known Jess for over ten years, and her ability to provide a bespoke service as standard goes from strength to strength. I would have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Bowmay."
