Explanation:
Ik geloof wel dat Chris Hopley er dichtbij kan zitten. Onderstaande link geeft een mogelijkheid die in de zin misschien beter past. Contingency recruitment = selectie voor een specifiek probleem (bijv. wegens nieuwe IT ontwikkelingen heb ik plotseling bepaalde IT deskubndigen nodig). Korte termijn dus. Retained recruitment is lange termijn aanstelling van personeel. Voor "Core business" dus.

Explanation:
I haven't got a direct translation for you, I'm afraid, but just an expanation. The difference between contingency recruitment and retained recruitment lies largely in the way the recruitment company earns its fee.

Contingency recruitment generally works on the basis of no cure, no pay (i.e. you pay no fee until the vacancy is filled). With retained recruitment, however, you pay a retainer up-front when placing the assignment. You would generally also pay another retainer on presentation of a candidate short-list. The final fee, less the retainers, becomes payable on placement of a candidate and is usually based on the successful candidate's starting salary.

Retained recruitment is generally used to fill senior management positions ('executive search', 'headhunting') as the process is much more complex and time-consuming than 'ordinary' recruitment.

-> "For those who insist on Contingency (no-win, no-fee), we still deliver a first class service, but we cannot guarantee an identical calibre of candidate compared to those secured via the Retained route."
http://www.msc-headhunting.co.uk/contingency.htm

-> "Retained recruitment ... The fee payable is the same as with Contingency Recruitment, based upon a percentage of the "Total Annual Commencing Salary" of the individual placed with the client company. To secure our services throughout the duration of the assignment, we require a retainer of 30% of the expected Recruitment Fee upon commencement and a further retainer of 30% of the expected Recruitment Fee upon presentation of candidate shortlist. Upon placement of the successful candidate, the value of both the retainer fees is then deducted from the full recruitment fee."
