Start with role stakes, seniority, function, location, compensation, employment type, confidentiality, market scarcity, internal recruiting capacity and deadline. Retained executive search, contingent professional recruitment and temporary staffing are different services. Ask who personally leads and researches the search, which candidates and companies are off-limits, how consent is recorded, how assessment and references are performed, what evidence accompanies the shortlist, who communicates rejections, when the fee is earned, and exactly when replacement protection applies.
