Why AEC Firms Should Own the Candidate Relationship
AEC firms benefit when candidate relationships, engagement history and talent pipelines stay with the firm instead of disappearing when an outside search ends. Direct ownership makes recruiting knowledge reusable across roles, years and hiring-team changes.
The relationship should outlast one requisition
A strong candidate may not fit today's timing but could be exactly right for a later role. If the relationship belongs to the employer, that history remains useful.
AECIQ does not own the hire
Interested candidates are handed directly to the customer. The employer takes over the relationship because nobody can explain the firm better than the firm itself.

AECIQ keeps statuses, reasons, notes and timing in the customer's pipeline so later searches start with context instead of starting from zero.
A different fee model changes the incentive
AECIQ uses an annual subscription rather than a placement fee. There is no extra fee when the customer hires from the pipeline.
