Why Partner With Us?
Today's business environment is complex, competitive, and ever changing. Businesses that can consistently recruit the best people not only thrive, but survive in uncertain times. Consider the following as you contemplate engaging a search firm:
Expertise
Think about the amount of time it takes for your managers to surface, screen, interview, negotiate, and hire the best potential candidate. A Search Consultant is an expert with a proven process, resources, and methodology. They search, screen, qualify, and present only those candidates who meet the predetermined requirements saving you and your company substantial time and energy.
Passive Candidates
Much of the top talent is very happy with their current position. They simply are not spending the time looking for a new job – they are dedicating their time to performance. A Search Consultant’s skill is in sourcing and engaging the right candidates, not the most available. There are no shortcuts. The only way to consistently hire the most talented people is to find and approach them. An effective Search Consultant will do this by making thousands of phone calls and connecting deep within a network that is painstakingly built.
Negotiation
Many times a hiring manager is left to guess what is motivating a candidate. A candidate is much more likely to tell a Search Consultant why they would consider making a career move. The recruiter acts as a third party negotiator concentrating on bringing the two parties to a mutually benefiting relationship. What’s more, their reputation is reliant upon their ability to clear red flags, ask tough questions and mitigate risks to ensure both parties are making a good decision. The best candidates can be recruited by the combined efforts of a Search Consultant and a successful hiring manager.
Industry Awareness
A Search Consultant works all day talking to dozens of people. They know your competitors. They know who’s installing new applications and who has suspended hiring. Most importantly, they know what it would take to recruit a key player from your competition, and how to help you keep your key players on your team.
Cast A Wider Net
Companies tend to advertise broadly, through specific, often local, channels; therefore, they may miss large groups of candidates not frequenting those outlets. This can make the number of qualified candidates available appear artificially low. Additionally, the expense of advertising is a sunk cost, spent whether or not you fill your position. A Search Consultant can expand the range as far as necessary to find the best possible candidate without additional search cost.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Are you an expert at finding, attracting and hiring top talent? Do you have the time to do it?
- What does it cost your organization in terms of productivity, reputation, morale, etc. to have key positions vacant?
- How much time and/or money has your organization spent on a consultant to perform these tasks?
- What is the risk/reward ratio to filling the position sooner by using a recruiter?
- Do you have anything to lose by working with a Search Firm on a Contingent basis?
