Services
Contingent Search:
We identify suitable candidates from those who are actively looking for opportunities within our network. We will manage the project through to its successful conclusion.
As we use a defined candidate pool, this approach is most suitable where an individual is required with easily identifiable experience. We suggest this approach if we feel we can find a pool of relevant candidates within our network.
Retained Search:
Headhunting techniques are employed as we search our existing candidate pool and map the market to identify suitable source companies. We will uncover a shortlist of candidates with the correct profile, relevant market experience and work with you closely throughout the process.
Retained search is best used where the requirement is for an individual with a specialist background or skill set, if their skills are in short supply or if they are in a specialist market sector.
Retained Advertised Search:
We develop a brief with you clearly identifying the key components of the role, its success metrics, position and function. Utilising our current network, headhunting and advertising to identify suitable candidates we undertake to uncover those with a relevant profile. The shortlist is assessed against the brief and the most suitable candidates delivered to you. We will continually liaise with you ensuring there is clear communication between all parties.
Retained advertised search is the most thorough approach and is best used where the requirement is for an individual with a specialist background and the widest pool of candidates needs to be covered quickly.
