Targeted Search and Selection
Sometimes, finding the right candidate for a role cannot be accomplished through the conventional routes of Database Search or Advertising. This might be due to the complexity of the role, specific industry or skill requirements, or confidentiality. In these cases a more pro-active and targeted method is required to find the perfect match.
Search is a very effective means of finding candidates for precisely defined roles in clearly identified source companies, or where the required experience is limited to a small pool of specialists. It is also very appropriate for executive level roles.
Our consultants’ expertise in dealing with people in such circumstances enables them to identify and select candidates, approach them confidentially and ascertain their interest and potential suitability.
Of course, utmost discretion is required to maintain our own brand values and the integrity of our clients. We take great care to ensure that we are fully aware of all elements of the social, economic and political milieu of the client company before embarking on a search assignment. For this reason, once again, a very detailed and specific brief of not only the role and person specification but also the wider commercial impact of the assignment is required.
Depending on the amount of information available in the common market, we might assign the services of a specialist research organisation to ensure that we reach a sufficiently broad target market. Before the search ensues this is normally discussed with the client to ensure a totally targeted and discreet assignment.
It is also not uncommon for our client to provide a search list of desirable individuals for particular roles.
In all cases, client confidentiality is maintained to the first interview stage. Once this stage is reached, the normal process for retained assignments takes off to ensure a standardised procedure is applied.Contact us to discuss your recruitment requirements
