Many businesses are not fully aware of the benefits of using the services of a reputable executive search firm.
It makes good sense for cost-conscious businesses to seek human resource solutions that will allow them to manage
their time and financial resources efficiently and effectively - particularly as the majority of any business's
expenses are related to human resources, including compensation, benefits, absenteeism, recruitment and turnover.
Today's executive search and placement specialists use sophisticated methods, draw from a large pool of
qualified candidates, have a network of contacts in place, and utilize in-depth assessment techniques, giving them
an edge that is well beyond the scope of most businesses.
An Executive Search Firm will:
- Broaden the scope of the search for suitable candidates by developing an all encompassing
search strategy geared towards a variety of mediums, locations and time frames
- Save the time and money of preparing, wordsmithing and placing advertisement in newspapers
- Save the time taken up answering inquiries and screening potential applicants
- Eliminate time spent interviewing & reference checking potentially unsuitable applicants
- Speed up the hiring process by bringing forward some suitable candidates already on file and
available for immediate interviews
- Obtain PIPEDA / Privacy clearance statements from candidates
- Work in complete confidence, maintaining the integrity of the client's image in the public eye
- Assume responsibility for notifying all unsuccessful candidates
- Conduct personality profiling, aptitude testing or utilize behavioral interviewing methods
- Conduct reference checks, credit checks or additional background checks as required
- Provide well qualified and therefore 'better quality' candidates
- Schedule and prepare both clients and candidates for interviews
- Assist with salary negotiations on behalf of client and candidate
- Identify and resolve any outstanding issues
Fee structures vary, however a reputable firm will always set out a professional business agreement with their
client company ahead of time. Executive search firms stand behind their work, offering a guarantee period for every
full service placement and a pledge to create a positive solution for everyone involved.
