It’s important to understand that an executive search firm is much different from a normal job placement agency.
An executive search firm has the resources, networking and experience in finding the right professional to fill that “upper management position” in your company, whereas a regular recruiting agency just doesn’t!
Your time is valuable, and the amount of time it takes to find that “seasoned professional” can set you back. That’s where an executive search firm steps in.
Categorizing the prospective hire is the first step in finding the right candidate for your company.
They sift through endless amounts of resumes and cover letters, as well as creating organized work profiles. Work profiles of each candidate are assembled to give you the clearest picture of a potential hire. These can include portfolios, presentations and/or video interviews. The video interview (conducted by the search firm) saves you the time of having to do a formal interview, which face it, neither party enjoys.
While an executive search firm will require a handsome payment, it’s still a more practical move than rushing to hire for a senior-level position. Hiring the wrong candidate can cause more problems than it solves.
By using an executive search firm you can find the perfect candidate for the job and one that will fit nicely into your company’s culture.
