THE PARADIGM MUST SHIFT!!! That’s the conclusion that we reached after more than 20 years of business experience, extensively using employment agencies, recruiters, and newspaper advertising to locate key personnel. Each one of these approaches has its limitations.

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES are always trying to “sell” people. They maintain an inventory of candidates who are actively seeking jobs. Rarely do these people have all the specific qualifications that may be required for a particular position. Agencies are expensive, charging fees up to 30% for merely sending a company the resumes of people that they already have in their files. Their universe of qualified candidates is very limited.

CONTINGENCY RECRUITERS are also selling---but with a few more candidates. Few invest the time needed to understand a client’s business and the specific position requirements. Because they work on commission, they cannot afford the time to conduct the extensive research and evaluate the hundreds of candidates necessary to complete a thorough search. Most will run ads, do cursory screening and then deluge a client with resumes or try to “sell” you their most placeable recruits. Companies face the paradox of somehow justifying paying a recruiter to do the same work they are capable of doing themselves.

NEWSPAPER and INTERNET ADVERTISING can turn up literally hundreds of candidates, but your company doesn’t get to evaluate the other 80% that are not actively looking for a new job. Unfortunately, ads only attract those people who are actively seeking to change jobs, have a current resume and happen to see your ad. Chances are your ad provides an excuse for a qualified applicant not to apply. Consequently, the right candidate is rarely in the group of respondents. Moreover, the ad process still requires someone to screen hundreds of responses.

None of these approaches consistently reaches the universe of qualified candidates. Through our search process, we expand our client’s reach with original research each and every time to ensure that all qualified candidates are considered. We pay particular attention to taking an uncompromising attitude concerning ethics, loyalty, and confidentiality. We believe that these aspects of our process are the foundation for building long term, mutually beneficial relationships with our client. Our business is not about resumes, but rather it is about understanding the particular needs of our client’s business. With this in mind, we offer our retained search services, providing proven methods and experience to move the paradigm.
