A retained executive search provides the following advantages over traditional recruitment methods:

• Exclusivity – As the sole retained search firm for the role, we are able to devote all of our time and resources into finding the best candidates. We do not juggle multiple searches for the same position.
• Access to Passive Candidates – Over 80% of the candidate market is passive and not actively looking. Our networks and recruitment strategies allow us to identify and approach qualified leaders who may not be on the open job market.
• Confidentiality – We keep our clients’ searches confidential to protect the organizations and potential candidates. This allows us to access a broader pool without tipping off competitors.
• Thorough Screening – We thoroughly vet and evaluate each candidate through interviews, assessments and reference checks to uncover any potential issues early. Only the best make it to our clients for consideration.
• Accountability – Retained firms are invested in finding the right hire. If the placement does not work out, we will run additional searches at no extra fee until the role is successfully filled.
