RETAINED SEARCH & SELECTION
Recruitment for senior level positions
HIRING YOUR SENIOR POSITIONS
Hiring the right person for your senior-level positions can take a lot of time and effort. You may not have the resources in-house to have one or a team of people focus on this. Retained Search and Selection can provide the dedication you need.
WHAT IS RETAINED SEARCH AND SELECTION?
When you engage an agency to assist in filling senior and executive-level positions, you will pay an upfront fee (retainer). This is because a dedicated consultant or team will focus exclusively on your role, providing a consultative service.
In contrast to contingency recruitment, where consultants prioritise quickly finding as many candidates as possible, retained search and selection involves consultants thoroughly researching the market for high-caliber candidates, including those who may not be actively seeking new opportunities. Once potential candidates are identified, the consultant will collaborate with you to create an appealing campaign that highlights your company to these chosen individuals.
BENEFITS OF RETAINED SEARCH AND SELECTION WITH ASC
Sole focus
We will assign you a consultant who will become part of your in-house team, being fully committed to your role exclusively, upholding your reputation and protecting your confidentiality.
Network of contacts
Our consultants are well networked due to their in-depth knowledge of your sector. They will have access to a range of people and always build a relationship for the right candidate over a period of time.
Communication
The handling of delicate communications and negotiations with senior level candidates can be the difference between securing or losing the right person. Our consultants are experienced in managing expectations, frustrations and negotiations from senior level people which eliminates risks.
Thorough candidate sourcing, screening, and assessment
It’s important each stage of the hiring process is seamless. That is why we take the time to ensure a candidate is right for the role and your business. Numerous conversations, face to face meetings and assessments will take place before you see a candidate.
Time and cost saving
Finally, by dedicating time exclusively to your role, you save time in-house which in turn would save the cost of using in-house resources to recruit for the role.
