Why Executive Search?
The impact of recruiting an individual for your team who matches the long term ambitions of the business should not be underestimated. Neither should the consequences of hiring the wrong person.
Executive Search (headhunting), gives you access to the right candidate at the right time that you can’t reach by any other recruitment process. As an employer, it gives you the opportunity to meet with talented top performing individuals that can’t be attracted any other way.
Why not just call people from my own personal network?
By using a headhunter with strong industry knowledge of, and just as importantly confidential access to, top performing individuals, we would not be bound by the extent of your own network. We can best position your company and opportunity confidentially and objectively assess the strengths and weaknesses of each target individual. Talking with someone about a new job is one thing – getting them to resign and start work with you is another. By acting as an objective third party we can be a key negotiator and manage the right candidate through to the day he starts work with you.
How do I know who can best help me?
The key questions to consider when assessing which recruiter to partner with are:
- “Is this the recruiter most likely to fill the position in my timescale?”
- “Will the consultant truly add value during the recruitment process?”
- “How well does the recruiter know the target audience and industry? Do they really have access to the people I want?”
- “Is the recruiter someone I am confident in representing me?”
Why Critical Selection?
It's what we do best.
We can’t work with every business in each of the sector that we operate in. Our key priority is to develop long term relationships with our clients where we act as a natural extension of your business – your recruiter of choice.
In each practice area, our Consultants are industry experts with a strong personal network, supported by a proven search methodology that allows us access to the most qualified people in your field.
Each role we are asked to fulfill is unique and we treat it that way. By addressing the needs of each assignment and incorporating best search practice we move as quickly as possible and provide regular feedback during each stage of the process.
It is imperative to gain a thorough understanding of what underpins the success and culture of each of our clients. By examining the requirements of each role and establishing how to attract the interest of those individuals not actively looking for a new role, we can use that knowledge to approach, build and deliver a successful shortlist of 4 candidates, usually in less than 6 weeks of instruction.
