Guidelines to help you reach an informed decision.
Achieve results by selecting the right option…
Search/head-hunting is the best method when one or more of these criteria apply:
- The target/desired candidate is so senior he will be easily identifiable
- The specialised/professional skills you seek are clearly definable
- Confidentiality is essential
- There is only a small pool of suitably qualified individuals
- The client company or their sector suffers from poor profile
Advertising and Short-Listing is the right choice when:
- There is a large group of potential candidates across the country
- A clearly defined time-table is desirable
- Candidate's may come from a different industry sectors
- The client's profile is likely to attract high calibre applicants
- There is a large team to be maintained with a pipeline of applications
Database/Contingency Supply is effective for:
- Ad-hoc support to a large organisation in between regular advertising
- One-off vacancies from junior to middle management levels
- Locating the services of interim professionals/contractors
- A quick search when time is of the essence, always recommended whilst advertising and/or head-hunting proposals are being considered
