FAQ
Why should your organization retain a search firm?
Retained search is a must at the executive level. In addition, a retained
search sends a positive message to prospective candidates about your organization.
Candidates understand that your company is willing to do what is necessary
to attract the most qualified talent. Filling executive level positions can
be extremely daunting on your own.
Few companies have the resources, the expertise and the objectivity to conduct a thorough and timely search. Finding the ideal candidate with the proper qualifications and skill set takes a great deal of time and research. Retaining JHA will provide many qualified candidates to your company in a short period of time, allowing you to properly screen and make a hiring decision that is both time sensitive and cost effective. It requires:
- Resources - the time input of your people, plus research materials, files on industry leaders, etc. Search firms have these resources readily at hand.
- Expertise - search consultants spend all of their time in the executive marketplace. They have experience identifying sources and prospects, building candidates' interest, conducting confidential reference checks, structuring compensation packages, and closing the deal.
- Objectivity and Confidentiality - Because they are outside your organization, good search professionals have more credibility in presenting the opportunity to potential candidates and more objectivity in assessing the candidate pool. At the same time, they maintain strict confidentiality.
