Why Use an Executive Recruiter like AlpinaSearch?
The services of outside professionals are used by prudent companies for legal, accounting and other specialized needs. Executive recruiters should be viewed in the same light: they are skilled specialists who can identify the best candidates to fill important positions within the company.
Recruiters observe strict confidentiality
Organizations with a key opening can be vulnerable. Recruiters value the sensitive information they become aware of during the search process and respect their clients' vulnerability.
Recruiters develop a global network of contacts
Most often, the best candidates are already employed, who are not actively looking to change roles and many of them will deal only with a recruiter. They appreciate the worth of third-party representation, confidentiality, objectivity in candidate evaluation, negotiation experience and professional mediation expertise. Recruiting superior candidates can be a complex process and is best performed by a professional.
Recruiters are cost effective
The benefit of using a recruiter can be weighed against the cost of preparing and executing an advertisement campaign, screening and qualifying candidates, and operating without a needed employee for an extended length of time, compared to the relative insurance of getting the right person for the job. The use of recruiters is an investment in improving the quality of an organization's staff. But even beyond that, the risk of not using recruiters can be great. For smaller companies -where one hiring mistake can have disastrous results- using recruiters is sometimes more important that for very large companies.
Criteria for Choosing an Executive recruitment consultant
Before making your decision on which Executive Recruitment consultant to work with, AlpinaSearch would recommend asking the following questions: Is the consultant a specialist in your marketplace? Does she/he have a rigorous process that can be demonstrated? Are you offered references from clients/candidates? What is the consultant's success rate? How are the unsuccessful candidates treated? Are you happy to have this person representing your company in the market place? Do you trust him? Do you have a rapport and can work together? Does he legally comply with all the regulations relating to the recruitment industry in the region?
