headhunting
Headhunting is the most effective method of proactively recruiting top performing managers.
"The top performing 5% of managers within branded retail multiple units will increase sales volumes,
add brand value & increase bottom line profit by 31%. Conversely the bottom 20% of managers within
the same units will negatively impact the bottom line by 23%"
Harvard Business Press
Our headhunt service provides a shortlist of candidates who would not be discovered through any other
method of candidate search. Most top performing people are too focused & too motivated to actively seek
a job move. As a result they do not read vacancy pages, visit job boards, approach companies or visit
third party recruiters.
A significant proportion of these people will consider a job move if approached by a professional search firm & presented with an attractive employee value proposition.
There is a tendency for candidates who do register with agencies & respond to advertisements to be demotivated, unhappy, unqualified & or unemployed.
Headhunting is also recommended for providing an effective solution for vacancies where demand exceeds supply.
