Professional Sourcing of Candidates

A professional executive search firm has mastered all of the steps which must be followed to surface the right candidates and successfully complete search assignments on a timely basis. In-house personnel, who do this less frequently, generally take more time, surface fewer qualified candidates and may actually spend more money than an outside firm. Existing business relationships are not affected or influenced when a search firm contacts various executives to develop leads for candidates.

Verification Of Competence

A professional executive search firm asks the candidate the tough, probing questions which determine the real skills of the candidate. Then they vigorously pursue reference checking with previous employers and outside sources to verify the candidate's true capabilities, experiences and organizational fit. Internal sources may not have the time or skill to verify perceived versus actual capabilities, experiences and personality traits.

Confidentiality

A professional search firm provides an external buffer to insure that the search will remain confidential in order to avoid disruption within the client organization. In addition, an outside search firm can make discreet inquiries to attract otherwise unapproachable candidates from competitors. Finally, the candidate's present employment is uncompromised by employing this third party resource.

Effective Employment Negotiations

A professional executive search firm can effectively negotiate employment terms with a candidate on an objective and realistic basis and maintain positive feelings between the employer and the candidate. Internal sources, when faced with conflict, are in a weakened bargaining position and may alienate the best candidates for the position.

The High Cost of Internal Recruiting

If one calculates the true cost of the internal recruiting activity, including unnecessary time demands and pressures on key executives, these costs may exceed any fee paid to a professional executive search firm. Less likely, but certainly possible, is the critical cost in hiring the wrong candidate which could lead to lost profits, business and organizational disruption, and the eventual need to reinitiate the search process.
