We are heading into the busiest time of year for hiring and we have record low unemployment and traditional recruitment tools like job postings are not bringing results. To quote LinkedIn, “With unemployment now below 5% companies are being forced to look at their talent acquisition strategy differently. The standard job posting on a large job board that worked during the recession is not yielding the same quality that it once did.” “LinkedIn job postings are not effective for executive level hiring”. The solution to this recruitment challenge is to hire a headhunter.
The definition of a headhunter is someone who actively pursues the recruitment of passive candidates. Passive candidates represent 75% of the workforce. As such a headhunter targets the “grey area” of the market i.e. people who are not actively looking for jobs but when presented with an opportunity may make a move. A headhunter is trained to excel in markets with a high demand for talent. To a headhunter, there is never a shortage of talent. A headhunter is motivated by hard to fill, time consuming executive searches that require a great deal of strategy to achieve the best result. Executive search for C level, compensations ranges of $200k plus, and confidential searches are other key searches to outsource to a headhunter. To get the best talent on board prior to the holidays, you need to retain/engage a headhunter immediately. If you have a crucial search that needs extra effort to fill, a headhunter can help. We are passionate, innovative headhunters who are always in search of the very best talent, the unicorns and purple squirrels who help our client’s to become the very best at what they do. We customize every search because every search is unique and every client is also unique. Good candidates are hard to come by and the best way to find them is to actively target who you want by using a headhunter.
The goal is to hire the very best talent, not the best talent available. The best talent bring the best results to your business and a headhunter is the one who will bring them to your company. A headhunter is an expert at marketing their clients to passive talent to tell your brand story to talent that are not actively seeking a new role. A headhunter builds passion around what your company is trying to achieve and targets the passive candidates that can turn your goals into accomplishments.
