Having Trouble Finding the Right Executive? A Professional Search Firm Can Help!

When your company needs a dependable executive to fill an open position, your best bet is to go with a search firm.  Sure, job listing sites like Monster, Career Builder and Simply Hired are useful, but often impractical for hiring high-management personnel.

Executive job-seekers, cognizant of the benefits of direct communication, often rely on the ability of a search firm to communicate their unique abilities to employers like you.  Job-seekers know there's a grand difference between firms and listing sites and tend to go with the former.  Quite simply, search firms offer a personal touch whereas listing sites do not.

How a Search Firm Works

Take our executive search firm, Ashley Mackenzie, for instance.  To find the best high-level candidates, we start by narrowing down our pool of resources.  For instance, if you're a marketing company looking for an account executive, we search for candidates who have both marketing and account management experience.  Instead of hiring a candidate who exercises one of those skillsets effectively, you get two – the two needed for an incredible account exec for your marketing company.

After pulling our resources together to acquire the best candidate, we put you in touch with them.  The great thing about an executive search firm is that, usually, the candidate is a guaranteed winner.  This is because the firm spends time investigating the candidate – asking them questions, studying their background, putting them in challenging scenarios, etc.  All this allows the firm to make the best decision on which executive to send your way.

Spend Less Time Finding Who You Need

If you're working with a reputable executive search firm like Ashley Mackenzie, you're likely to fill your open position faster.  Also, the candidate you end up hiring is more likely to stay onboard for a longer term.

At Ashley Mackenzie, our hiring services promote long-term solutions for hiring needs.  By focusing on the future of your company, as well as your present needs, we're able to provide you with exceptional, long-term hiring solutions.  If your company has the need for a top-level employee, email us or call 856.424.9100 today.

An Executive Search Firm Can Pinpoint the Right Candidate

An executive search firm is often utilized in headhunting qualified candidates for executive positions within many financial and professional business organizations. Executive recruitment agencies, as these firms may also be known, can save significant amounts of money and time for companies that need to conduct background checks for qualified executives.

Advertising an executive level position is often costly and the target market small and diffuse; many qualified applicants may not even see print or media advertising, causing a very poor expense to return ratio. By utilizing a search firm that is pro-active about contacting qualified candidates, few advertising funds are used. Many head hunting agencies have "their ears to the ground" and may be aware of potential job seekers that do not actively seek out openings, such as executives whose pay packages are insufficient relative to their experience or companies that may be dismissing executives or laying off whole departments. These situations often allow search firms to have insider information that is helpful in the negotiation of a salary and benefits package.

Many executives inflate their education and experience, but by using a qualified executive search firm, a company can rest assured that the qualifications of an applicant are vetted for accuracy. Only candidates that are truly qualified for the position are referred, preventing a human resources manager from having to wade through applications of middle management and others that do not meet the requirements.

Search firms can also take the time to reach potential candidates, even the hard-to-pin-down ones, allowing a human resources manager to not waste time trying to reach a busy executive through e-mail or phone. They can also delegate basic contacts to someone who is able to keep track of applicants' best contact times and methods to ensure smooth person to person transactions.

Executive search firms find the best candidates with the lowest costs and frustration. With the help of a professional and thorough firm, any company can find executives that share their attitudes, goals, and work-ethic, without the accompanying headaches and revenue loss.
