The Benefits of a Retained Search

Finding qualified applicants for open positions is the responsibility of every company on the market, but sometimes you need a little bit of help in getting the right people. That's where a company like us at Ashley Mackenzie comes in, providing all of the assistance that you need with a retained search to draw in just the kind of people that you want as part of your company.

A retained search is a method of finding qualified applicants to become employees offered by a third party to a business like ours. First, the retained search providers will collect all of the information possible about the client company, and they'll make sure that they have a thorough understanding of what the position available is and what qualifications and responsibilities it entails. Then the company creates a very specified and targeted call for applicants, making sure to be appealing, while at the same time listing clearly what is necessary for the position. Ideally the candidates will be winnowed down quickly, and within 6 weeks from the start of the process, you'll have the very best qualified applicants ready to start work.

Perhaps the best part of a retained search is that it's quick, it's efficient and it works. We can begin with a few hundred applicants and, based on the needs of the client, hand over the cream of the crop who are eager and ready to begin work. Not only that, but by the very nature of the process, the client can continue to carry on its business without having to dedicate time and resources into looking for a replacement for the individual that will be leaving his or her post vacant. So not only do you get the employee that you desperately need, but you leave the heavy lifting to a third party. It's a win-win situation for any company.
