You need to find an executive for your company because you have expanded to create a new department or one of your top executives have announced that they are leaving. A retained search allows you to speed up the search for a new person so that you can get on with your business. A retained search is when a recruiting company partners with your company to dedicate themselves to the search. This ensures that they are responsible for searching on your behalf to keep it simple for you. There are many benefits, including: - Providing you with more time to do other things - Getting experienced recruiters to work for you - A dedicated company responsible for recruiting - Subjective interviews conducted - A faster search More benefits exist as well, especially when it comes to freeing up the time of people in your HR department. In the end, you need someone who is qualified without waiting for month to find the right person. You need Mr. or Mrs. Right and you need them right now because the fate of your business rests on filling that position. A retained search is going to put the best people on the job so that there is someone looking all hours of the day for the right person. You may not have the time to dedicate to finding a person all day every day, but a recruiter does – and that's why you should work with one when you need to hire an executive in a short period of time. One of the greatest things about working with a recruiter that specializes in executive positions is that they are actively collecting resumes, even when they are not filling a position for a particular company. This means that once you contact them for a retained search, they may already have resumes in front of them for people who are capable of doing the job. By the end of the week, you could be conducting several final interviews to find out if someone is capable of fitting the mold that you have established. This allows you to make a job offer faster so that you can begin the training and ensure that they are able to pick up where the last person left off and get your organization back into the shape that it needs to be in. A retained search doesn't have to be expensive and it's certainly one of the easiest ways to get a position filled by the right individual. Without retaining a search, you have to do a bulk of the work on your own and that's when you are likely going to take shortcuts that could leave you with the wrong person in place. A recruiter will do all of the hard work for you, including checking references and conducting background checks. Only then can you feel confident that you have the best possible position in front of you to give them the important title within your organization.
