Company in Search of a Professional

Table of Contents

 

How does your company work?

 

First, we identify the employment need by carefully listening and asking important questions ourselves to determine the specific needs of a search. Next, we contact as many possible leads (sometimes as many as 200) in order to successfully identify the three closest matches possible. Then we function as a liaison providing all necessary information during the qualifying and interviewing stages of the search. Finally, we assist in salary negotiations, relocation concerns, spousal employment, counter-offer implications, and the most crucial part, the offer and acceptance stage.

Do you specialize only in the printing industry?

 

Yes, our account executives are significantly more productive because we network only with industry specialists. By only working in this area, we get to know the people that make the industry grow. We never believed a "generalist" could really do an adequate job for you.

How do internet listing services, placement agencies, and search firms differ?

 

Most internet listing services charge facilities, contract companies, and recruiters a fee to obtain access to candidates who provide information to that service. Confidentiality can be compromised and candidates may receive as many as 20 or more calls from various subscribers trying to "sell" their opportunity to them. Most placement agencies charge a fee to the candidate to help them find a job (under certain circumstances we can structure a search from the candidate side). They usually work in a geographic area and do not typically specialize. A search firm charges a fee to client companies who have included recruiting fees into their budget. They believe in the importance of getting quality professionals to work for them. Some specialize and some are generalists. Most search firms are very confidential with regards to information.

How long does the SearchNet way take?

 

A normal time span - from the moment we are aware of your requirements until a start date has been established - is 21 days. This can be greatly reduced by your ability to meet and make decisions during this process. We have been able to set up a telephone interview within three (3) days: and on occasion sooner.

What if I am working with another recruiter?

 

If you are happy with the results you have received so far, than by all means continue to work with them. It is better to work with one individual who you trust as your point of contact than to work with multiple recruiters who may duplicate efforts and create redundancy. However, if 30 days have past and you still have not seen results, we would suggest trying another firm.

What about resumes?

 

Unlike most other search firms, we do not go the resume' route (in some cases we do need to  in today's market more and more companies are asking for them). In the case of international searches resumes' or cv's are always required. We know that the best people are the ones who are presently employed and too busy to spend their time and efforts constructing and sending resumes' to every company they can. These individuals are smart enough to recognize an outstanding opportunity when it becomes available.
