Graphic of computer: 5 Advantages of Using an Executive Search

It can be difficult and time consuming trying to recruit for your executive roles. Finding the candidates with the right experience and skills can be tricky. Bad hire can be a huge cost for your company; training, advertising a new position and recruiting all over again. In the U.K. alone 27% of companies say bad hire costs more than £50,000* so save your time and money and hire right the first time! So here is 5 advantages of using an executive search:

 

What are the advantages of using an executive search?

 

Get the best talent available

When looking to hire for executive roles, you clearly want to find the best talent possible! Job posts only reach the people that are actively searching at that point in time. But a targeted recruitment campaign can insure you find the best candidates for the role.

 

Hire candidates with experience

It can take a long time to go through CV’s looking for certain experience. So if you are looking for someone with specific experience to ensure that they can fulfil the position, an executive search agency will be perfect for you. They will find candidates with the relevant experience and save you time and effort searching for that perfect CV.

 

Quickly fill positions

Unfilled positions can be costly to the company and skilled candidates are only on the market for a short period of time. So it is crucial to fill that role as fast as possible! It can also be a strain on other staff that are having a larger workload or working without their manager. Issues like this can lead to a variety of productivity issues which you want to avoid. Using an executive search agency can limit this as you can quickly fill a role and have a smaller period without anyone in the position.

 

Find people that aren’t actively searching

Most of the best talent in the industry will already be in a role, but they could be the perfect candidate for you. An effective executive search will explore passive candidates who could be a great fit for your company.

 

Get talent with specific skill-sets

It can be difficult if you are looking for board level candidates that have specific skill-sets and certain experience. An executive search allows you to find the best possible candidates with the exact requirements that you need in a short time.
