Why Do Companies Use Executive Search Agencies
If you have never recruited for an executive level role before then having an executive search agency can make a great difference. They can help give you guidance, time and expert knowledge to finding the perfect candidate. So what are the main reasons why companies use executive search agencies?
Specialist Knowledge
An executive search agency will understand the difference between recruiting for a normal role or a senior level role. They will have plenty of experience of recruiting for executive level positions. Most agencies will be specific to an industry so will be able to help you within that specific sector. So not only will they have an outstanding knowledge of recruiting for senior roles but also for specific roles in your industry. For example, here at ITR we have specialist knowledge in the IT sector.
Repeated Recruitment
Once you have an executive recruitment agency that you know well and trust, they can keep recruiting for you. After working together for some time, they will have a great understanding of your company, your needs and the type of candidates you are looking for. They will be able to find you candidates that fit in well with your company. So executive recruitment agencies are great to help you find any new employees. They will be able to help you for as long as you are recruiting for.
Help throughout the whole process
A great executive recruitment agency will help you with the whole recruitment process. They will not only help you find the right candidates but help with interviewing right the way through to offering the job. If you have never recruited for an executive level job, then an executive agency might be perfect for giving you guidance during the recruitment process.
Finding Passive Candidates
A huge advantage of using a recruitment agency is they can find you passive candidates. These are candidates that aren’t currently looking for jobs but could be the perfect fit. With executive level roles this is even more crucial because senior level candidates are more often than not passive candidates. It can be difficult and time consuming to find passive candidates so having someone else who has knowledge in this to do it for you is perfect.
