We help our clients understand from an outside “partner firm” perspective a lot about marketplace trends; this assists our clients in critical planning decisions such as when they are developing specific position requirements, salary parameters, etc.  Spending the time up-front significantly increases the likelihood of recruiting a candidate who truly embodies the needs of the organization.  This differs greatly from the way most recruitment firms operate in a “plug and play” mode, where an outdated job description is used as the basis of attempting to find the ideal candidate.  Our support continues throughout the interview process including offering recommendations on how an offer might be presented to meet both the needs of the client company and the candidate they are interested in hiring. After the successfully placed candidate starts in the new role, we follow up with both the client and the placed candidate to increase the likelihood of a smooth transition. This level of in-depth “partnering” with our clients is an area that allows for placements that make sense and typically result in long-term tenured hires.
