What is Retained Recruitment

• A boutique approach well suited to the “top end” of the market where salaries are high, suitable candidates are scarce and potential candidates may not always be “actively” open to new opportunities. 
• Also referred to as head hunting, executive search or search and selection

Benefits of Retained/Executive Search:

• Exclusivity on the vacancy ensures a guaranteed return on the investment of time spent by your recruiter.  
• At the top end of the market, discretion is often crucial and head-hunters will go out of their way to ensure that confidentiality is maintained.
• Head-hunters not only have a great deal of experience in recruitment, they also have a considerable professional network. Their candidate reach often extends outside of the traditional candidate resourcing methods such as databases, social media and professional network platforms
• A head-hunter will provide you with a dossier on four or five candidates who have been thoroughly researched and approached on your behalf.
