Executive Search
This is a structured headhunt with a pre-agreed timeline and complete candidate management which protects and promotes your employer brand.
This is the most thorough and proactive recruitment process and therefore has the best success rate: we have filled 100% of our retained assignments.
- We utilise a premium sponsored advertising and candidate attraction campaign plus a structured headhunt.
- Headhunt: We specifically approach passive candidates (who make up 76% of the market) to present them with your opportunity. Because they are not actively searching for a new role, these candidates would likely not see or apply to a job advert.
To do this, we will draw up a list of all suitable candidates employed at other organisations regionally/nationally who we believe have the right skillset. We then approach these candidates to discuss your role (initially without identifying the business). By doing this, we can engage with candidates in a way an advert / agency cannot – highlighting the advantages of your role whilst handling any ‘perceived’ negatives. This approach is far more likely to reach ‘passive’ candidates who are interested in opportunities, but not actively job hunting.
The result: a better-quality shortlist which offers a true reflection of the market. - TSC engage with and screen every candidate from all sources, including client website and client referrals to ensure equality of service.
- All longlisted candidates are interviewed face to face prior to presenting them for shortlist. TSC provide a comprehensive report and profile for each candidate which addresses your key criteria.
- We provide full candidate management including delivering comprehensive feedback to all candidates (at shortlist and post-interview), we handle ‘offer management’ and negotiation (if applicable) up to and beyond the start date.
The benefits:
- Continually support until the role is filled.
- Candidates are exclusive to you – we will not put them forward to any other roles.
- We manage a limited number of retained assignments at any one time, ensuring your role is given the attention it deserves with a dedicated Account Director.
- We offer a tailored fee structure – with a low instruction fee compared to traditional retained services which reduces your cost risk.
Testimonials
"TSC’s approach is refreshing, honest and professional"
“TSC came highly recommended to me as the MD of a professional sales and marketing recruitment business who did things a little differently. I asked them to help me with recruitment at Liberis and I was extremely pleased with how our partnership developed. TSC recruited a Sales Director and they have also been instrumental in growing our sales, marketing and operational teams. TSC understands the commerciality of businesses and the requisite resources needed – they really get to know the businesses they are recruiting for. TSC’s approach is refreshing, honest and professional.”
"Not your average recruiter, by far the best"
“I have worked with TSC since 2012, originally as TSC helped me in securing my current position. Since then I now work with the guys to help me source the right candidates for my ever expanding team. TSC has taken time to understand exactly what I am looking for and the personality fit for my team. Always professional always a pleasure. Not your average recruiter, by far the best.”
"Nothing short of excellent"
“Having been a client with TSC since 2015 I can confirm their professionalism, quality of service and speedy results is nothing short of excellent.”
“I would highly recommend their recruitment services to all businesses who are serious about hiring top talent to fill important responsible roles within their business.”
"A very easy, honest and professional experience"
“It was great to work with The Search Consultant recently. A very easy, honest and professional experience from our initial conversation to now keeping in-touch and maintaining a close connection with me.”
"Professional, clinical, resilient"
“From our first conversation when TSC found me my current role, to the many times we have spoken regarding recruiting for my employer, TSC has been professional, clinical, resilient and an all-round great guy to work with. While some recruiters I find can be plastic and fake, with Matt I feel like I work with someone who is on my level and gets the job done. I’d always recommend TSC to others, his approach is far more personable compared to the number crunching High St consultancies.”
"I got a fantastic sense that lots of hard work was being done on my behalf"
“TSC question closely to understand the ideal candidate for the role, then the team do an excellent job of hunting out and screening, which in turn allowed me to reach a hire rate of 1 in 2 or 3 interviews..”
“I got a fantastic sense that lots of hard work was being done on my behalf, deadlines were met for interview slots, and the extra detail from the psychometric profiles is a lovely extra to allow me to make a very informed choice.”
"It was an absolute pleasure"
“TSC helped me get my new job! During the process they were extremely helpful, dedicated and efficient. I would like to heartily recommend TSC as a professional organisation. It was an absolute pleasure.”
