Contingency Firms |
ProAlt Executive Search |
Listings |
Contingency firms are not certain where their next fee is coming from. Their business model is to list as many openings and candidates as possible then they mix and match in hopes of a hire. |
We accept one search of a kind at a time, avoiding multiple client competition for top candidates. We focus on your need. Each ProAlt Search Consultant serves no more than three different clients at a time. |
Which client gets the best candidate? |
Contingency firms’ businesses model forces recruiters to mass merchandise candidates to multiple clients. |
ProAlt Executive Search presents a given candidate to one client only. |
Who qualifies the candidates?
|
Contingency firms usually forward as many raw resumes to an employer as possible, burdening the employer to screen for fit.
|
We screen and interview each recommended candidate, relieving the employer of the burden of qualifying candidates, saving your valuable time.
|
Who direct recruits for top talent? |
Contingency firms generally focus on applicants actively seeking employment. |
ProAlt Executive Search also considers active candidates, but more importantly, our focus is on recruiting targeted leading performers, most of whom are not in an active job search. |
| Who knows the client’s business better? |
Contingency firms spend less time learning your culture and doing initial research because their time is highly fragmented across dozens of job orders. |
We will meet with you personally to gain a thorough understanding of your organization, position responsibilities and requirements. We conduct a customized needs assessment and personally interview all decision makers before we recommend candidates. |
| What kind of documentation do clients receive? |
Contingency firms provide a resume and salary expectations. |
We provide the client thorough documentation, including a written summary of a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, positions and salary history, written references checks, and compensation requirements. |
| What is the timetable? |
With no guarantee of payment for services performed, contingency firms cannot afford to invest much time in a search beyond basic recruiting and advertising. |
Our thorough search process typically requires hundreds of hours per assignment in research, recruiting, evaluation, screening and client interaction. Prime candidates are usually identified within 45 business days of being retained. |
| Is there a difference in the experience of the consultant representing the client? |
Contingency firms employ commission sales people working to meet their quotas. Most of their work is oriented to lower level positions that are easiest to fill. |
ProAlt Executive Search works at mid to senior level positions with senior level consultants responsible for managing the engagement. |
| Guarantee? |
Contingency firms are under no obligation to guarantee or produce results. |
ProAlt Executive Search guarantees your satisfaction. We are committed to our process that ensures the best hire for our client’s business. 95% of our hires are successful beyond one year. |
