Why You Should Partner With a Retained Executive Search Firm - WalkWater Talent Advisors

If you’re still doing recruitment on your own, we’re glad that you have the resources and skill to do that. But, have you ever thought about the amount of time you are investing in it!? And, even after that, are you even getting the results you expect?

Hiring experts for the task

What we’d advise is you hire a professional recruiting agency to help you with your recruitment procedures. This way, you will not only be saving on a lot of time, but you’ll be sure you are getting candidates after the right amount of efforts put in. Moreover, you’ll be handing over the task in safe hands to an agency that is in the industry for a good amount of time, and has the right amount of expertise, skill, and pool of candidates. Obviously, it’ll mean a little additional expense, but the amount of time you’ll get on your hands to execute other important tasks, and the kind of candidates you’ll get, will certainly cover up for the price.

What kind of expert to hire?

If you’ve shifted to consider hiring experts for the task henceforth, you’ve certainly made a wise decision. But, there’s yet one more decision to make. Are you going to hire a leading contingency recruiting agency, or from top retained executive search firms in India?

While both kinds of agencies serve the purpose of recruiting candidates for a job, there is a slight difference between the two. Generally, contingency firms are paid only after a candidate is placed within the organization. On the contrary, retained firms charge an upfront fee before conducting the search. Typically, one would always want to pay for something after receiving the product (the product being the candidate here). But, do you know the benefits that you can avail by paying an upfront fee to a retained firm, rather than a later payment to a contingency firm?

ü A retained search firm has a proper methodology on which it works to bring on the best candidates for the job.

ü A retained search firm takes up the responsibility to fill up the vacant position with the right candidate.

ü A retained search will fill up a job position not simply to fill up the vacancy, but to fill it up with a candidate who can prove fruitful to the organization for long term, keeping in mind the future goals of the business.

ü A retained search firm has a large pool of candidates to pick from; and they also approach candidates who are not looking for a job or job change yet, and compel them into moving with you.

ü A retained search firm has an absolute positive and professional air when approaching a candidate, bringing to the prospect a great impression about your organization too.

Considering all the above benefits, you know that the upfront investment is worth it, because you’re sure to find the best candidate who will be working with you long term, capable enough to accomplish future business goals. So, get ready to hire one from top retained executive search firms in India, like WalkWater TalentAdvisors, a true partner for all your recruitment tasks!
