Planning Up The Perfect Executive Search Strategy - WalkWater Talent Advisors

The success behind every project lies on how well you plan it, and then how well you move forward to work on it. Setting up a strategy can help you stand apart from the rest, and create a foundation to assist you to move in the right direction. A strategy is thus required even when you’re finding a candidate to fill up a vacant position in your company. Because it is the kind of team you hire that decides on the success of your core processes, recruitment is also a project, which thus requires a strategy too.

Designing a search strategy

A search strategy begins by working out a plan with a professional search firm, after mentioning to them every minute detail, including clear expectations to avoid confusion later in the future. There must be complete specificity and transparency. The more detailed the specifics are, the more meticulous the search strategy will be, and better will be the chances of finding quality placements for your company. Let’s help you note the most important aspects you will want to address to provide the base structure for the search strategy.

(1)  Job specifications – This includes the very basic details about the job role that is to be filled, such as the role title, the key tasks for the role, the compensation, etc.

(2)  Ideal candidate profile – Along with the job specifications, you also want to outline the qualifications you wish to have in the candidate, rounding out the ideal candidate profile, including their educational qualifications, years of experience, industry experience, skill set, etc.

(3)  Target list for search – Once you have communicated all the basic information about the job and the kind of candidate you wish to have, you now want to evaluate where you can find the perfect match. For this, you can create a target list about where you can start looking for your suitable candidates.

(4)  Additional details – Once all these basics are done with, you move forward to more details such as when to conduct status call updates, when to arrange for candidate interviews, conference call details, and other goals to be achieved through the search strategy.

After the search strategy is designed…

Once the search strategy is in place, the search for the candidates will begin. After a tremendous amount of search, candidates are shortlisted and examined. Feedback is given and taken between the client company and search firm. The search strategy and goals are them revised based on this feedback.
