| Search has traditionally been the preserve of senior executive roles only. This is because of the very high costs of research, placement fees of around 25%-30% and the length of time it takes to produce a short-list using manual candidate market research methods.
|
| But executive search doesn't need to cost the earth. Using leading-edge technologies, Online Executive Search is able to offer executive search services at comparable cost and timeframes to advertising methods.
|
| This means search is now a practical recruitment option for middle management, professional and skilled specialist roles, not just CEO positions.
|
| Search is ideally suited to New Zealand's skill-short labour market. Search methods can systematically cover the target population much better than advertising, very thoroughly and in a relatively short space of time.
|
| Our search technology provides comprehensive coverage of the candidate pool - much better coverage than manual search methods.
|
| Search gives our clients a much wider pool of candidates to consider than advertising - in particular, good-to-outstanding performers who weren't looking for a job but see the opportunity for career progress and a new challenge and are happy to explore the opportunity….but only once they are approached.
|
| It should be remembered that only a small minority of the total candidate pool you are looking for will apply for a job via an advertisement. Ask yourself-how many jobs have you applied for in the newspaper in the last 6 months, just because you happened to see it? It's a fact that most of the candidate pool aren't looking for a job.
|
| A by-product of making search the primary method for finding candidates is saving of advertising costs for the client - typically a saving of between $1,000 and $10,000, depending on the role being filled.
