Search only

In certain circumstances it makes perfect sense to ask us to conduct only a search for you – leaving you to do the rest.

For some senior, niche appointments, asking us to conduct a full-service search & selection may not be the best or most cost-effective method. We pride ourselves on our flexibility, and are happy to undertake any part of a project which will help you to secure a really successful appointment.

A growing number of our clients have seen the benefits of using a partial service approach to deliver in particular circumstances, for example:

  • For niche appointments
  • Where time is of the essence
  • Where there is likely to be significant competition for candidates
  • When looking for a very specific skill-set and experience
  • Where advertising may have limited impact
  • When other methods have failed to deliver.

The advantages of a search-only service

A search-only recruitment project allows for better dialogue and a real opportunity to sell the benefits of the opportunity. It ensures that control over the selection stages remains with your organisations hiring managers and internal HR function.

What does ‘search only’ include?

Our search-only service covers:

  • Briefing – listening carefully as well as helping you to enhance your brief wherever possible
  • Preparation – laying down the groundwork for running a fast, efficient and thorough search
