FINDING THE RIGHT PEOPLE – EXECUTIVE SEARCH Even if you agree that it is important to “get the right people on the bus” the real question is “how do you find the right people to get on your bus?” Many companies fill key positions by screening resumes that are “on file” – unsolicited leftovers. Or they hire the friend of a friend. Unfortunately, if a candidate looks good on paper, companies are willing to overlook other aspects of “fit” in order to fill the position. Doesn’t your company deserve better? We are proactive in our approach. We would rather find a person who is running toward your opportunity than a person who is running away from their present situation. The best person might be somebody who is not even looking. This is a person who will only make a change because your opportunity is the one they can’t pass up. It is our long-standing belief that a prospective candidate should fit on 3 levels: skill-set / technical qualifications; synergy with their prospective manager; and fit into the corporate culture. Remember – “People get hired for what they do, and fired for who they are.” There is a reason the process is called executive “search”. Executive search professionals should not be looking for already-on-the-market candidates who’ve posted their resumes on the internet – they should be searching for people who fit their organization. In addition, a skilled search professional can uncover intangible qualities and behaviors that are often missed by companies in the interview process, such as follow-up and follow-through, drive, perspective, motivation, and character. These behaviors are typically revealed during the recruitment process and are often the difference between future success and… well, you know the other option. Is it really so difficult to find the right people that you need to hire an executive search firm? Most hiring authorities do not realize there is a white-collar talent shortage, and it’s projected to last as long as 25 years. As we see the mass exodus of retiring baby-boomers from the job market, we realize the talent pool of white-collar professionals available to fill those vacancies is quite shallow. But how does that affect you?
