Why More Clients Are Choosing the Priority Search Format

CONFIDENTIALITY
By using one search firm that is dedicated to filling your needs versus multiple contingency firms, your confidentiality is protected and controlled.
e-Search guarantees your confidentiality.

COMMITMENT TO SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION
Successful completion of priority searches are 8-9 times more likely than contingency searches because of the commitment of time and resources that are focused exclusively on your behalf. In addition, the financial investment on the front end of the search raises your commitment to the process.
e-Search guarantees successful completion.

QUALITY OF CANDIDATES
When a recruiter begins a candidate presentation with “I have been retained by…” it immediately elevates the perceived image of the client company and the perceived importance of the position. Also, a recruiter’s ability to influence a candidate’s decision is increased when the candidate knows the recruiter is working on a retained basis because it enhances the perception of third party objectivity. Finally, priority clients are given a first-right-of-refusal on candidates surfaced during the search. e-Search guarantees quality of candidates.

TIME SAVINGS
On average, the search-to-placement time of a priority search is significantly less than a contingency search because time and resources are committed to a client’s search. In addition, the client saves time by not having to provide the same information to multiple recruiters. e-Search guarantees commitment of time and resources.

DOLLAR SAVINGS

The client realizes an inherent savings by successfully completing the search more quickly, due to the opportunity cost of their time involved in the search process. Furthermore, there are significant savings compared to the cost of:

Hiring the wrong person
Failing to hire the best person
Leaving the position unfilled, or an incompetent candidate in place
Poor or unprofessional representation of their company in the labor market

e-Search guarantees cost savings.
