The Search For Quality: Recruitment Agencies
While job hunting, it’s best to keep all opportunities open. And employment agencies help you to get just the right ones. They match a certain individual to a certain position in a company. This is done with the help of recruiters, of which there are two kind: the in-house recruiter and the headhunter.
What make the in-house recruiter special is that they are usually members of a company, specifically a certain company’s human resource department. A few in house recruiters work for companies on a contractual basis which finds them shifting from one company to another when the hiring needs of the first have been sufficiently met. These kinds of recruiters can usually be seen in recruitment agencies and employment agencies.
Third party recruiters, more commonly known as headhunters, are the people companies turn to when their in-house recruiters can’t find suitable candidates for the job. Headhunters may work alone or through an agency. They act as the contact between the client and the candidates, and may specialize in either client relationship or looking for candidates, or both.
Then we have headhunters of a somewhat higher breed called the Professionals or Executive Search agents. These people are typically more involved in the process as compared to ordinary agents. They are usually part of a much larger company or agency and have long distance relationships with their clients. What is usually looked for in an Executive Search Agent are a large network of contacts, detailed knowledge of their area, and maturity/seniority in handling the duties required of them.
The executive Search Agents operate on a much higher level when compared to other agents. To them, the poaching resorted to by some others is a definite no-no. They go through the extensive and backbreaking process of doing interviews, reports and overall assessments in order to find exactly the right people to fit each job. This level or professionalism ensures that companies get only the best when dealing with the kinds of agents.
Executive Search agencies usually add compensations for their clients to maintain their long relationship. A common example is how Executive Search agencies promise to make additional searches for free if the candidate resigns or is fired within a year of employment.
