WHY USE AN EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM?

APRIL 2019

Many organizations now admit that in today’s challenging, highly competitive talent market, the use of networking, in house recruiters, online job postings and social media are not always producing the desired results in finding the best and most highly qualified people.

Effective as these tactics may often be, they are just part of a recruiting strategy.

And sometimes it needs help.

THE COST OF A BAD HIRE.

The Harvard Business Review has stated that over 80% of employee turnover can be attributed to poor hiring choices.

Similar research conducted by the US Department of Labor says that the price of a bad hire is 30% of the employee’s first-year earnings—at a minimum. As the position becomes more impactful to the business, this number increases exponentially.

SEARCH FIRMS ARE EXPENSIVE. WE CAN DO IT CHEAPER OURSELVES.

Search fees are too high. And as I’m sure you know, there are retainer-based firms whose search fees average 30-35% and can go as high as 50% of total candidate compensation, which includes base salary and various bonuses. And, there are contingency recruiter’s fees averaging between 25-30%, sometimes ending up near 20%.

In today’s competitive recruiting market, I don’t think those fees are justified.

That’s why I decided to break from what is a long-standing industry tradition and do some disrupting of my own.

INTRODUCING OUR 10% FLAT SEARCH FEE.

A boutique firm with an over 25-year national reputation, Executive Search International is a very successful business. We work harder and smarter and are focused on being totally results-oriented for our clients. We’re ready to help you advance your talent agenda–assist you in the recruiting and hiring of the highly sought after, hard-to-find talent your organization needs.

To help do that, we are charging just a 10% flat fee on the hired candidate’s first-year base salary—no matter what the position. And we will gladly work with our clients on an exclusive contingency basis.

ESI: THE EXPERIENCED SEARCH FIRM YOU NEED.

Organizations know that partnering with an experienced executive search firm not only adds value, but can also become a key “success” component to their overall recruiting strategy.

Especially when it comes to identifying and recruiting that “needle-in-a-haystack,”those individuals at the senior level—and, when confidentiality is a necessity.

Nothing, they say, beats a well-trained and highly networked executive recruiter for sourcing and recruiting passive candidates who are typically the high-caliber, A-player candidates that a business otherwise does not have access to.

What’s even more critical is that delays in the search process in filling those key positions are lost opportunities that can cost your company dearly in productivity, morale—even revenue.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE WE OFFER YOU:

• Entry to one of the largest networks of pre-qualified professionals and sourcing channels in the nation, featuring active, passive and hidden talent pools.
• Quick, focused, and cost-effective searches and hires because of our extensive database and our established relationships.
• Faster results for filling those open positions because we have more qualified candidates in the pipeline.

Very few executive recruiters and search firms can match my extensive contacts, know how, successful track record— and perhaps most importantly— my reputation. I recruit great people who are strong cultural fits. They successfully meet, and most often exceed their organizations’ needs.

We’re ready to give you 100% effort for a 10% search fee.
