A Retained Search is a comprehensive and proactive method of sourcing the best people in the market by targeting top-tier individuals that are not actively looking or applying to jobs. 

Within technical and competitive markets you need the best people to be on top of the competition. The best people have the knowledge and experience that make the difference between a good team and a great one.

During a Retained Search we will develop a target list of every potential candidate source and then proactively approach individuals. Included in this would be passive candidates. We do not rely exclusively on LinkedIn or job advertisements, but these are also employed to supplement the active networking.

Additionally, we take extra steps in order to assess the suitability before anyone is submitted. This is achieved by in-depth questioning and can be extended by additional testimonies if required. These checks are more important than ever now that people have control of their own online profile.

We focus on what is most important to you – finding the best people for your team.

This type of campaign is suitable when working in a candidate and/or short market, when time is a factor and when you simply need the best person in the role.
