Working With a Search Firm
The ability to match a candidate to a company takes experience, industry knowledge, and analytical skill, not to mention a certain flair for spotting talent. At Bayside Search Group, our executive search consultants listen, understand, and represent both candidates and companies to fill hundreds of opportunities year after year.
This is what Bayside Search Group offers you as a candidate:
Expertise
Nobody knows the retail employment marketplace better than a professional recruiter like Bayside Search Group…nobody!
Cast A Wider Net
A professional fisherman will always have a greater selection than a weekend angler. Recruiters are in the marketplace day-in and day-out. They know the un-fished coves, reefs, and inlets, including the unlisted addresses inaccessible to company insiders. Bayside Search Group professional recruiters have a detailed roadmap to the hidden talent sources that cannot be accessed through newspaper ads, alumni associations, applicant databases, or the Internet.
Reality
Contrary to what some believe, recruiters do not try to fit square pegs into round holes. A recruiter’s stock-in-trade is his or her integrity and reputation for finding someone better than a company could find on its own. The candidate selection process is not, as some believe, a matter of romping through the file cabinets or vetting an opening among others in the recruiter’s network.
Confidentiality
Working with a Bayside Search Group professional recruiter can help keep your search confidential. Advertising or otherwise publicly proclaiming an opening, (aside from its high cost and demonstrated ineffectiveness for sensitive senior level openings), often creates anxiety and apprehension among the company’s current employees.
Speed
Using a search professional who is continually tapped into the talent market is faster than one having to start the process from scratch.
Negotiation
Bayside Search Group professional recruiters help companies arrive at a mutually beneficial arrangement without the polarizing roadblocks which all too frequently materialize in face-to-face dealings, especially in today’s economy.
When making a decision on whether to work with an executive search consultant, be sure to avoid those that do the following:
- Show unethical behavior
- Charge a fee for their service
- Release your resume without permission
- Have a personal chemistry that doesn't click with yours
- Do not pass a reference check
