Depending upon which survey or expert you reference, success in management is 70% to 90% the result of hiring the right people. “The most important decisions an executive (manager, supervisor) makes are decisions about people because those decisions will ultimately determine the performance capacity of the organization.” - Peter Drucker ➀ BRIEFLY You know how most company leaders struggle to find and hire top talent that fits their culture? I solve this. MY MISSION: help clients build world-class teams and become industry leaders in the marketplace ➁ I "GET IT"​ As a company leader you have many important projects on your plate. Hiring can be a frustrating distraction from your daily work. The vacancy has your team running at less than full speed, hurting the company’s goals and culture in the long run. ➂ WHAT I DO I work with company leaders to build and bolster their teams by securing top talent from the competition. I uncover prospective recruits who are happy, well-appreciated and currently working. I entice them to move for a stronger career opportunity. Nothing can beat a committed recruiter tapping a talented person on the shoulder and engaging them in a confidential conversation about a strong career opportunity. It's powerful and it's the best way to help leaders secure the talent they need to grow. ➃ HOW WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY We give our client's executive searches the investment required to succeed.

Senior Executive Headhunter | Senior Executive Recruiter | Sr. Executive Search Consultant @ Headhunting is the act of directly sourcing select candidates for a client and then brokering an optimum outcome for both parties. The benefits of Headhunting... 1. Clients save time and effort by interviewing only the people who are appropriate for their positions. 2. Clients gain access to candidates who were not looking to move until they were approached. 3. Clients have the opportunity to meet with the best available candidates, not the most visible. 4. Clients receive great market knowledge about why certain candidates weren't suitable or interested in their positions. 5. Clients are provided with information about how their companies are perceived in the marketplace. 6. Clients can interview candidates who are interested specifically in their company and vacancy. Typically recruitment agency candidates have other career options. These candidates are looking actively for a job, and they probably have other irons in the fire. So even if clients present the candidates with a great opportunity, they may turn them down. As headhunters, we can give clients exclusive candidates who are only considering one position: theirs. The bottom line is that headhunting increases the client's chances of success and saves them time in the process.

Third party recruiters are tapping people on the shoulder and engaging them in a one-to-one dialogue about facing the fear of change and are nudging them to explore other opportunities. That's what the big value is with third party recruiters. Social Media has evolved into another crowded room with everyone screaming their message at the same time. It's probably expected that large companies do this because that is just what is customary. It's an easy way to capture the low hanging fruit and those candidates who are on their way out of their company. But to attract the truly exceptional and highly coveted executives and achievers, the single conversation from a professional and experienced headhunter with good sales skills and a core value system is much more powerful than the best social media campaign when it comes to attracting the very best talent. And that is what gets superstars who are not even interested in their competitors employment brands to consider making a move. Champions are too busy succeeding to consider making a move. Our job isn't about attracting talent. It's about gently nudging talent.

The search becomes a top priority: The retainer structure means that both the client and search consultant both have skin in the game. On a typical contingency desk, recruiters work on ten to twenty searches at any given time; they have to because they don’t have a commitment from any particular client. In contrast when a client works on retainer, they’re typically one of 2-4 searches that the consultant will take on at a time. 2. It’s a more professional process: If a client farms out an assignment to multiple firms, they will likely be represented multiple ways in the market place. It’s difficult to have a cohesive message about the details of the company and the position if it’s being communicated by multiple consultants. 3. It elevates the search in the eyes of candidate: It’s not uncommon in a contingency structure for a candidate to be called by 2 recruiters for the same position. This smacks of desperation and gives the candidate the impression that the company is not taking the search seriously. Some candidates will ask if the company has hired one firm on retainer as a test to see if the company values the position. By using one firm in a retained structure, it allows the consultant to attract a higher caliber of talent. 4. It saves valuable time for the client: Working on retainer means that the client avoids dealing with multiple firms on the same issue. 5. The best candidate is hired: Because contingency recruiters have no commitment from their clients, they must gravitate towards those searches that are the easiest and the quickest to fill. Additionally, it’s in their interest to skim the surface of the candidate universe as quickly as possible. In a retained structure, a much deeper search can be executed and every viable candidate can be thoroughly interviewed. Only the cream of the crop is provided to the client, saving them time, and ensuring they have access to top candidates. From May 2001 to August 2011 (10 years 4 months) Greater Milwaukee AreaExecutive Recruiter | Search Consultant | Headhunter @ What’s the difference between poaching talent and passive recruiting? Passive recruiting involves reaching out to qualified candidates who aren’t actively looking for a job, but may be open to an offer. On the other hand, poaching talent adds another layer — recruiting candidates who are currently employed by another company, usually a competitor, with the allure of better compensation and benefits.

The truth is that great companies aren’t built by great products or great services...they’re built by GREAT people. But the sad reality is that 99% of businesses follow the same “standard” hiring practices that flat out don’t work for recruiting the A- Players you NEED to thrive. According to Harvard Business Review up to 80% of employee turnover is due to bad hiring decisions. Ouch. Not to mention that a single bad hire can cost you $50,000 or MORE!
