Engaged search - hire strategically and effectively

Engaged searches are research-focused and ideal for confidential and sensitive searches. The engaged approach is meticulous, methodical, collaborative, and consultative.

Engaged search is a good entry point for clients looking for the same level of service as a retained search.

It is recommended for non-executive positions or enticing candidates with lateral career moves and is often used for niche technical and managerial appointments.

Engaged search provides:

  • A 93% success rate
  • Lower costs than standard contingent pricing
  • Reduction in time to fill permanent roles by 14 days
  • Talent pool research and market intelligence on client perception and salary benchmarking
  • A mutually collaborative approach that meets the needs of both clients and candidates
  • A focus on cultural and organizational fit

Retained search

Retained search is a bespoke recruitment method predominantly utilised for senior-level positions within organisations. 

The roles typically encompassed are:

  • Directors
  • CEOs
  • CFOs
  • COOs
  • CIOs

This approach is essential for identifying individuals who not only have the requisite professional qualifications and experience but also exhibit leadership qualities and a vision that aligns with the company's long-term objectives and ethos.

These are critical hires essential to achieving financial, strategic, and commercial goals.

Office Team Gathering

Multi-hire campaigns

When hiring in large quantities, internal HR teams may need additional support to:

  • Oversee mass hire projects
  • Keep up with the ongoing daily duties

Multi-hire campaigns are an effective strategy employed by organisations when there is a requirement to recruit a large number of employees within a short time frame.

In such scenarios, internal Human Resources (HR) teams often find themselves in need of extra support to manage these extensive hiring endeavours effectively.

This need arises from the challenges of overseeing a large-scale recruitment project, which demands considerable time and resources, while also balancing their routine daily responsibilities.

Talent mapping

A talent map provides targeted data and bespoke real-time market intelligence. This can be invaluable when hiring niche disciplines within a specific region.

This helps your HR teams reach the best candidates without adding workload or costs.

Deliverables:

  • Dedicated discipline-specific research and recruitment team
  • Clear KPIs and delivery schedule
  • Significant reduction in cost and time to hire
  • Visibility of all research for each individual candidate identified
  • Access to talent mapping software 24/7
  • Extensive headhunting, active networking, and advertising initiatives
  • Research report outlining the key findings

Compensation & Benefits Studies

Benchmarking highlights market compensation trends and their impact on employee productivity and your ability to attract and retain top talent.

Airswift compiles a thorough expense and salary benchmarking to help you plan ahead.

The process consists of all or a portion of the following:

  • Contractor Role Review
  • Job Title vs. Job
  • Job Duties vs. Market
  • Rate vs. Industry
  • Identification of Cost Savings

The results enable lean management of workforce planning, sourcing, performance, and risk.
