Employers should be able to measure this contribution by the degree to which the
recruiting partnership supports their strategic objectives for acquiring
external talent while also
leveraging their internal resources to the fullest. And like all
strategic partnerships, third party recruiting
should offer the value-add of continual improvement in cost and quality.
As with employers, the key success
factors of access, efficiency, value and quality
are just as important to candidates as they seek career opportunities which best fit their
knowledge, skills, attributes and performance-drivers.
I am very fortune to have become acquainted with many high-achievers over
the years and as I've followed their careers, the one common attribute I've
noticed is that “talent” always finds a way to stand out, to perform at it's
best, when placed in a conducive environment – regardless of the
individual’s industry or the title on their business card. For an
analogy, I would say that "talent" is a lot like water - it seeks it's own level
until challenged by the right environment or atmosphere to rise higher...and
when that happens, it crests like a tsunami and brings everything and everyone in it's wake
along with it.
Strategically, we seek to help the client and candidate know when the
conditions are right for big things to happen. Operationally, we
facilitate the leveraging of opportunity and talent by a means that supports our
client's enterprise-wide objectives for improving quality, speed and value.
While we approach
every search assignment with a deliberate, research-based and step-wise
process, the VerticalReach methodology and value proposition are really pretty
simple: we utilize the best research tools available and leverage as
much recruiting bandwidth as needed in order to achieve the deepest pool of
quality talent in the shortest amount of time...without loosing sight that
we're in the people business. To us, it’s ultimately about building
effective, collaborative relationships with our clients while doing our part to promote a
desirable recruitment experience for the candidate.
The "war for talent" is being waged on every employment front and our objective
is to give our clients a distinct advantage in addition to their own employment
brand. One significant way we accomplish this is by choosing to represent
top employers in non-competitive market and industry verticals; this market
strategy allows us to avoid the off-limits restrictions which can stifle the
reach of niche firms and practice groups no matter how large. Likewise, providing our clients with
continual improvement in cost and quality is a real objective for VerticalReach. We can do this
because we are a private entity and as such, are not subject to the same revenue pressures as large
public and partnership-based search firms. These differentiators, along with our
years of diverse recruiting experience on a national scale, our broad industry
knowledge, leading edge research tools and our passion for delivering value with every
search assignment makes VerticalReach Consulting Group uniquely suited to be the
search partner of choice for supporting the growth objectives of leading employers.
I hope you
will keep VerticalReach in mind when your organization needs an effective and
value-conscious recruiting partner with the tools and experience to source
and deliver high-performance talent.
Kind
