Recruitment Guarantees

Throughout our 10 years of headhunting for our exclusive clients, we have offered guarantees to our services. Whilst the industry norm generally doesn’t offer a guaranteed service, we feel the need to be different.

Our guaranteed service provides our clients and candidates with confidence. The confidence that our clients are committed to actually hiring an individual. The confidence that the candidates we put forward in a shortlist to our clients, are 100% committed to a career move.

The majority of the team at RHACS has previously worked for executive recruitment companies, and has experienced the fustraighting flackyness of non-committing candidates. This is also true for some clients who don’t work retained or exclusive, using a number of recruitment firms for CV’s. This poses a questionable problem in relation to data protection and how candidate data is stored.

At RHACS, we are determined to seek out and identify candidates who are trustworthy, committed and who are engaged in our headhunting process. Businesses across the UK and Europe have benefited from our extremely detailed and comprehensive headhunting service. Compare our guaranteed service to your existing recruitment partner, are they confident to offer this? We are dedicated headhunters who genuinely care about the candidates we submit in a shortlist to our clients. Most of our assignments are from referrals, word of mouth and repeat business from existing clients.

Why should you use Headhunters?

A common question we’re asked by potential clients is why they should choose to work with a headhunter instead of relying on a standard hiring agency. There are several benefits which can be attained when utilising a specialised recruitment firm, such as better chances for finding the right individual and more control over the process.

What is Headhunting?

Executive Headhunting is a method of recruitment that is geared towards finding the best possible candidate for a specific job. It takes place in secret, and by closely observing potential candidates, Executive Search specialists can locate someone who would be ideal for the position.

Headhunting is the process of identifying and attracting qualified individuals for specific client opportunities. It typically involves confidential targeting and identification, with an aim to motivate them in order to meet the needs of a particular client group. Headhunting for specific positions requires more effort than simply finding the people who are actively looking for a new job. It’s about searching through all potential candidates, even if they haven’t explicitly expressed an interest in working with you at this particular time.

Executive Search or Headhunting involves thorough research into who may be the best fit for a particular position and reaching out to them directly in order to determine if they are interested. The key difference between successful headhunting and unsuccessful headhunting is the level of detail pursued in identifying top talent. A headhunter is a specialised professional who finds individuals for a specific role. A recruitment agency, on the other hand, is a company that provides resources and support to businesses looking to hire new employees.

Rephrase Headhunting is the process of locating and contacting all potential candidates for a specific job, in order to identify any interested individuals. This approach has several benefits, including discretion and confidentiality.

The majority of recruitment agencies rely on people who are actively looking for new work registering with them or responding to job ads. However, the most successful senior candidates are unlikely to be searching for a new position and are much more likely to be content in their current role. They will not be accessible through traditional recruiting methods, so an aggressive headhunting approach must taken in order to reach them. A qualified headhunter will have evidenced and reported the mapping of all candidates who have been contacted, in order to demonstrate the match between their skills and the role.

A genuine and professional headhunter will only work on roles that are retained. This is because they invest a lot of time and resources into the initial research phase, so they can only take on projects exclusively. There are no guarantees made when it comes to headhunting. Headhunters will not offer refunds, as this costs them money they have invested in finding the best possible candidate. However, if the appointed person does not work out within the first 12 months, a guarantee can be offered that another suitable person will be found.

A recruitment agency may initially seem like a more affordable option than other hiring methods. In addition, their “pay on results” approach means that they only charge for successful hires. However, this method often leads to rushed and low-quality job candidates being hired in favour of those who are passive or unwilling to take interviews. Furthermore, the majority of their focus is on actively looking for candidates rather than overlooking potential top talent – passive candidates. Despite these drawbacks, this approach is likely the most cost-effective way to fill lower level roles at a relatively low cost overall

While headhunting is effective for finding talented individuals in lower-level managerial roles, it has a greater impact when targeting senior management positions. A thorough research process will ensure that the final candidate chosen is the best available option and essential for jobs that have a significant impact on business performance and profitability.

Hiring a headhunter is the best way to find a suitable senior executive candidate. At RHACS – Retained headhunters, we go above and beyond when headhunting executives for your business.
