Client Benefits to use AustCorp’s Executive Search Services

  1. Exclusivity gives us a platform of commitment to create a Project Team dedicated to your role(s) as opposed to one Consultant doing some work in between additional, potentially greater, priorities. When retained we turn away new projects if they could dilute our service levels on your roles.
  2. Exhaustive Search of all avenues for candidate sourcing, not just finding someone that can do the job but maximising the candidate pool via priority listed adverts, database searches, headhunting and networking. Increased confidence that whoever you do hire really is the best person you could have hired. The costs associated with hiring the wrong person often far outweigh that of any recruitment fee.
  3. Confidentiality – Are there business / political issues if you approached certain people in certain companies? We can advertise confidentially and also approach people and qualify their suitability without divulging who you are - it can sometimes be difficult for you to ring someone without the underlying implication of 'we want you for this role' which may not actually be the case. Perhaps you are looking to hire someone and do not wish current employers or competitors to know about it?
  4. Down time - looking for the right people is time consuming and a job in itself - we are experts in this type of work and can allow your employees to focus on other tasks avoiding commercial and financial downtime.
  5. Mediation - some individuals do not want to approach a company directly and will ONLY look at something if there is a consultancy managing the process. We Consultant across the entire recruitment process cycle including market feedback, interviews, references, candidate management, offer presentation, resignation management, contractual negotiations etc. We exist to ensure you are and remain the number 1 choice for prospective employees.
  6. Reputation Management - we ensure every interviewed candidate is handled with care and satisfied with the process. If you advertise yourself and have 100 applicants - that’s 99 people that know you've seen their details and 99 people who didn't get the job - how does this impact how they view your organisation?
  7. Timescales - an executive search campaign ensure quicker turnaround, as our staff dedicates their time exclusively to this campaign and we work backwards from your ideal start date.
  8. Exclusivity - any candidate introduced to you with a retained campaign is exclusive to you until you state you are no longer interested in them for that role.
  9. Partnership - the entire campaign is managed and conducted by one firm - we treat these campaigns as an Alliance and a partnership. You do not want 3 different recruitment firms approaching the same people and you want to be able to drive quality down one path - our path. We collaborate and operate with transparency so you know exactly what we are doing and when we are doing it.
  10. Long term talent profiling – should we be positioning as a true partner with your firm then we would be profiling your organisation ahead of other firms when speaking to talented individuals within the relevant sectors. We are in a position to identify and assess future talent and present them to you through informal introductory meetings. This elevates how you are perceived by individuals with the aim that when they are looking or perhaps when they have further developed their skill set then know they can be reintroduced to your organisation as you know who they are and they know who you are. This is a true differentiator for you and a key way to help ensure future talent growth.
  11. Commitment - we are careful about what project we are retained for - we are aware of the possible consequences should we be unsuccessful. We only recommend it if we believe it to be in the best interests of our clients and we are confident of our ability to deliver. With contingency agreements a recruiter isn't committing to fill the role and without that you risk losing them to another client that will give them that commitment. With a retainer we are saying we WILL solve this problem for you.

The highest level of certainty you can have to fill these roles (with the best people) is to give it exclusively to one firm that knows what they are doing as opposed to a scrap between lots of recruiters that don't really know what they are doing. The better firms only work with exclusivity / retainers because they are good and they are in demand because of it.

We are happy to supply a list of completed assignments on request.
