Frequently Asked Client Questions
Why should I use a search firm when I could just advertise online?
We are not just any search firm – we utilize an expedited placement process that takes just 9 weeks to complete (from intake of assignment to offer) compared to the average 17 weeks it would take without our help. The 33% cost savings per placement using our team is significant: less time spent on the hiring process by you internally means less money spent on the hiring process overall.
Most true impact players are not actively seeking a new role which means they are not surfing job boards. Our role is to serve as your industry insider to identify talent that aligns with your goals, get their attention and successfully market the opportunity on your behalf.
By using Calibrate, you will project a message to the marketplace that you value your business services functions and are willing to invest in expert assistance to find the best talent. Candidates will receive this sophisticated approach positively and will be more likely to engage with your opportunity
How will you market our position's vacancy?
hen you choose Calibrate as your recruitment partner, you gain access to our extensive talent pool and comprehensive search strategy. We continually review the marketing channels and processes we invest in to ensure you get the best value for money. When you work with us on a role, you extend your reach to:
- Curated outreach from your dedicated recruitment team to the best-fit Revenue Enablers in our established talent pools
- Several carefully selected premium job boards
- Thousands of followers across our social media platforms
- Our highly-engaged email database of over 20k business professionals
Our best-in-class marketing strategy ensures that you are presented with business services professionals who advance the strategies of firm leadership and serve as essential drivers of performance and profitability.
How can you help our firm raise its profile in a competitive marketplace?
Unlike most recruitment agencies, who only invest in marketing to a shrinking pool of active jobseekers, we invest in developing long-lasting relationships with business professionals at all stages in their career, so that when they are ready to explore opportunities, they will come to us or be more willing to discuss seeking a new opportunity.
We have vast audiences across email marketing and social media and keep our talent pools highly engaged with content to help them with skill development and career progression.
Our firm’s current response to the talent shortage has been to increase the number of recruiters we work with. Is this the optimal strategy?
Exceptional firms require exceptional talent. With our deep expertise in recruiting, we are adept at matching firms with impact players who contribute at both the top and bottom lines. We’ll help you invest in the right people and ensure they thrive in your organization. While it may seem logical to add more recruiters to your vacancy, this can often be a bad idea.
The problem comes down to frequency and consistency. How accurately each individual agency markets the position, as well as your firm’s profile, can often be very hit-and-miss. Further, if the same professional hears about your role multiple times from several different agencies, they could potentially think “What’s wrong with this firm?” or “Why haven’t they managed to fill the position?”
