Why should you partner with a headhunting firm?

The cost of a bad hire can be significant! In fact, a bad hire costs 30% of the failed employee's first year salary. Recruiting at any level into your organisation is undoubtedly one of the biggest investment decisions you have to make, cutting corners or settling for mediocrity is not something you should be considering.

What value will Headhunting add to your business?

Headhunting is a robust and rigorous recruitment process, sometimes known as search & selection or executive search. Specialist headhunting firms such as Collingwood partner organisations who need to recruit senior level / business critical and / or ‘hard to fill’ niche roles. These businesses are likely to want to recruit THE best candidates and not just the best available at that point in time.

Your dedicated consultant, through their industry sector expertise, is able to offer guidance on identifying, attracting, and appointing the best individuals to meet or even surpass, your needs.

The consultant will project manage the recruitment process from start to finish.

Is Headhunting worth the investment?

In short, yes, but of course we'd say that. What we would also say is that our headhunting recruitment process isn't for everyone. It requires you to invest time to collaborate with us. Building a strong partnership with you will ensure we find candidates who will fit culturally and be able to deliver. So, if you are looking for a fast and cheap recruitment option where there's no effort required from you until the contract is signed, then our proven and robust process is not for you.

What could happen if you recruit the wrong person?

  • Damage to team confidence and moral 
  • Loss in confidence of the recruiting leader
  • Damage to customer perception of your business
  • Lack of bench strength or succession planning
  • Negative impact on revenue and profit
  • Make it easier for your competitors to recruit the best talent
