Retained Executive Search

When looking to find your next Senior Executive or recruiting to a post that requires a particularly niche skill-set, you may prefer us, a leading search consultancy, to act for you on a retained basis.

Whilst following the same diligent and focused process as when working on a ‘search and select’ assignment, we are able to dedicate increased time and resource to produce a deeper and more detailed analysis of the market and the needs of the client.  This includes undertaking a still more intensive screening and evaluation process, and providing full and thorough candidate profiles.  We also offer advice to our clients on the salary and benefits package attached to the post and the level of experience this is likely to attract.  When retained we are able to ensure less commercial downtime for our clients, often saving considerable cost to the business.

In addition to offering our proactive search service, fully utilising our network and ‘headhunting’ the best in the market, we can also, if desired, directly advertise the post, screening and selecting suitable candidates and alleviating a significant administrative burden from the client.  Alternatively we can offer a more discreet campaign, with no explicit advertising instead utilising a highly personal approach using discreet headhunting techniques, if preferred.

When acting on a retained basis, we also offer a range of complementary options designed to provide an enhanced level of support to the process.  These options include, if desired, interview training for the panel, attending throughout the panel interviews, provision of various materials to support the selection process (including interview questions devised around the ’competencies’ of the role and assessment score cards), advice on candidate assessment, enhanced due diligence, and more.

For further details on the services we provide on a retained basis, please contact us at enquiries@telferpartners.com or on +44 (0)1223 632510.

‘I was introduced to Neil by one of our owners to help locate 2 senior sales executives in the UK. Neil is one of the best partners I have worked with – not just in the recruiting area, but across a wide spectrum of consultants and partners. He internalized our vision and needs very quickly, located ideal candidates through targeted contacts in his network, thoroughly screened and prepped the candidates prior to sending us resumes, and most importantly kept us on task when we were distracted. It was the last part that really set him apart from other recruiters – he had just the right sense of urgency to keep us focused without coming across as being impatient or overly aggressive. I will engage Neil again if I have future openings in the UK. Thanks for a job well done Neil.’
