Howdy, partners, and welcome back to The Recruiting Rodeo🐎— my Substack where I try to help job seekers and talent acquisition pros alike, better navigate the "beast" that is often the job search and hiring process ⇻ make it more understandable ⇻ less mysterious and frustrating.
In Volume 3: Retained vs. Contingency Search, a follow up to last week's Volume 2: A Glossary of Talent Acquisition terms, we'll explore the not-so-subtle diffferences between the two types of external search firms that companies turn to ⇻ when they can't find the right talent on their own.
9 out of 10 executives who reach out to me, whether to help them fill a senior-level position on their team OR for job search, resume and career advice – have no idea what I do and how I work. And that's okay. That's why I created The Recruiting Rodeo 🐎!
This "primer" not only explains the two very different types of search firms that all different size and shape Companies consider using when they can't find the right talent themselves BUT – it can help you, the candidate or job seeker, in your own job search strategy – if you take the time to understand how each works.
For anyone working professionally in Talent Acquisition, HR, People, Career Advisory at a college or university, or who will be in a position to hire one day for her/himself as a C-level or VP-level leader, this one's for you. You can save your Company time and money by understanding how each type of search works and what might be your best option, now and in the future.
I hope you will come along for the ride 🐎 and become a free or paid subscriber to The Recruiting Rodeo 🐎. I have lots of insights to share from my 25-year career helping Companies all over North America identify, recruit and hire ⇻ game-changing talent. Giddyap!
