Retained Recruitment FAQS
Retained search is the process of ‘headhunting’ a candidate to fill a high-level recruitment or operations position within a business.
Retained search is sometimes referred to as ‘headhunting’. This is because it involves a research-led approach to identifying potential candidates, and then approaching them to fill a role. The process includes defining the role requirements and desired skills with the business, before the recruitment firm conducts research, identifies targets, and presents a shortlist to the hiring company. The headhunters can then take on the role of approaching the targets, taking over the first interview stage and discussing salary expectations.
One of the main reasons companies use an retained search recruitment service is that it saves time. Because the process can often be lengthy, handing over parts of the process to a recruiter enables the hiring managers to focus on their day job. Recruitment specialists also have access to their own network of candidates, as well as specialised research and negotiation skills which can help them to find and place the right candidates.
Typically, a retained search can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, although sometimes this can be longer, particularly for a highly specialised role or a executive position. We aim to fill any roles with 4 weeks of commencing our search process.
