A lot of business managers have the impression that headhunting
is always an expensive option. In truth it can be if the client
does not clearly specify their requirements.
However, when the client does issue a detailed person
specification and job description a lot of precious time in
finding the right candidate can be saved and costs can be
tasilored to reflect the complexity of the search.
The selection and recruitment process of new staff can at the
best of times be a lottery. Business Managers are often expected
to select staff for recruitment on the strength of one of two
short interviews/meetings. Sometimes it works out and sometimes
it doesn't.
When it doesn't it can be disruptive, costly and detrimental to
a business particularly when we are talking about a SME rather
than a large multi-national company. It is therefore hardly
surprising that many companies are turning to the use of
professional headhunting companies to carry out most of the
groundwork and pre-qualification activities that formpart of the
recruitment process.
One such company which offers effecti
ve headhunting services is a Milton Keynes based concern
called Aster Interim Solutions. Paul Wilson, Managing Director
of Aster takes up the story. "A lot of business managers have
the impression that headhunting is always an expensive option.
In truth it can be if the client does not clearly specify their
requirements. However, when the client does gives us a detailed
person specification and job description we can not only save a
lot of precious time in finding the right candidate but also
tailor our costs to reflect the complexity of the search.
We also use psychometric analysis and job mapping on each headhun
ting assignment as screening techniques to maximise the
chance of the interviewee being compatible with the clients'
"ideal candidate profile". This ensures we not only present a
shortlist of candidates to the clients who are technically
qualified for the role but they are also more than likely to fit
in with the clients'corporate culture".
The use of headhunting services can be an extremely effective
strategy.
