Recruiting Consulting

As a CEO, would you like to level up your recruiting in 2024?

Our Recruiting Consulting Services

As an extension of our executive search track record, we’ve had a front-row seat to see what works in completing 1000+ executive searches. In watching what we delivered the quality and speed from an executive search, many small to midsize companies asked if we could help apply some of those concepts to help fill all the other roles. This customized recruiting consulting helps CEOs who feel frustrated with their ongoing recruiting struggles and have made a decision to try something different to get better results. What if your internal recruiting could be transformed into a competitive advantage?

Most other recruiting consultants will focus on interviewing techniques, HR legal updates, behavioral assessments, and recruiting technology. These are helpful and can increase your efficiencies – but we believe this is not the core reason most companies struggle in their internal recruiting.

The problem is the lack of “Art of Recruiting” strategies to attract great candidates to begin with. This means inspiring the talent who are not actively looking and ensuring a great candidate first impression.

Typical “Art of Recruiting” related problems most companies struggle with today in recruiting (and maybe you can relate):

Uninspiring

Many job descriptions sound to candidates like “Here are 20 soul sucking things you can do in this role, but you don’t know why or what we do as a business. Interested?” Making your first impression stand out saves you time and attracts a higher level candidate. Your need to sell your team and your company story. Candidates get engaged by knowing your unique company story, how this role can be a hero internally and the people/team this role would get to work with.

Candidate first impression

Have you applied to your own company? You might be surprised at what you find out. Whether fair or not, candidates will judge what it is like to work at your company by their recruiting experience. You want to “wow” candidates at every step of their application experience just like a 5-star hotel.

Not measured

You likely have an internal leadership team dashboard for every other company function (Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations, etc) and aligned on key metrics and what success looks like. If recruiting talent is a top strategic priority, then being able to measure your ability to successful attract talent is a good first step. You get what you measure, right? Having your executive leadership team aligned on recruiting best practices will take this from being a department to a shared goal. will help transform recruiting from a weekly struggle to a competitive advantage.

If these resonate with you – good news, we can help your recruiting level up.

Here’s How it Works

ASSESS: HOW IS YOUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT TALENT TODAY?

We take the perspective of a candidate to assess your employment brand first impressions and effectiveness. This includes your Job Description, Careers Page, Linkedin profiles of top hiring managers, Recruiting video and secret shop your candidate application process. For each of these areas you receive measurable dashboard metrics of where you are today.

BENCHMARK: HOW DO YOU STACK UP AGAINST YOUR COMPETITORS?

We then also assess your Top 3 talent competitors you battle for talent to put your scores in context and provide some recruiting competitive insight.

CUSTOMIZE – WHAT IS THE BIGGEST ROI TO FOCUS ON FIRST?

We stack rank and make a Top 5 recommendation list for the biggest impact for the least amount of effort & cost. You receive a 35+ page PDF full report with dashboard scores with specific insight and recommended improvement areas customized to fit your unique culture and hiring needs.

DELIVER – YOU GET A NEW COMPANY PITCH AND RECRUITING PLAYBOOK.

We do a company and role intake like we would do on an executive search with 30-minute video intake sessions with your key team to learn about your company story. This means it has minimal team distraction. We also learn about your unique culture fit and past hiring wins/fails to learn more. We then craft a new job description for one specific role as a template inspiration. In addition, we include email auto-reply and recruiting video storyboard ideas as well to help accelerate your success.

We deliver this in a 90-minute review with the CEO and as many key leadership team members for maximum impact and team buy-in. This is a fun and engaging session you’ll be talking about for months.
