Find the people that are hard to find faster.
Ultimately, you can narrow down the reasons for using a recruiter exclusively down
to two words:
ACCOUNTABILITY & PARTNERSHIP.
SO WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE DISCUSS EXCLUSIVITY SEARCH?
Working exclusively means selecting one recruiter to work with on your recruitment projects
on an ‘exclusive’ basis for an agreed period of time.
An exclusive relationship should mean that more time is spent on your roles, with greater
knowledge of your company and requirements, with more accountability for filling them,
resulting in a greater chance of the role being filled with the right person.
A partnership whereby the Recruiter has time to take a full brief and challenge it, talk
about what works for you, and ask what hasn’t and why.
Your Recruitment partner should be able to present candidates that fit your business,
not just the brief, and then tell you why.
You receive a brief on candidates, their story, why they’re looking, what they’re looking
for, why they would be a good fit (or not), not just a sent CV.
There should be constant updates on the progress of your search, working towards an
agreed plan, timescale, and measurables.
You get feedback on the market and hires, requirements and process; most companies
know what they do, a good recruiter knows what the market does. Honesty is key, let’s
set realistic expectations from the start.

WHEN IS A EXCLUSIVE SEARCH MOST APPROPRIATE?
In my experience retained searches are most commonly used when internal methods of
attracting candidates have been exhausted and recruiters used on a contingency have also
failed to deliver the desired results.
However, a retained search could and should be considered as your chosen method of
search in far more scenarios than this. For example, the below scenario’s have been reasons
that clients I have worked with previously have decided to successfully use a retained
search:
Their vacancy was a highly specialist role with a limited number of suitable candidates in
the market place
They had a very strict timeline to their recruitment process
Their vacancy was a Director level appointment
The hiring company was a smaller, niche employer struggling to attract applicants; often
losing candidates to larger and more recognised competitors in the market
I have worked with the employer for a sustained period of time and have a strong
rapport with the management team and they have confidence in me to exclusively sell
their business to prospective candidates
