Why Retained Search? The Benefits of Working with SCi Partners.

What is retained search?

James Clemens, Group Marketing Manager

SCi Partners is a respected retained search firm where we are known for our expertise in executive search and leadership consulting. As our name suggests it is not only ‘Search’ and ‘Interims’ which we supply, we are also ‘Consultants’, rather than just sell you an out of the box solution we consult with you to ensure the best solution for your business.

So, why should I use retained search and not contingent search?

Access to top talent: Retained search firms have extensive networks and resources to identify and attract top talent for your organisation. They have access to candidates who may not be actively looking for new opportunities but are open to the right offer.

Expertise and experience: Retained search firms specialise in finding the right candidates for specific roles. They have deep industry knowledge and expertise in conducting comprehensive searches, which can save you time and resources.

Dedicated focus: Retained search firms work exclusively for you and prioritise your hiring needs. They dedicate time and resources to thoroughly understand your requirements and find the best possible candidates for your organisation.

Confidentiality: Retained search firms ensure confidentiality throughout the hiring process, especially for sensitive or high-level positions. They maintain discretion to protect your company’s reputation and the privacy of both candidates and clients.

Reduced time-to-hire: By leveraging their networks and expertise, retained search firms can streamline the hiring process and reduce the time it takes to fill a position. This is particularly important for critical roles where a prolonged vacancy could impact business operations.

Quality of hire: Retained search firms are motivated to find the best candidate for your organisation, not just any candidate. They conduct thorough evaluations and assessments to ensure that the candidates presented to you are a good fit in terms of skills, experience, and culture fit.

Overall, using a retained search firm can help you find the right talent efficiently and effectively, saving you time and resources while ensuring you make the best hiring decisions for your organisation.
