Professional search and selection services

Engaged search - hire strategically and effectively

ICON-ENGAGED-SEARCH

Engaged searches are research-focused and ideal for confidential and sensitive searches.

The engaged approach is meticulous, methodical, collaborative, and consultative.

Engaged search is a good entry point for clients looking for the same level of service as a retained search.

It is recommended for non-executive positions or enticing candidates with lateral career moves and is often used for niche technical and managerial appointments

Engaged search provides:

  • A 93% success rate
  • Lower costs than standard contingent pricing
  • Reduction in time to fill permanent roles by 14 days
  • Talent pool research and market intelligence on client perception and salary benchmarking
  • A mutually collaborative approach that meets the needs of both clients and candidates
  • A focus on cultural and organizational fit

Retained search

ICON-TA-EXECBOARD

A retained search is often associated with senior appointments. This may include executive appointments at the director to C-suite level. These are critical hires essential to achieving financial, strategic, and commercial goals.

Multi-Hire Campaigns

ICON-RPO-RECRUITMENT-PROCESS

When hiring in large quantities, internal HR teams may need additional support to oversee a mass hire project and to keep up with the ongoing daily duties.

Talent mapping

ICON-TALENT-MAPPING

A talent map provides targeted data and bespoke real-time market intelligence. This can be invaluable when hiring niche disciplines within a specific region.

This helps your HR teams reach the best candidates without adding workload or costs.

Deliverables

  • Dedicated discipline-specific research and recruitment team
  • Clear KPIs and delivery schedule
  • Significant reduction in cost and time to hire
  • Visibility of all research for each individual candidate identified

Compensation & Benefits Studies

ICON-COMPENSATION-BENEFITS

Benchmarking highlights market compensation trends and their impact on employee productivity and your ability to attract and retain top talent.

Airswift compiles a thorough expense and salary benchmarking to help you plan ahead. The process consists of all or a portion of the following:

  • Contractor Role Review
  • Job Title vs. Job
  • Job Duties vs. Market
  • Rate vs. Industry
  • Identification of Cost Savings

The results enable lean management of workforce planning, sourcing, performance, and risk.

However, Airswift managed to eliminate our concerns and has provided our company with exemplified service from our initial meeting to the final steps in the recruiting process.
