Retained Executive Search

When looking to find your next Senior Executive or recruiting to a post that requires a particularly niche skill-set, you may prefer us, a leading search consultancy, to act for you on a retained basis.

Whilst following the same diligent and focused process as when working on a ‘search and select’ assignment, we are able to dedicate increased time and resource to produce a deeper and more detailed analysis of the market and the needs of the client.  This includes undertaking a still more intensive screening and evaluation process, and providing full and thorough candidate profiles.  We also offer advice to our clients on the salary and benefits package attached to the post and the level of experience this is likely to attract.  When retained we are able to ensure less commercial downtime for our clients, often saving considerable cost to the business.

In addition to offering our proactive search service, fully utilising our network and ‘headhunting’ the best in the market, we can also, if desired, directly advertise the post, screening and selecting suitable candidates and alleviating a significant administrative burden from the client.  Alternatively we can offer a more discreet campaign, with no explicit advertising instead utilising a highly personal approach using discreet headhunting techniques, if preferred.

When acting on a retained basis, we also offer a range of complementary options designed to provide an enhanced level of support to the process.  These options include, if desired, interview training for the panel, attending throughout the panel interviews, provision of various materials to support the selection process (including interview questions devised around the ’competencies’ of the role and assessment score cards), advice on candidate assessment, enhanced due diligence, and more.

For further details on the services we provide on a retained basis, please contact us at enquiries@telferpartners.com or on +44 (0)1223 632510.

‘I interacted with Neil five years ago, when he reached out to me to see if I was interested in a role with the PLOS Publication Ethics team. Although I did not yet know so at the time, by reaching out that day Neil was instrumental in helping me find and land my dream job. The position was a perfect fit for my interests and skills, and I am incredibly greatful that Neil reached out to me about the role that day, as I did not know a role like mine existed at the time and I probably would not have searched for anything like it myself.

Throughout the process Neil was very helpful in providing the job description and application information, as well as introducing me to the hiring manager, guiding me through the application process, and helping schedule interviews at a time that worked well for me. He made sure I had all the information I needed for my interviews, including travel guidance and parking information, and he kept me updated on the progress of my application at all times. When I eventually started working at PLOS, Neil checked in with me to see how I was doing and whether I enjoyed the role.

I had a great experience interacting with Neil throughout the application process, and I frequently think back about how lucky I was that he matched me to the role five years ago. I recommend his services to anyone looking for a next job, or a new hire, in the publishing industry. Who knows, he might just help you find your dream job next!’
