Thanks for dropping by SD Talent. My name is Shane Donohoe and I am excited to be telling you about our fixed price search fees inclusive of our Executive Search, Selection and Onboarding service.
Working alongside SD Talent you will control your costs; enhance your hiring decisions; and improve performance outcomes strategically.
Fixed Price Search Fees – no percentages!
Fixed price search fees
Have you ever challenged why search firms charge exorbitant fees. They base them on a percentage of the new employee’s remuneration package. No other business can get away with that and nor should they!
We can also confirm from extensive first-hand experience that Executive Search is not rocket science!
• We have worked in search firms where they charge ridiculous fees. An insult to any intelligence!
• We offer thorough mapping and review of your candidate market and comprehensive assessment of suitable candidates. Our follow through with onboard coaching establishes a fast track to success for your newest executive.
• Our professional processes enable your hiring decision to support your business strategy with confidence.
• Our model offers you the choice of the services you require to support your hiring decision, and the transparency to know what you are paying for. All costs are agreed and fixed up front.
• Our flexible model supports the opportunity to collaborate and integrate our services with your internal team where they have the capacity and capability to do so.
Comprehensive and professional executive recruitment processes:
• Our market mapping reflects your candidate environment. From the “long list” created you will have options for how you wish to proceed with your candidates.
• Our Interviews are conducted utilising competency based behavioural questions. We are investigating the candidates’ values, skills, and their ability to perform effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily within your environment.
• For critical roles, in order to better understand the candidates’ preferred work style and motivation , Psychometric assessments provide the insight to support hiring decisions. Success in role is primarily attributed to “hiring for fit” for the organisation rather than skills alone. So we go the extra mile to ensure “fit” as part of the service.
• Risk exposure to fraud through the hiring decision can be mitigated with standardised qualification and criminal checks at the outset.
• Support with your interviews either in person, arranging interviews or in preparation of questions are all available.
• Once an employee agrees and accepts the offer of your role, the work begins to ensure they remain excited and satisfied with their decision to join your organisation. Over 25% of employees at this point change their minds within the first month. This can be due to simple things. Effective induction processes and onboarding coaching are critical to ensuring the relationship is productive and rewarding for both parties. We offer comprehensive support and coaching to ensure all the work of sourcing, assessing and selecting the right candidate delivers your return on investment.
Market Mapping includes comprehensive coverage of your potential candidate market:
A number of times our clients will start the conversation by saying that they know all the right people to contact for this role. They certainly do know people who are doing or have done this role in other organisations. Our job is to conduct a full scan of the market you describe and provide a map of all the people who are within scope for consideration. This will reveal those who are not ready for this role immediately, those who are doing similar roles, and those who this role could structurally report to. They may be located in the same city, or will require relocation nationally or internationally. Their function may have nuances which suit your anticipated future strategic planning. And vice versa, while they may hold the same title, their role may be totally foreign to your requirements.
• Taking a comprehensive brief at the outset is critical to confirm the market you would like us to research for your review.
• What we call the “Long List” will be reviewed with you before any details of your organisation are revealed to the market. This will also include tapping into your networks to understand their current interest.
• Because you get to keep the “long list”, you are free to take things from here. You have the opportunity to open the conversations directly or to engage us to complete the assessment process identifying those who best suit your organisation. You have the added option of being able to consider making multiple appointments from the one researched list of candidates.
Flexibility to choose the executive recruitment services your role deserves:
Whether you have an internal resourcing team to support this process fully, partially or not at all, we are keen to add value where we can with fixed rice search fees. We have strong backgrounds in executive search and coaching and can fit into your capability model as the need dictates.
• Where your role is critical to the organisation in terms of business strategy, revenue impact or organisational capability the strategic decision to hire requires the utmost rigor. Comprehensive, thorough identification without fear or favour; high touch assessment processes; and supportive onboarding will enable the successful outcome required. All a a fixed price search fee!
