For the positions you haven't been able to fill
Our clients come from every industry. What they have in common is a position that is hard to fill. Positions usually stay open for one of four reasons:
The job description doesn't exist in the market.
No one does exactly this combination of work, so the right people are doing parts of it under other titles.
The location is a problem.
Few qualified people live nearby, or few are willing to move there.
The compensation doesn't match the market.
The people who can do the job earn something different today.
There are very few candidates.
So few people do this work that the chance of them seeing your posting is almost zero.
In each case, the candidates are not going to find you. The major part of our job is research: finding out where those people are working, identifying them by name, and contacting them directly to find out who is interested.
