How do you know which search firm is right for your organization? It’s not a decision that can be made on paper alone. You want to qualify the firm for its expertise in your industry and the function of the job in question. Some firms specialize in certain sectors while others focus on specific capabilities, such as financial executives or health care leaders. AGI Recruiters often have a network of passive candidates whom we know well and can match to your company’s needs and challenges.
When selecting a firm, you should question them closely and aggressively. Who will lead the search—the partner who’s wooing you or an associate? Probe for details: Ask about the individuals who will make up the team and their backgrounds. Who’ll be doing the research, the sourcing and the initial interviews? What companies does the firm have to stay away from? AGI is contractually precluded from recruiting among existing or past clients for a certain period of time.
There are intangibles to consider… For AGI, there’s that sense of trust and open communication. The trust factor must be there… a personal fit. Our clients see us as an extension of the brand and as a real partner. Ask yourself: “Is this someone you can live in the trenches with?”
With AGI, it’s the person, not the firm you should be most concerned with. Before engaging withy our company, get to know us. How interested are we in getting to know you and your company? We should ask good questions and know a lot about your firm. All that goes to the heart of whether we’ll bring passion to the assignment. Respected!
