The Value of Retained Search When it comes to executive hiring, not all search firms are created equal. The key difference? The top firms are always retained. Why? Because retained search firms invest time, resources, and expertise to ensure a strategic fit, acting as dedicated partners throughout the process. This isn’t about rushing to fill a seat—it’s about securing the right leader who aligns with your company’s future. #ExecutiveSearch #RetainedSearch #LeadershipMatters

The Difference Between Retained and Contingent Search When you need to fill a leadership position, who can help find the right candidate for the role? Recruiting companies fall into one of two camps, either retained search or contingent search firms. Understanding how these approaches differ is key in determining which is a better fit for your hiring needs. https://hubs.ly/Q02hXm1p0 #cfoselections

MODEL MEMBER: Like many of the #recruiters who we’ve inducted so far, Donna Carroll, CPC of Systems Personnel in Southwick, Massachusetts has earned the distinction for multiple reasons. One reason: Donna made 150 Network placements during her tenure in Top Echelon Network. A second reason: She made over 50 of those split placements with the same recruiter! That recruiter? You might recognize him because it’s Gary Silver of The Shay Group, who is also a 2024 inductee into the Top Echelon Hall of Fame! The trading partner relationship that Donna and Gary built and cultivated is the type of relationship to which all Network #recruiters should aspire. Here’s what Donna had to say about her trading partner relationship with Gary after they made their 50th split together: “I believe the reason cited for our split placements—regular communication—is exactly the reason our trading partner relationship works so well. Not only do we share all of the details regarding our searches and candidates, but we also involve one another in our client relationships. Gary and I have often introduced one another to our clients and included the other on conference calls with our clients. “This level of trust comes from years of cooperative work and understanding each other’s business philosophy. It also enables us to be a sounding board for the other when we need a second opinion or some advice on how to handle a particular situation. Were it not for our regular communication over the years, we would not have developed this level of trust that is the root of our success together.” In addition to her production within Top Echelon’s #recruiting network, Donna also made well over 50 contract placements with Top Echelon Contracting (now Foxhire). And it should not surprise you that some of those contract placements were splits with Gary Silver! “Donna Carroll was a model Network member throughout her tenure in TE,” said Top Echelon President Mark Demaree. “She was a consummate professional and embraced the best practices and philosophies of Top Echelon Network.” We at Top Echelon are pleased to announce the induction of Donna Carroll into the Top Echelon Hall of Fame as a member of the 2024 class! https://ow.ly/IgmM50SMrVG #TEEpicSummer #TopEchelonHOF #ExecutiveSearch #SearchConsultants #Recruitment

Working with an executive search firm that specializes in higher education leadership can reduce the timeframe it would take to find the right talent. By utilizing a larger, more diverse pool of candidates and an efficient screening process, executive search firms allow institutions to find the right candidate much sooner than if they kept the hiring process in-house only. #ExecutiveSearch #HigherEdLeadership #LeadershipRecruitment #HigherEdExecSearch #HigherEdTalent #ExecutiveSearchFirm

Another amazing review for Elisabeth Podhaskie and Harrison Gray Search & Consulting.

Recruiting and sales are fundamentally intertwined - the impression you leave matters and can set the tone for all future interactions one has with this company.
