If you're a current IT Leader, you've likely been approached by former colleagues seeking assistance while on the job hunt. While stating you're not actively hiring may be true, there are ways to creatively support them. In today's competitive IT Executive market, many professionals are exploring consulting for the first time. Your ongoing projects might benefit from their expertise or a simple catch-up conversation could be valuable. Consider sharing leads on open positions or recommended recruiters.

Preparing for the future, when IT demands increase, having a skilled team in place will be crucial. Are you ready with a pool of talented individuals when the time comes? #ITLeaders #CareerSupport #Consulting #Recruitment #FutureofITLeadership

Recruiting Leaders (VPs, Directors, etc.): If your organization has recruiting teams serving different business verticals, working in silos, do your best to break those down and build bridges from one group of recruiters to another. Why? ✔️You make your job easier, getting more eyes on your jobs, and creating another channel for talent to flow through. ✔️You open your candidates up to more opportunities. If your team doesn’t have a role for that amazing person you just met, your partnering team might. How do you do this? ✔️Share weekly open req report with one another. If you’re in recruitment, you’re most likely running these kinds of reports anyway. It’s easy to send it to one or two more people. ✔️Make time in your standing meetings to highlight key jobs across business verticals. Talk about the skills needed and how your partners can help. When recruiting, you want to open up your job to as many qualified professionals as possible. To do that, get yourself and your team out of those silos! 👍🏾 #howtohire #talentacquisition #recruiting #hiring

The executive search process is a collaborative effort, requiring close partnership between client organizations and headhunters to ensure the best candidates are hired. At LS International, we emphasize six key aspects to optimize this process: 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Ensure views between local leaders and corporate headquarters are aligned, especially in matrixed reporting relationships, to avoid biases. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Line Managers should engage deeply throughout the search to transfer tacit knowledge, review candidate profiles, and gauge team views. 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀: Agree on realistic timelines for each stage to foster accountability and manage dependencies effectively. 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: Look beyond known candidate databases and cast a wider net to meet specific role requirements. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱: Make swift decisions to secure in-demand candidates, especially in emerging areas like Digital and Analytics. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Opt for a retained search model to ensure the search firm goes beyond their call of duty, increasing the odds of finding the best fit. Navigating these aspects ensures a smooth search process and successful hiring outcomes. Let's work together to secure top talent for your organization. #ExecutiveSearch #TalentAcquisition #Leadership #LSInternational #Hiring

I have a confession. If you are a recruiter you may relate. Over my career I have seen a common trend: Recruitment, TA professionals and all levels of people leadership struggle to prioritize documenting their success! Why? They are taking care of the organizations they represent & the candidates they interact with. Over the last 4+ years the majority of my coaching clients have been all levels of People leadership. When I did outplacement coaching for an RPO I saw first hand how recruiters struggled to recall what they did, how they did it ect! I had to pull it out of them!! This year I was guilty of that very thing! 2 weeks before a contract ended, I realized I had not been doing a great job of tracking my KPI’s! From Jan-April I ended up filling 50 FTE roles. That is something to celebrate and document! 🎉 Think about: ✔️ Your process ✔️ Time to fill ✔️ Technology utilized ✔️ Processes improved ✔️ Partnerships established ✔️ Vendors onboarded & managed ✔️ Trainings created & executed With the role of the modern day recruiter quickly evolving the importance of documenting your process and metrics is imperative. We are on this journey together! Progress not perfection! — Today, I’m ready to rock n roll as I’m wrapping up a few searches and ready for our next project/search! Yay, getting more people to work! — Stay ready so you never have to get ready for a career transition! — #recruiterlife #jobsearch #careerbff

"𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧—𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫." This is something that I've heard numerous times from clients looking to hire execs and leaders, and there are 3 main reasons this could be happening: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Top talent looks for top compensation. If you want them to make a career move, your offer should be at or above the market rate for the role. Consider why someone would want to move, and budget accordingly. Lowballing or being below market rate will only negatively impact you throughout the process. 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡: In any industry, there are household names and awesome companies that people simply don't know about yet. Without brand awareness, getting the opportunity in front of your top talent becomes more challenging, whether through word of mouth or other platforms. Think of how you can best promote the opportunity—the more eyeballs you get on it, the more likely it is to reach your ideal candidate!

If someone doesn't check all of the boxes, they may be passed up and rejected, even though they might have indicators of being a top-tier candidate for the job. There are nuances to executive recruiting that can help you find the diamonds in the rough - consult an expert before starting your search, especially if you've had challenging hiring in the past. The good news - everything is figureoutable!

I partner with real estate companies focused on multifamily, property management, and CRE across the country and recruit top-tier, vetted talent and leaders for management and executive roles. Let's connect if you're preparing for a mid-level to an executive search and need a recruiting partner!

🔍 🕵️♀️ As an executive search recruiter, I often get asked how the approach differs from 'normal' recruitment. The key difference lies in the level of seniority and specialisation. Executive search focuses on finding top-tier talent for leadership roles, typically at Director/'C-suite' level, and requires a deep understanding of the industry and a vast network of high-level professionals. This means that the search process is more targeted, thorough, and tailored to the specific needs of the organisation/employer. It's not just about filling a position, but about finding the right strategic fit for the organisation and future success. 🌟 When working with me/CS Executive, candidates can expect a more personalised and confidential experience. The process is highly consultative, with a focus on understanding career goals, aspirations, and cultural fit. Additionally, we usually provide valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire hiring process, right from the initial consultation, through interview preparation/structure, to negotiation and successful onboarding. Overall, executive search is about building long-term partnerships and making strategic placements that drive business success. #ExecutiveSearch #TopTalent #LeadershipRoles
