What is Engaged Search?
Engaged Search: our enhanced service offering
Priority, attention, and care
When finding new hires, there are generally two search approaches, Contingent Search and Engaged Search. Contingent or Passive Search involves posting a job and waiting for applications to come in. Contingent Search often finds transient employees who are always job hunting.
Contingent Search
Because of its nature, Contingent Search can have a lower success rate. There are several factors involved:
There are higher rates of competition for broad roles. More recruiting firms are circling candidate pools with other offers.
These positions don't require the whole level of applied focus and vetting that an engaged search would. This broad approach will often receive the most available candidate for the job rather than the most perfectly tailored for the candidate.
Engaged Search
Engaged Search, on the other hand, provides access to the passive candidate market that makes up roughly 80% of job seekers. If presented with the right opportunity, those who would consider making a move. Our team finds those individuals and starts those conversations. Working with engaged employees means we continuously find A-Players who are great at what they do, want to work, and would be an asset to any organization.
