At Adilstone Group we have four core values: integrity, transparency, people-first tenacity, and extraordinary work. We use these values to reimagine recruiting to create ideal matches for our clients and candidates. Essentially, we value using a comprehensive approach to recruitment and talent acquisition.  Recruiting top-tier talent is akin to an intricate dance that requires finesse, strategy, and a deep understanding of the people and market. In this pursuit, one of the key solutions we offer at Adilstone is what is referred to as “retained search”. 

You can learn more about our Retained Search services on our website, but basically retained recruiting is our premium and highly-specialized approach to talent acquisition that focuses on building an exclusive partnership between the clients and Adilstone.

Unlike traditional contingency recruiting, where multiple firms compete to fill a position, retained recruiting ensures we can dedicate and tailor a recruiting process with a singular focus on securing your ideal talent matches. This exclusive engagement signifies a commitment from both parties to find the perfect candidate for the job.

Why Choose a Retainer?
 

  1. Priority Attention: One of the primary advantages of using Retained Search services is that it signals your commitment to the recruiting partner. This typically results in clients receiving top priority, as the agency dedicates more time, effort, and resources to the client’s specific needs.
  2. Access to Passive Talent: Adilstone’s Retained Search services excel because our recruiters are identifying and approaching passive candidates – those who may not be actively seeking a new role but are open to the right opportunity. This access to a hidden talent pool can be invaluable.
  3. Tailored Search: Retainers enable a more customized search approach. Adilstone can thoroughly understand our client’s culture, values, and specific requirements, leading to a higher likelihood of finding candidates who are not only qualified but also a perfect fit.
  4. Confidentiality: When filling sensitive or executive-level positions, confidentiality is paramount. Adilstone recruiters are well-versed in handling discreet searches, ensuring our client’s reputation remains intact.

The Retainer Process

Now that you know why Retained Search services are advantageous, let's explore the typical process involved:
 

  1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation between prospective clients and Adilstone Group. Both parties align on expectations, timelines, and deliverables during this phase.
  2. Client Onboarding: Adilstone dives deep into understanding our client’s needs, culture, and the specific qualifications required for the position. This step is crucial for a successful search.
  3. Market Research: Adilstone conducts extensive market research to identify potential candidates both inside and outside our client’s industry. This phase may involve mapping out competitor organizations and evaluating their talent pool.
  4. Candidate Assessment: Adilstone recruiters interview and assess potential candidates, narrowing down the list to those who best fit the profile.
  5. Client Interviews: Shortlisted candidates are presented to our clients for interviews. The Adilstone recruiter may assist in coordinating these meetings.
  6. Offer Negotiation and Onboarding: Adilstone often helps with offer negotiations once a candidate is selected and ensures a smooth onboarding process.

In Conclusion

The art of Retained Search services in recruiting and talent acquisition is a strategic approach to finding ideal matches for your organization. By forging an exclusive partnership with Adilstone, clients gain priority attention, access to passive talent, and a tailored search process that aligns with their organization's unique needs.

While Retained Search services may come with a higher price tag, the return on investment often justifies the cost, as clients secure top-tier talent that can be highly impactful and often transformative. So, the next time you embark on a critical hiring mission, consider the solution of a Retained Search with Adilstone as a powerful tool in your talent acquisition arsenal.

Three Benefits of Partnering with a Professional Recruiting Firm
In today’s world, hiring can be tough. With a limited candidate pool to pull from but an endless sea of recruiters, it can be hard to find and connect with the right talent. In a tight labor market like the one we’re seeing currently, jobseekers have the luxury of being picky. If they don’t like one company’s job offer, they can easily find another. But what makes an applicant choose one job over another? According to pwc, it turns out that as many as 49% of candidates decline a job offer due to a bad recruiting experience.  Making good impressions on applicants at each point of contact is essential. Unfortunately, the standard that most jobseekers expect can be hard to achieve. Some companies find that they don’t have enough time, money, or employees to devote toward the hiring process. In fact, it costs about $4,700 on average to hire an employee and takes about 39 days from start to finish according to Zippia. There’s a lot of costs associated with hiring that aren’t always account for either such as the cost of job board postings, advertisements, sign-on bonuses, employee relocation, and more (What Is The Cost Of Hiring Employees). Sometimes companies find increased recruiting success in correcting their internalized processes, but many continue to struggle with finding and retaining good employees. When you’re faced with these challenges and feel like nothing is working, you might want to consider outsourcing your hiring process. Partnering with a professional recruiting firm is a sure way to see improvement in the efficiency and efficacy of recruitment at your company. If you need to be convinced, here are the top three reasons you should hire a professional recruiting firm. It will save you a whole lot of time and money. As mentioned before, hiring a new employee is a costly and time consuming endeavor. Partnering with a recruiting firm will save you a ton of time and a lot of money in the long run. Those extra resources that you save can be funneled into other projects and operations that are essential to your business. Recruiting firms have access to data and talent that you may not. Not only will you be saving time and money, but gaining access to new resources as well. The biggest benefit that recruiting firms bring to the table is their expertise and access to key market data and unique hiring pools. These firms have tens of thousands of connections in various industries and are skilled at sifting through applicants to find talent that fits with your company.  You can gain credibility as a company. For smaller businesses or startups, partnering with a professional recruiting firm can bring more visibility and credibility to your company. Since many of these firms have been in the business for awhile, they have accumulated a reputation, and you can use this to your advantage. Working closely with a reputable recruiting firm will signal that you are also a trustworthy company, and will also help grow awareness for your brand. There are countless benefits to hiring a recruiting firm, and many ways in which it can add value to your company. But while all businesses can gain from a partnership with one of these firms, there are a few indicators of companies that should absolutely hire recruiting firms to avoid significant losses. For example, if you’re a smaller company with a workforce that is stretched thin, partnering with a recruiting firm can help you to free up your current employees for more important tasks. If you do decide to internalize the hiring process, it could lead to much longer wait times for applicants and a more stressful experience.  As mentioned before, increased credibility is a benefit of hiring a recruiting firm, so startup businesses should also consider partnering with one of these firms. If you’re just starting out, this is a sure way to put your company on the map and to potentially receive endorsements.  Finally, if you’re any company that is seeing low job acceptance rates or high turnover rates, you should consider hiring a professional recruiting firm. Often these companies have crucial insights into the hiring process and they can help determine the cause of these issues. Because they specialize specifically in hiring, recruiting firms are well equipped to help you find candidates who are a good fit for your company and who will stay long term.  If you decide that hiring a recruiting firm is right for you, the next step is finding one that fits best with your company. There are all kids of these businesses out there with different prices, specialties, and experience. Some may specialize in recruitment within a specific industry, while others are more broadly focused.
