We are all vaguely familiar with the term “recruitment”, but what is the real distinction between typical recruitment (Contingent Recruitment) and Executive search?

Well, the answer lies within the process. Whilst recruitment can be passive and somewhat of a generic process, Executive Search is carried out with a lot of thoughtful, intentional care.

Tailored measures are taken throughout the hiring process to make sure both client and candidate are mutually satisfied. In the beginning, this involves a lot of time taken to thoroughly understand the client’s needs, current and long-term. That same level of attention to detail is then mirrored in the process of finding a suitable “candidate” – someone who is only interested in a worthwhile opportunity over a mere career change.

At FSP, we pride ourselves on our commitment in providing personal coaching to both client and candidate as we guide them through the transition. Clients are frequently kept updated on our progress through meetings; candidates are regularly contacted to make sure they are aware of the next stage.

Change is never easy and the process of obtaining a new opportunity comes with many challenges. From interview preparation to resignation, we at FSP are with you every step of the way, ensuring you are plentifully supported through these difficult conversations.

As we specialise in recruiting senior-level talent, a specified approach brought about by a particular interest within your skillset will always makes for a desired phone-call over a standard cold-call aimed at anyone patient enough to listen.
