RESEARCH CONSULTING FOR EXECUTIVE SEARCH - THE ALTERNATIVE
Research consultants for executive search are experienced professionals usually with a background in executive search or human resources. Through an intricate network of previous professional contacts, extensive research in Dun & Bradstreet and other commercial/industrial directories and hours of telephone inquiries, the researcher constructs a list of highly qualified individuals.

Research consulting for executive search seeks out the best candidates to fill the position, working from a group of employed, experienced people. If requested by the client, a researcher can conduct background and reference checks and verifies the candidate's credentials.

We live in an age of specialists; professional researchers who offer unique talents that a corporate human resource department cannot come close to competing with. These departments are ill equipped to handle the intensive research process required to fill a top-level, highly specialized executive position. Using research consulting for executive search as an outsourcing company frees the department staff to do other priority activities. When provided with a pre-screened list of quality interested candidates, the human resources department can provide the rest of the required services: interviewing, final screening and selection of the new employee. Working in tandem with a researcher, human resources can work on filling several positions concurrently. The company pays on an hourly basis and does not pay more for multiple searches in the same functionality.

COST EFFECTIVENESS
By utilizing research consulting for executive search, your firm can save thousands of dollars in employment search fees, handling the bulk of the project internally and leaving the time-consuming, labor-intensive research process to specialists.

While research time varies for specific employment fields and positions, the average executive research project will require between 65 to 90 hours of work; the entire candidate list can be generated for less than $12,000 versus $33,000 or more for executive search firm services.

It does not make economic sense to pay for a service that a company can handle internally. Conversely, it does not pay to attempt something complicated that is easily accomplished by a specialist.
