We used We Search People for two Retained searches earlier this year, VP of Construction & Superintendent. They were highly engaged, diligent, communicated often, course corrected as we collectively met candidates and gave feedback on them, and most importantly, delivered us our outstanding hires.
We Search People has legitimately renewed my belief in the use of recruiters! Their operation has been a radically different experience to the other half a dozen recruiters I had worked with. Gone is the endless onslaught of marginal resumes, replaced with a small, well curated shortlist of quality candidates! The team works closely with me on exactly what I’m looking for, really takes the time on vetting, and never wastes any time with clear mismatches. I highly recommend We Search People for your staffing needs!
I have to say that I love working with the We Search People team! It is easy to go back and forth and tweak what we are exactly looking for in an candidate and the follow up is excellent. Since we have started with him and We Search People, we have hired 3 candidates that are still with us today. I look forward to hiring more employees through We Search People as our company continues to grow.
Every single resume that you provided as a solid candidate. We quickly and efficiently scheduled the interviews, and we landed on our best opportunity. Frankly, we had several good options and landed on Robert, who is a perfect fit. Typically, the process is like drinking from a fire hose. In this case, it was a pleasure and a relationship that we will continue going forward. We thank you for guiding us through the process and appreciate your teams hard work. We will look forward to a future of helping us navigate the future.
We recently engaged We Search People on a nationwide CEO search, to run our $100 million construction company. We had been searching for the right CEO with two previous recruitment agencies, both had done OK… But weren’t able to provide the right candidate for our team. They took the time to ask questions that went beyond the skill set needed, and into what life looks like in our organization, the culture, personality needs, and how we would define success for a new CEO. Within a month, he had provided two high-quality candidates that exceeded our expectations, and actually made our decision on whom to hire - challenging. We are beyond thankful, and look forward to a continued relationship for years to come.
This company had been looking for a PX for over 6 months, having worked with numerous staffing agencies on a contingency basis. The resumes they received did not have the experience they were looking for, and the staffing agencies gave up on the position.
We discussed our Retained Search ‘True Partnership’ with the client, and both agreed that this was the best route to finding them quality candidates for the role. With their upfront commitment, we were able to dedicate extra resources to the search and really open up the passive candidate market – speaking with multiple candidates who were not actively looking for a new role but were open to having a conversation.
After providing a shortlist of qualified candidates to the client, we arranged interviews with 4 candidates and subsequently placed an outstanding Project Executive from a competitor of theirs who has gone on to be a huge success. All of our searches with this client are now on a Retained basis.
