Traditional contingency recruitment is fast-paced and competitive, with multiple agencies often working simultaneously to fill roles. This approach can be highly effective for straightforward or high-volume hiring, providing speed and flexibility. In contrast, my tailored headhunting service takes a more strategic approach, focusing on passive candidates and uncovering hidden talent across the market, evaluating fit thoroughly, and delivering stronger long-term outcomes.
