How does Bergman Holt differ from traditional Executive Search?
Traditional Executive Search
Fees - Typically, recruitment agencies demand a percentage of the final agreed package with the candidate. This incentivises them to push candidates demanding the highest salaries.
Transparency - The biggest killer of recruitment and exec search relationships. Typically there is a long period of silence between the ‘search’ starting and the client seeing candidates. This is frustrating for companies that want to move quickly and scale.
Speed - Hand in hand with the above, if there’s no transparency, there’s no speed. Recruitment firms often take 6-8 weeks to provide clients with a shortlist of candidates, due to poor communication flows. This crates a sluggish hiring process overall.
At Bergman Holt
Fees - We charge a fixed fee. This means that organisations we partner with know the exact cost before anything has been signed, regardless of candidate package.
Transparency - At Bergman Holt, leading project management tools and Kanban boards are baked into our strategy. This allows you to see who we’re talking to & their terms at every stage of the hiring process, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.
Speed - Our level of transparency facilitates speed - something which sets us apart from other recruitment firms. Our average time between meeting our partners and providing a candidate shortlist is 3 weeks - and you can quote us on that!
