"Why
can't I get sourcing capabilities of an executive search firm
without paying astronomical fees?"
That was the question that started it all.
It seemed like a very fair question posed by a member of the executive
leadership team. Nobody had the answer. Until now. Our
founders took a "best of the best" approach to building our company.
The Approach
Fortunately for us, they had the right combination of experience and
expertise in virtually every aspect
of recruiting and staffing that they were able to build from ground up
a service model that addresses the two most important measurements
- time-to-fill and quality of hire. Click on the chart

to the right to see what makes us different.
The Experience
Unlike
many other recruiting resources, the principals at Virtual Recruiters have:
-
Real-world success leading talent acquisition
functions
-
Best
practice expertise in executive search (retained and
contingency)
-
Long-term familiarity with corporate recruiting environments
-
Proven staffing approaches learned "in the trenches"
-
Expert recruiter training skills including "direct sourcing"
techniques
-
Advanced
internet recruiting and data mining capabilities
The Model
Our business model is closer to a
management consulting firm or legal practice, except without up front
retainer fees. Our rates are much more reasonable than other methods,
and are primarily based on the complexity of search
assignments. This rate is about the same as a company might pay
sourcing or research organizations that only deliver names on a list.
And if you consider the markup costs associated with having another
firm payroll senior level contract recruiters, then you can see the
value proposition of using a resource with our mature recruit process,
attention to candidate quality, and "do what it takes" mentality.
Not to mention we absolutely love what we do!
That is the Virtual Recruiter difference.
