With the span of companies we service ranging from start-ups to publicly traded global corporations, I’ve fielded the Client question, "Why hire a professional recruiter"? from many different persperctives. The answer is not one size fits all. Hiring executives in larger companies partner with me to strategically target talent during a period of growth, change or to confidentially replace leadership. Smaller family owned businesses or startups may need our help to plan for succession, market opportunities, advise on organizational structure or identify a role that will align and deliver business goals.
Here are a few reasons why a partnership with Bishop yields a high return:
1) Time is money. We streamline the process with an in-depth analysis of the client company keeping an eye on short and long term goals to clearly identify the role. Only the top candidates are presented so the hiring authority in evaluating key, qualified and interested people. Interview coordination and close contact during the hiring phase and on-boarding also tightens process time.
2) Marketing is paramount in attracting top talent for your company. We’re representing your brand, strategic initiatives and big picture goals. Our approach is to communicate clearly the vision, history, and uniqueness of the company before discussing the role within.
3) The human factor is something to consider. Our candidates are making a weighty decision that likely affects family. Career moves are all about timing. We’re experienced in balancing what is important to each party to bring about a mutually satisfactory, timely outcome.
4) Bishop Partners is specialized and tapped into the talent pool. We're well known and respected. In most cases, our placements are currently employed and not active in the market. We are continuously connecting to a wide range of talent all over the US, so we can target specific players to bring to your table.
5) Bishop is trusted by Clients for discretion, dedication and consistently landing the best of the best.
