A Retained Executive Search represents a clear commitment from both sides and sends a strong message that the client highly values the opportunity. When time, complexity and confidentiality are critical, working with us on a retained basis is the best solution, and clients and candidates alike trust Oval Deene. We partner with our clients to identify, assess and select the very best possible candidates. We will build a bespoke campaign and act as an ambassador of your brand.

 

Retained recruitment is the most effective solution when salaries are high, suitable candidates are scarce and is most appropriate with hard-to-fill and senior vacancies. In the environment of large salaries, excellent benefits and high degrees of responsibilities, tact is essential and our consultants will go out of their way to ensure that confidentiality is maintained.

 

When working as a retained partner of Oval Deene’s, you will receive our standard exclusive service, plus the following additional benefits:

 

• Face-to-face initial consultation

• Exclusive access to Oval Deene candidates not known to be actively on the market

• Marketing of a bespoke campaign built for your brand on the Oval Deene website, advertising on social media platforms for maximum exposure, your vacancy will be marketed to all exclusive Oval Deene candidates

• Complete market access – our executive search allows us to map your market and target an industry specific network, not simply those responding to an advert or actively job seeking but those who are IN the market not just ON the market. The most talented and desired candidates are usually those looking for long-term opportunities rather than just their next career move, so this access is invaluable. Headhunting is the best method used for an executive search.

• Thorough screening of candidates based upon the essential and desired criteria established. Telephone/face-to-face/Skype interviews wherever possible

• Delivery of a candidate shortlist including candidate profiles in addition to CVs

• Assist and support with the interview process, provide post interview feedback and negotiation support such as offers, acceptance, contract, starting date.

• Ongoing support throughout the candidate’s probation period to ensure a smooth introduction to the business

• Working together to retain your STAR talent

• You are priority!

 

Clients should note that it costs no more to work with us on a retained basis we just ask for your 100% commitment in the form of an upfront fee in return for our equal commitment to you. Working on a retained basis ultimately strengthens the relationship between both parties as we work together to produce the outcome required.

 

We do not treat all searches the same, we customise each assignment to suits our clients needs…

 

“We listen, we assess. And then we deliver”
