Is your company mounting an executive search?
Check with me first.
Leadership candidates: delivered up to 5,400% faster and at up to 84%* less than you’ll pay a retained search firm.
If you’re a client of mine, I can shorten the cost and duration of your company’s executive search by comparing your open leadership position to my own 20+ year, 1,800+ leadership network. I can also extend beyond my own network through partnership with peer boutiques.
Turnaround: Give me 3-5 days, and I’ll see if I have a potential candidate, including mutual permission to make the introduction.
What happens next: If your company hires the candidate I introduce, your company pays me 5%.
Compare that to a multi-month search and “30% of the first-year salary” paid to search firms like Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, Spencer Stuart, Russell Reynolds, Boyden, and you have unparalleled time and cost savings.
Why?
I limit Strategic Introductions to my private clients. I know the parties well because they’re both my client, so I know them on their technical skills, their motivations, and their goals.
If I can’t make a match, you’ve only lost 3-5 days
I also have incredibly deep insights because I’ve asked endless questions to help my clients get to their sweet spot, which means I know their strengths, weaknesses, and quietly intended next steps better than any search firm ever will.
Compare traditional executive search with my Strategic Introductions:
Why the savings?
First, it takes me only 3 to 5 business days to review your spec and determine whether I have a candidate or two who I can introduce to your company.
In doing so, I can save your company tens-of-thousands of dollars because my fee is far less than a search firms’s.
Why? Because I’m not actively recruiting. I’m not conducting a search. I’m digging deep into my own network and it’s not nearly as much work for me as it would be for them.
To make things even better, 80-85% of my clients aren’t immediately or actively looking for a job. Instead, they’ve reached an inflection point in their own professional lives and they’ve committed to taking stock of who they’ve become and where they want to go.
That brings a level of nuance to the matchmaking process that Strategic Introductions offer.
Candidates I identify are already quite successful. They’re already at the top of their game, which fulfills the “proven track record” requirement that every job description regurgitates.
They’ve invested in their long-term work-life happiness, which means they know what they do and don’t want. That’s powerful for your company—if a placement happens—because like you they’ve gone deep and been strategic about their own lives in the same ways they’re strategic about the companies for which they work.
Pair all of that with instincts I was recognized for in executive search—the same instincts that today let me peer around the corners of my clients’ professional lives to ask questions that get to the heart of various matters—and you have a unique composite of skills, experience, and connection that rival the biggest search firms.
Terms Overview (reach out for detailed agreement):
You must be a past client of The Redick Group or The Résumé Studio (former firm name) in order to participate. (Caveat: do not hire me as a private client with the hope or intention of me working as a recruiter for you. That’s not how this works.)
You will only be presented with other past clients of The Redick Group / The Résumé Studio (with their permission).
Introductions will be made only through mutual agreement on the part of both parties.
You and/or your company will solely handle all recruiting and hiring matters (e.g., interviewing, vetting, organizing, reference checking). The Résumé Studio is simply making an introduction.
Upon hire, your company will pay 5% of the first year salary for the position in question to The Résumé Studio.
You pay The Résumé Studio only if your company hires a candidate introduced by The Résumé Studio.
You may not engage The Résumé Studio for a Strategic Introduction if your company is currently under contract with a retained executive search firm.
You may be able to engage The Résumé Studio if you are currently under a non-exclusive contract with a contingency search firm or recruiting agency. Check any terms you may have signed.
If a candidate presented by The Résumé Studio is hired and later leaves your company for any reason, there is no refund, nor replacement.
The Strategic Introductions offering is not a recruiting program. It is simply an introduction that may result in a match.
*Eighty-four-percent savings is based on a retained search firm’s 33% fee of a successful candidate’s first-year salary, versus a Strategic Introduction, which is just 5% of the successful candidate’s first-year salary.
