Why hire a headhunting service?

Headhunting, or "talent hunting," is a specialized recruitment service that aims to find, rather than search for, talent for executive and/or strategic positions.

Generally, a company turns to a consulting firm when it is looking for a provider that offers this specialized headhunting service, as it faces the challenge of a new hire or a series of hires, but lacks experience in acquiring executive talent or does not have the capacity to complete the search, or simply, they have begun the recruitment process and soon realize that they face serious difficulties in identifying or hiring high-caliber candidates with specific knowledge and a defined cultural fit for the organization.

Luis Rosas, Managing Partner at Wiseplan, shares his experience, which stems from more than 12 years of dedication to this activity (at Wiseplan, we have helped our clients fill more than 900 positions for middle and senior management).

Luis Rosas concludes that a high-quality headhunting service significantly helps organizations to "think outside the box, " using specific strategies and creative methodologies, which clearly results in a better pool of pre-selected candidates, especially when the search involves a high degree of confidentiality because the position sought may generate "internal noise" and/or because the organization does not want to expose itself to its competitors, let alone expose its candidate to all the delicate aspects of the job transition between their current employer and the new employer.

Given the wide range of individuals and consulting firms offering headhunting services as if it were a commodity, Luis Rosas recommends that companies considering executive search services make the decision to entrust this task to a consulting firm with clear experience in attracting highly qualified and experienced senior managers and executives to perform strategically important roles within an organization.
