As they grow, many firms–especially small and medium-sized ones–need to hire managers and employees with highly specialized skills, but frequently, senior managers or owners of those firms don’t possess the necessary technical skills to properly screen or evaluate candidates for their technical knowledge.
That’s where we can help.
We have subject matter expertise in several fields, including accounting, finance, strategy, and information systems and technology, and can help find the right candidate–the first time.
When engaging a recruiter to help identify competent candidates, the recruiter’s subject matter expertise across fields is especially important for small-to-medium-sized organizations. That’s because in those organizations, no successful employee can work in isolation; so, besides having deep knowledge in his or her own field, they must also have broad knowledge across fields (to be able to integrate well with the rest of the organization).
Finally, when conducting searches for such firms and organizations, it is crucial to find candidates who not only have expertise but also are willing to apply it themselves, i.e., do the grunt work. Past performance isn’t an indication of future success if past performance involved managing a team of sixty, and the team at your firm consists of one.
