New Recruits.



If you’ve never used an executive recruitment service, you may be wondering what value we can bring to your hiring process. We’re here with the answer…..three of them, in fact


When we begin working with many of our clients, they’ve already worked with other recruiters and have chosen to trust us with their business (which of course we love). From time to time, we have the opportunity to start working with a client who hasn’t worked with a recruiter before. If you’re in that position, and just beginning to consider using a firm to support your recruitment efforts, this is for you.


The value our services provide our clients can be captured in three S’s.


Specialisation

Recruiting isn’t just one of the things we do, it’s all we do. Choosing to work with a recruiter is like engaging a real estate agent to sell a property, or an accountant to handle your books. Just like those experts, we’re specialists in identifying and evaluating candidates. With time and experience, recruiting becomes a blend of art and science. We have that experience. It begins with the very first contact we make with a prospective candidate, building rapport and forming a relationship, and asking skilful and targeted questions that help us understand their abilities and attributes. It continues with the in-depth interview and evaluation process we undertake, gaining a deeper understanding of the candidate’s experience and track record of results. We also take the time to get to know and understand the kind of company that would bring out their best, so we can create the long-term high-performance fit our clients look for in the people they hire. And of course, we manage and coordinate the hiring process itself, covering all the details to ensure that when you’ve selected your chosen candidate, they’re ready to accept your offer. That’s what it means to work with the specialists.


Selection

When a company hiring for a position goes directly to the market for candidates, their selection is generally limited to the candidates they can contact within that recruitment timeframe: the candidates who see their posting and choose – at that very moment – to take the time to apply. Have you ever considered how many candidates – possibly ideal ones – you may be missing out on? High performers don’t always scan job postings, and when they do, they often won’t make a snap decision to apply. The recruitment of these individuals happens over time; it’s often several conversations before they decide to move ahead. We are always in the market, continually building and nurturing our relationships with those highly skilled candidates, keeping our finger on the pulse of the talent pool, all on our clients’ behalf. Because of this, we’re often able to present candidates that wouldn’t be available to our clients at all, if they weren’t working with us.


Savings

Time and money are two precious commodities for every business, and the recruitment process is time-consuming by definition. Reviewing all those resumes and cover letters, trying to find – as quickly and efficiently as possible – the needles you’re looking for in the haystack. Scheduling and making screening calls to rule unsuitable applicants out. Coordinating interviews; difficult enough when it’s only your calendar and theirs, but nearly impossible at times with several others involved. The list goes on. Let us take that off your plate so that you can focus on the multitude of other priorities that consume your day. Working with us, our client’s time is spent only on the highest-value parts of the recruitment process: reviewing only vetted applications, and meeting with a short list of fully qualified candidates to make your final selections. What is the monetary value of the time we could save you?


Our specialisation in Executive Recruitment Search and Selection gives our clients access to the best selection of candidates for their needs, saving them time and money and allowing them to do what they do best. If you’re new to the idea of working with recruiters, we’d love to speak with you and help make the decision an easier one. Contact Us Today

Technology continues to be one of the biggest catalysts for change and growth. It stands to reason that Food and beverage manufacturers who fail to embrace technology risk falling behind. But here’s a question: How crucial is it for a CEO to truly understand technology and how it can transform business? Isn’t this the responsibility of the CIO? Yes. But I’m finding that technology isn’t just for the IT department anymore—CEOs and senior leaders must understand how AI, IoT, and automation can reshape everything from supply chains and customer experiences to sustainability and regulatory compliance. Perhaps it’s time to ask yourself: Do you have a CEO who just oversees operations, or one who sees tech as a strategic enabler for growth? Do they see AI, automation, and data as critical growth drivers? Do they have a history of using technology to improve operations and customer experiences? How comfortable are they relying on data and real-time analytics to make Data-Driven Decisions? Do they understand how technology decisions impact compliance and industry regulations? Do they work effectively across all departments to ensure alignment of technology with business goals? If the answer to these questions is no. It might be time to ask – Can a CEO still be effective without tech expertise? Or does a lack of it risk stalling innovation?  Contact us today for a confidential discussion on how ELR Executive can can deliver leaders that can drive your business forward.
