Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers about the application process and finding the right vacancies. We have summarized the most important information you need to be successful in your search.
No, Personnel Search only works retained.
Working with a retainer or mediation fee means that a client pays a fixed amount for the services still to be provided. One part, usually half, is paid prior to the start of the assignment, the second part after placement of a candidate and signing of the employment contract. Instead of a non-binding success fee, as with no cure no pay, you pay for a best efforts obligation with a high chance of success and guaranteed personal attention and commitment.
Good recruitment takes time, and therefore money. In order to deliver the quality that clients expect from us, we only work retained.
Personnel Search intensively examines your organization and the vacancy, and recruits candidates exclusively for your organization. There is more control and control over the recruitment and selection process and you regularly stay informed of the progress. Because of the fixed fee you have paid, you can count on commitment and personal attention from your recruiter.
Because Personnel Search works retained, we can also give you independent and reliable advice on the feasibility of the vacancy and salary. Unlike no cure no pay agencies, which base their commission on the annual salary of the placed candidate.
No. Personnel Search chooses to only recruit exclusively for the vacancies outsourced to us. This means that no other recruitment agency recruits for the same vacancies.
Exclusive recruitment means that we recruit candidates for specifically your vacancy and your organization. When we introduce a candidate to you, we have informed them extensively about your organization, what you stand for, and what the actual activities of the position are. The IT specialist therefore clearly knows for which organization we are recruiting and also wants to work for your organization. This is at odds with the no cure no pay approach, where CVs are forwarded to dozens of companies both requested and unsolicited. As a result, both candidate and company do not know whether they fit together, or companies have to bid against each other to get the candidate on board. This often quickly leads to a mismatch – a waste of valuable time for everyone involved. That is why we only recruit exclusively, so that we can recruit with personal attention and commitment for your organization and your IT vacancies.
No. The exclusive recruitment only applies to the specific vacancies that you have outsourced to Personnel Search. All other vacancies of your organization can simply be searched by other recruiters and / or agencies.
One of the core values of Personnel Search is sustainable cooperation. We enter into long-term partnerships with our clients. That is why we would like to know more about you and your organization. Then we can also make a well-considered choice to start a collaboration. In addition, we like it if we can explain our working method in a personal conversation, so that you have a good idea of what you can expect.
