Passive candidates
Target talent beyond job advertisements and actively looking candidates
Our Executive Search practice is one of Serena Advisory's core businesses. Our team has developed a deep knowledge and expertise in identifying and approaching passive candidates who are not actively looking for a new job opportunity. We bring an added value to your search by developing a high understanding of role, industry, and your business' specifics. This helps us define the most efficient approach that will enable us to aim for the right potential candidates right away.
We understand that every search is unique, and we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we provide a different and proactive methodology that maximizes your chances of finding the best fit for your requirements. We don't simply replicate your efforts by using the same candidate acquisition channels. Instead, we leverage our extensive network and resources to identify and approach the most qualified candidates based on your specific requirements. We work closely with you as our customer to understand the expertise you are looking for and assess the market against that expertise being available. Based on that understanding, we target hand-picked potential candidates that we have identified to approach them with the right arguments for them to engage in the hiring process.
4-steps approach
Our 4-steps approach is thus proactive and tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that we find the best fit for your requirements by targeting a passive candidate pool:
- Analyze & define
We analyse job and profile requirements together with you, and we define a „hunting ground“ to target the right candidates straight away. We analyze the context of the recruitment and information that can/should be disclosed to potential candidates in the next steps. - Identify & contact
We launch potential candidate identification on the defined ground and contact the most in line with profile requirements. We provide you with regular updates on progress of the project. - Presentation of shortlisted candidates
The selected candidates will be shortlisted and presented to you, including a resume, detailed interview report and a personality profile report. - Closing and follow-up
We can assist and facilitate closing discussions with the selected candidate(s) and ensure proper closing of the assignment providing feedback to all candidates in the process.
