"Do you guarantee to fill our vacancy?"

No.

"No?"

I guarantee to do the work.

"What does it matter if you do the work if you don't fill our vacancy?"

We'll agree on my approach at the start of the project. It could be a discreet executive search, an appropriate multichannel approach or something more specific to your needs.

I commit to the work, which can be around 80 to 100 hours and investing in the tools and resources necessary.

The outcome of which is filling 100% of vacancies over the past 3 years (for vacancies not cancelled by the economic climate).

However, it would be unrealistic to promise I'll fill your vacancy, given much of recruitment is out of our control.

I plan to do it well enough that you want me to recruit for you again, as it's a long term business relationship that benefits us both I look for.

Happy to chat through my process in as much, or as little detail, as you need. I like detail, though I appreciate you might just want results.

Just DM me, and we can talk.

"But we just need 5 CVs by Vendredi, that's how we normally work"

Working on a partnership basis isn't right for everyone. If you've everything right at your end and it's a straightforward vacancy, you don't need me - I'll see if I can recommend a more transactional recruiter.

Although... didn't you say this was a key vacancy?
