Executive Recruiting Services
A successful executive recruiting project starts with a strong client relationship. There are two critical players in the
hiring process from the client side and a cast of supporting characters. Human Resources and the direct hiring manager are
the drivers of the process and it is essential for us to understand their requirements, not only in terms of the objective
requirements but even more importantly, the subjective side of the process - the "fit" between a candidate and the culture of
the organization. Studies have shown that when people fail in a new position, it's not because of their technical or
functional ability - it's because there is lack of alignment with the corporate culture.
Whether we're working on a retained or contingent executive recruiting project or on a
permanent or temporary staffing assignment, you can count on DerrJones to provide you with
exceptional service throughout the search process. Here's what you can expect:
- Regular communication on the status of the assignment.
- Market intelligence. We'll let you know what we're hearing about your company and the opportunity in the marketplace.
- Presentation of candidates who fit your requirements. This means candidates who have the skills you're looking for as well
as candidates who will be a good fit with your organizational culture.
- Candidates who are highly committed to the prospect of working for your organization.
- Candidates who understand the salary range for the position.
Sometimes our clients are looking for a little extra help with a staffing project. Our consulting
services provide services that are custom tailored to your needs. We can "unbundle" our services in many ways. If you need help
screening resumes, interviewing, checking references, or developing a perpetual candidate pool, we can help. Our pricing
varies based on the scope of the project.
Executive Recruiting FAQ's - For Employers
How are your fees determined?
Permanent Staffing
DerrJones provides clients with several fee options, including retained
search, contingency search, and a third fee plan that
combines the two. Regardless of the method chosen, fees are based on a percentage of the first year's cash compensation. Our
retained services are billed in three installments: one-third is billed when we initiate the assignment; one-third is billed in
30 days; the final third is billed in 60 days. Under the contingency method, the total fee is billed upon the candidate's acceptance
of an offer. The third plan provides for one-third of the fee to be paid upon initiating the assignment, with the
balance due upon placement.
Contract/Interim Placement
Contract rates are negotiated based on a number of factors, including the duration of the assignment, the skills required,
and the contractor's desired hourly rate. DerrJones works with our clients to determine appropriate rates for the assignment,
based on market conditions.
Is there a benefit to selecting the retained option?
When DerrJones works on a retained basis, you are guaranteed dedicated resources to work on your assignment - and we continue to
give the assignment top priority until the search is completed. While DerrJones provides a guarantee on all placements, clients opting
for retained services receive an extended guarantee.
What is your guarantee policy?
DerrJones provides a 90 day guarantee on all contingency placements, and a six month guarantee on retained
assignments. If a candidate leaves to accept another position or is terminated during the guarantee period, DerrJones will
replace the candidate at no charge to the hiring organization.
How is DerrJones different from other recruiting firms?
At DerrJones, we believe that we have two client constituencies: the companies that we work with and our
candidates. We place significant emphasis on honest and consistent communication to both of these groups. We challenge
you to ask our clients...and to ask our candidates about our process. When you do, we're confident that you will consider
DerrJones for all of your recruiting needs. Put DerrJones recruiting power to work for you. Keep your business...ahead of the curve.
