Square Peg, Round Hole approach can more than often, unsurprisingly, not be the right solution🤦...... 🟠 Too often I've been seeing clients making shortcuts within the recruitment world however I've also seen this in other 'cost saving' exercises where the investment in the wrong or cheaper solution comes back to bite. This is even more prevalent given the increased focus on tech amongst most industries. 🟠 Within recruitment it is more than likely the square peg will be the cheaper option and/or most readily available person. Cutting corners can lead to big issues down the line. 🟠 Prime examples of this can be at the most senior level as well. I've seen the FCA cracking down, understandably, on candidates that try to be signed off for SMF functions but have either none or limited prior experience of that business type. Yes a lot of experienced individuals can pick up a new business type however, particularly in the retail FS market, I've seen many individuals get rejected by the FCA for not having strong enough knowledge for the business they are supposed to support. 🟠 Why utilise a specialist recruiter? We will hit the mark with candidates that have the technical knowledge, business understanding & cultural fit to a firm. It's not just about lining up a CV to a job spec! Here at CLARC Recruitment we pride ourselves on helping you find the right piece to your jigsaw, it's a standard I will not let us drop and personally pride ourselves on. #recruitment #recruitmentspecialist #legal #audit #risk #compliance

All the partners we speak to during our consultation calls face one or more of the same initial pain points, which lead them to consider moving firms: - Difficulty highlighting non-billable achievements - Feeling undervalued - Inadequate recognition - Insufficient support and resources to meet targets. - Need more support in developing their business plan to align with the department's objectives. - Limited autonomy - Unclear career advancement opportunities While law firms are excellent at outlining career paths and advancement criteria for Associates, a significant gap exists in the clarity and transparency of Partner-level career progression. If any of these challenges resonate with you, we would love to discuss and explore how we can help.

When you are a GC and you need to quickly fill a short term gap in resource what is the most important thing? 💷 Value for money? 📖 Expertise? 🤸 Flexibility? Answer? Well it’s all three of course. This was the exact conversation I had today with a contact who needed to replace himself on an important negotiation as he was about to take a well deserved promotion which wouldn’t leave him enough time to drive the contract to completion. He wasn’t sure how much resource it would need, whether he could find somebody to fill it quickly enough and with somebody he could trust, and also find an arrangement that would give him the flexibility to take more or less resource as needed. This is where our On Demand Solution comes into its own: 👩💼 Flexible resourcing - we can provide as much or as little support as you need, on demand 🔒 No financial tie in or commitment - pay for what you use 🧑🧒🧒Access wider support - we allocate a support team of different levels behind the lead lawyer, so we can dynamically manage cost by pushing work to the right level 📈Responsibilty - we guarantee the quality of our work, which takes away the pressure of finding that perfect individual Hopefully we’ll be able to help and give them peace of mind that we’ve got it covered 🤞

Do you have full trust and confidence in your Executive Search partners to be ambassadors for your brand? 🤔 Continuing our series of posts on our Values here at Court & Spark Consulting, we want to talk about the importance of trust. Trust plays a pivotal role in the executive search process, impacting various aspects from the initial engagement between us and our clients to the final placement and integration of our candidate. Here are some key reasons why we believe trust is essential in executive search: ✅ Client-Consultant Relationship A strong, trust-based relationship between us and our clients allows for open and honest communication. This transparency helps us to understand our client's true needs, challenges, and expectations, leading to a more tailored and effective search process. ✅ Candidate Experience For our candidates, trust in us is critical. It reassures them that their career aspirations, personal information, and potential vulnerabilities are in safe hands. This trust encourages candidates to be more open with us about their interests and concerns, facilitating a better match. ✅ Credibility and Reputation Court & Spark Consulting’s business has been built over 20 years, 100% on our reputation. A track record of trustworthy conduct fosters credibility in the market. Both clients and candidates are more likely to engage with us, with our history of ethical practices, successful placements, and reliable service. ✅ Long-term Relationships Executive search is not typically a one-time transaction but rather part of an ongoing relationship. Trust is the foundation for long-term partnerships where our clients repeatedly return to the same us for their hiring needs, and candidates seek career guidance and opportunities. (By the way, if you don’t know yet, “Court and Spark” was the name of Joni Mitchell’s stand out album, released in 1974. The album is all about relationships… 😊 ) #executivesearch #businessrelationship #trust https://lnkd.in/eJ4dJHSS
