J.R. Phillip Search & Consulting

Direct Search Advantages

There are many excellent reasons to engage a Search Consultant. My clients most often mention the following:

Objectivity. The Search Consultant's judgment is free from personal bias.

Discrimination. Search Consultants can approach high caliber candidates that a client company frequently cannot due to issues of propriety, confidentiality, conflict of interest, etc.

Candidate Population. Search greatly expands the known field of potential candidates.

Value-Added Expertise. Expert counsel is provided regarding key evaluation criteria, such as helping define specifications, providing comparative assessments and in the completion of thorough reference checks.

Negotiations. The Search Consultant provides an impartial third party to structure an appropriate compensation package and to negotiate the agreement.
