Our leadership also invests personally in energy, which gives us a working knowledge of the market our clients and candidates operate in.
Every search starts with a recorded video intake with the hiring manager. Candidates hear about the role from the company, not from a recruiter's pitch. Most passive candidates tell recruiters no. They tell us yes to reviewing the Position Package, and that is usually all it takes. See The Hazeltine Process →
