What does a "Retained" Search offer the Candidate?

Conway & Greenwood manages its retained search assignments on an exclusive basis, and as a candidate the benefits to you are significant: 

• As the only authorized representative of the company for the search, we offer a complete review of the opportunity, with a position description, detailing the company, the position, hiring manager, and other pertinent information for your review.
  

• We become your advocate and representative as a professional third party who is well-versed in your skills and experience, working directly with the hiring manager, or board of directors, as applicable.
  

• Our extensive network of senior level contacts is leveraged on your behalf.
  

• Associating with a retained search firm is regarded as the best way to conduct your search.

• Conway & Greenwood will discuss compensation requirements and geographic preferences early in the search process, so as not to waste your time on opportunities that do not meet your criteria.
  

• We manage the interview process, and require that the company keeps the timetable progressing, and we will offer constructive and frank feedback.
  

• When Conway & Greenwood presents the firm offer of employment to you, we will have already reviewed your expectations with the hiring manager, so typically, we will structure the components accordingly. 
  

• If any counter offers are needed, Conway & Greenwood properly conveys your concerns, and you can often more freely voice any discrepancies than if you were working directly with the hiring firm.
  

• Conway & Greenwood will advise you through the resignation process to assure good relations are maintained.

• We will stay in touch with you after you become a new and contributing executive, to ensure a positive transition.

Often, after successfully placing a candidate, Conway & Greenwood is one of the first calls an executive makes to recruit other essential executives for his or her team.  There is great value in knowing the skills and style of that executive to ensure that the slate of candidates presented will meet his or her expectations.

Many of our candidate clients tell us that they have never received better treatment from an executive search firm than the attention and results they received from Conway & Greenwood. Even if we were not successful in placing them, they often retain us to manage their search needs in future management capacities. 

We will look forward to developing a relationship with you as well.
