Retained Search

That star candidate, that top calibre individual who has that particular ‘je ne sais quoi’ which marks them out for great things.

Irrespective of this, you know that there is an obvious gap in your organisation for someone with that particular skill-set, but despite the fact that your own firm features prominently in every press article and business insider review for the last 3 years, these people aren’t coming to you and knocking on your door.

At VG Charles & Co we have extensive experience in both co-ordinating and delivering on proactive executive search assignments for clients which are keen to invest in bringing the best talent to their brand. It is fairly well known that firms recognise their own talent internally and will go to great lengths to keep these people as happy as possible, hence these individuals are not likely to be trawling the internet looking to see who is hiring.

To tempt these ‘star’ performers requires a professional and confidential approach from someone who understands your firm, who can recognise the potential in your offering and who can clearly convey this during a face-to-face meeting.

Executive search done properly is without doubt the most effective way of attracting the best talent to your door; done badly it not only scuppers your chances of getting that individual to join you now, but probably for the next three years, during which time they may have joined your competitor who approached them more effectively.

You are a recognised expert in your field and absolutely the best at doing what you do.

VG Charles & Co is a trusted supplier of the very best talent to firms throughout the UK and abroad and would welcome the chance to speak to you about your requirements.

We want to know about your business, where your practice is strong, where you want to grow and what kind of people work well for you. Your recruiter of choice will effectively be your window to the world, the first port of call for any of the best talent in the market and thus it is essential that you know you will be represented effectively and (most importantly) accurately.

As keen as you may be to hire, it can be disastrous to do it wrong, to take someone on who has been mis-sold a role which is far from their requirements. We back all of our introductions with a 100% rebate period, so if we get it wrong we take the hit – not you.

We should stress however that we also have high expectations from our side. We only work with a select few firms in each location and are happy to clarify if we feel unable or conflicted out of recruiting for you. We will only assist those firms who provide the same level of care and attention to our candidates that we do, and will happily walk away from a relationship which doesn’t work for us or our other clients.

If you value your firm, your plans for growth and the quality of your workforce, then please do get in contact and we can speak to you about how we can help you maximise your potential in each of these areas.
