Stop Searching. Start Interviewing.
THE SHORT LIST proactively identifies, contacts and initially qualifies hard-to-find talent for small and midsized employers.
Choose a defined, fixed-fee talent sourcing project for a critical opening or add ongoing talent sourcing capacity through a predictable monthly retainer.
One Talent Sourcing Partner. Two Ways to Engage.
Engage THE SHORT LIST for Project Talent Sourcing to research the market, identify prospective candidates, conduct proactive outreach and deliver a pipeline of qualified and interested candidates for a specific opening or group of related openings.
Or, THE SHORT LIST becomes your Fractional Talent Sourcing resource, continuously supporting current and anticipated hiring needs through talent-market intelligence, candidate mapping, passive-candidate outreach and pipeline development.
SITUATED BETWEEN DOING IT YOURSELF AND FULL-SERVICE RECRUITING
Hiring managers often face two expensive choices. They can attempt to source candidates internally even when no one has the time, tools or research experience to conduct a comprehensive search. Or they can engage a traditional recruiter that controls most of the recruiting process and charges a substantial fee tied to candidate compensation.
THE SHORT LIST offers another option. We specialize in the research-intensive front end of hiring: understanding the role, mapping the market, finding prospective candidates, conducting outreach and developing an interview pipeline. Your team retains control of final interviews, selection, offers, hiring and onboarding.
MORE THAN NAMES ON A LIST
A successful search requires more than finding people with the right job titles. It requires understanding the market, reaching people who may not be actively applying and determining who is both qualified and genuinely interested.
We are not your typical recruiter
THE SHORT LIST is founded on 25+ years of deep web market research and matchmaking, not recruiting, and addresses the major issue of not finding enough qualified and interested local candidates to fill interview pipelines.
Our differentiated and valued professionals and processes target needs of small-to-medium-sized, closely-held, family-owned, and investor owned firms.
Since Time = Money, THE SHORT LIST is your strategic partner to identify the right qualified, interested, and vetted candidates for you to fill critical seats quickly!
