Methodology ESS creates current sector research individually for each project. This is an in-depth comprehensive analysis that goes beyond the obvious targets leveraging today's rate of change to identify new and upcoming talent. Sectors are targeted, competitive analysis is conducted, firms are deconstructed and individual professionals are identified and contacted directly and presented the opportunity. ESS state of the art production software integrates the results of the overall effort. A comprehensive research effort and the traditional  direct contacts made via the research based phase of the project are integrated to produce a unified approach ESS calls "Position Marketing". Your Position, carefully defined and comprehensively researched by ESS, is confidentially "Marketed" to the entire target sector personally, professionally and in a timely fashion.  Resulting prospects are short-listed, interviewed and evaluated by ESS. Consultation continues up to the offer formulation and after the executive appointment with follow up. Over and above the eventual appointment, the intelligence gained from professionals in the target sector during the course of the project is of extreme value. Having a talent survey of this type conducted on a specifically targeted market can produce information that can not be gathered in any other manner.  ESS recommendations are based  on this current factual information, tempered  with years of experience in retained search. The world of recruiting has changed dramatically. Resume databases and web robots are accessible to everyone. Corporate staffing functions have come to mirror the operations of conventional headhunters and personnel agencies.  ESS adds another level of depth into the process with this retained approach and execution. ESS retained search offers a real alternative, a fresh approach to solving your staffing needs that reaches an untapped alpha talent pool and provides guidance and recommendations unavailable elsewhere.
