Summary of Services: SEARCH IS AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL MANAGEMENT TOOL... The top 10% of professionals usually are not actively seeking a career change. The best performers are generally happy with their present positions. They don't respond to advertising or conventional web recruitment, and they don't forward unsolicited resumes to personnel departments. These professionals have well founded concerns about confidentiality and their personal privacy rights. They do not put their careers at risk by responding to public internet resume posting services or contingency search firms. Professionals at this level rely on professional executive recruiters, and private web based entities, to contact them directly and present them with appropriate opportunities and represent their genuine interest confidentially to prospective new management. Management professionals making hiring decisions at this level rely on professional recruiters to conduct a talent search that includes all appropriate resources, insuring that top prospects have been identified, qualified and presented for consideration. They value the recruiter's assets, recommendations and advice. Business plans and management changes are cause for confidentiality concerns and corporate clients depend on the discretion and professionalism of retained recruiters and private web assets to maintain this confidentiality. Professional retained recruiters at this level undertake organized, research based efforts that create the maximum benefit for all parties involved by guaranteeing the highest possible probability of both the successful outcome of the corporate client's venture, and the advancement of the executive candidate's career. An Optimized Executive Appointment of this type, the result of an effectively executed search strategy and carefully managed career transition, enables a company to move into new markets and technologies and capitalize on explosive growth with the confidence that everything possible has been done to see that the optimum candidate has been hired. ESS has invested years in developing specialized custom production software, sector research capabilities, private web assets and cutting edge recruiting techniques to insure that corporate clients and the professionals we work with get these optimized results on every search assignment.
