RESEARCH
With many Executive Search firms, research is carried out by the recruiters themselves. At BTsearch, we felt that industry intelligence was so integral to the process that we created a dedicated unit comprised entirely of research professionals who carry no transactional responsibilities.
Our dedicated Research team is highly regarded in the market place, and has particularly strong intelligence in the areas of Project Finance, Oil & Gas and PPP. Apart from their normal role as a vital part of Executive Search, the Research unit is available to provide you with a review of the competitive environment, specific areas of the market, or key talent in specialist fields.
Beyond networkingNetworking is obviously important. But our approach to research means our Executive Search team doesn’t just rely on who they already know. Our finance industry researchers are able to go beyond our network of contacts to maintain a comprehensive inventory of opportunities and candidates.
Streamlined processOur researchers work closely with our Consultants and continue to collaborate throughout the process resulting in a more streamlined recruitment process and more reliable outcomes.
Talent Identification, Management and RetentionBTsearch can help in the identification of the "best in market" through a variety of methods. We generally hold multiple interviews with candidates to ensure that we not only understand their competencies and behaviours but also motivations and long-term objectives. It is this insight that allows us to manage candidate expectations through the hiring process, and then ongoing guidance throughout their career.
Salary SurveysBill Trott & Associates can also be contracted to research the market to determine salaries and benefits of a particular position and specialisation. The breadth and depth of each survey is determined by consultation and priced accordingly.
