Recruitment Research

Save-On-Search Solution
The recruiting alternatives to executive search whereby you only pay for the time spent recruiting.

What is recruitment research?

Recruitment Research is our Save-On-Search recruiting solution, which focuses on research and follows a systematic recruiting approach. It is used as an alternative to executive search and saves our clients a significant amount of money for each hire, as they are only charged for the time spent on the assignment.

This solution combines research and recruiting activities into a comprehensive package that can be easily adjusted to meet different needs. Besides cost savings, this strategy enhances recruiting efficiency by providing real-time actionable data. The data also enables effective comparison and evaluation of potential candidates, ensuring that only the most qualified individuals are presented.

When selecting this solution, our team shares all the gathered data with our clients throughout the research and recruiting processes. By utilizing this solution, companies can avoid paying expensive fees per hire.

Case Studies
We help our clients build better teams without the big fees.

Medical Device Client

A leading medical device company was expanding their sales teams and needed our help. In a short period of time our research team created a talent pool of over 700 potential candidates and our recruiters presented 42 candidates and were responsible for 37 hires. The average cost per hire was $5000.00

Chemical Manufacturer

Our client sought Production Managers for three of their manufacturing plants. At the request of our client we researched 20 competitors to build a strong talent pool that resulted in 3 fast hires. Cost per hire $7200.00

Professional Services Client

Our client is looking to increase the number of female partners for their firm and asked our team to assist their talent acquisition team with candidate pipelining. As the example below shows, our research team identified a talent pool of 751 professionals to include 150 female partners. Once the research was completed our team was tasked with building an engaged talent community of female partners and present interested qualified candidates. Total cost for research was $10,000. As of September 2020, SGA Talent is on a monthly retainer to continue our candidate pipeline efforts. To date, the cost per hire has been less than 7% of the Partner’s base salary.

Insurance Client

Our client is a leader in the insurance industry and was facing a talent crunch at the executive levels. Our role was to create organization charts of the C-Suite and four levels down at 12 competitor companies. This information was used for both current and future hiring. The average cost per hire has never exceeded 9% of the hire’s base salary.

In addition to providing candidates, we also provide all the data that is gathered during the process. This includes research. A few example are below.
