What is the BOB Search Process and how does your executive search firm differentiate from the rest?
We will develop a performance-based position profile that focuses on the specific results you need from the position. This helps us as a recruiting tool as it attracts the passive candidates and cleanly evaluates each individual candidate to ensure a precise fit. We then develop a pipeline of 200+ candidates who will be a precise fit for this search. We reach out in multiple ways until we have contacted 70%+ of the candidates. From there, we find 10 prospects and submit the 3-5 best candidates. This includes a detailed candidate summary of their entire work history, their compensation, and relocation issues, as well as their resume. You will have every detail needed to make a decision. BOB Search is a name that is known amongst candidates in aerospace and defense. They take our calls, they return our calls, and they give us referrals (and confidential references) because we are a trusted name in the market.

How long does the search take?
A full search process can be completed in 3 months. The first half of that time is our sourcing, recruiting and submitting a slate of candidates, and the second half is the employer processing time, including first and second interviews, referencing, background checks, extension and acceptance of offer, candidate giving notice, etc.
Can you explain the advantages and disadvantages of retained and contingency firms?
Retained search provides greater value than contingency in many ways. Here is a comparison:
| BENEFITS TO EMPLOYER | CONTINGENCY | RETAINED |
|---|---|---|
| BEST CANDIDATE | Deliver the first three candidates they can find. May or may not be a fit. | Deliver the best three (or more) candidates after a thorough search, giving you a better choice and better fit. |
| CREDIBILITY WITH CANDIDATES | High-level candidates hang up on contingency recruiters. All you see are active job seekers – not always the best candidates. | A good retained search firm, known in their domain, will get through to many more candidates, giving you a higher yield of passive candidates (non-active job seekers) |
| TIME COMMITMENT | Must work 3 times as many assignments, since not all will result in payment. Gives you one third the effort. | Fills every assignment they get, so can accept fewer assignments, and devote 3 times the effort. |
| SOURCE OF CANDIDATES | From their own files – usually active job seekers. | Custom sourcing to your precise needs – increased accuracy of fit. |
| SIZE OF CANDIDATE POOL | Usually look at 20-30 resumes. | Cast a wide net. Reach out to 250+ candidates. |
| QUALITY OF EVALUATION | Superficial review. | In-depth review of motivation, compensation, relocation, job history, and specific capability to do the job. |
| WHAT YOU RECEIVE | Resume only. | Complete package with summary of findings, and candidate write-up on capabilities to deliver results you need. |
| FEE | About the same as retained. | About the same as contingency. |
| VALUE | 1/3 of value of retained. | 3 times the value of contingency. |
