Partnering with Citadel Search offers several advantages, including: 

Getting First-hand Market Knowledge

Citadel Search constantly has our ears on the ground. We stay updated on the current state of the job market across various industries and therefore have valuable insights about the industry. This allows us to accurately provide salary benchmarks and guidance to our clientele, enhancing our clients’ branding to hire effectively. 

Tapping into a Robust Network of Talents

We mindfully build a robust network of professionals and job seekers as we see the importance in creating a solid and dynamic database to cater to your unique needs. You may wonder if this can be carried out by your own HR department? . Yes, it is true that you can possibly try. But if you are entering a new market, or you want to hyperscale and need that talent tomorrow, how long will it take you to develop a robust professional network? We can also help you scout talents from your competitors and genuinely represent your brand to these successful but passive talents. 

Expertise in “Tough” Roles 

We understand that the recruitment process is rarely a straightforward process, especially for senior level roles. It takes a lot of resilience to find the right talent who is able to deliver the high-level demands and meet the requirements that will propel your organisation to greater success. With today’s demands of T-Shaped Senior Hires, where depth of expertise is required yet have the horizontal breadth of leadership, people  and critical management skills, we understand how hard it is.  This is what sets us apart. We never shy away from “hard-to-fill” positions and have a proven track record in successfully finding our clients senior talents and filling niche roles. 

Quick Turnaround 

We understand the mountain of responsibilities your HR team has to take on and Citadel Search is here to help alleviate it. With our support and help for executive search and recruitment, you can focus on other tasks and dedicate your time and resources on other processes. With our passionate team of consultants, whether it is to fill a position and piece up your dream team efficiently, we have done it! 

Cost Savings 

A bad hire costs more than you think. Did you know? A wrong hire can cost your business 7 times the monthly salary, on average. This consists of monetary costs and intangible costs that can quickly compromise the health and morale of your organisation. This is why partnering with an executive search firm can help you save costs because we are focused on what we do best and share the common goal of finding the right talent to position your organisation for greater success.

Speak to us to understand how Citadel Search operates and approaches we adopt to find you your ideal talent. Citadel Search takes pride in working efficiently and it’s a standard of practice to give our clients the first candidate profile within 2-5 working days. This however, can only be accomplished with your cooperation. When working with us, be forthcoming and transparent in the requirements and deliverables of the job to help our consultants define the search effectively. 

We also advise our clients to review their interview and recruitment processes to ensure providing the optimal candidate experience. Avoid having multiple rounds of interviews that may potentially disinterest the candidate and result in a bad experience with your organisation especially when multiple interviewers are asking essentially the same interview questions at different rounds. A long recruitment process also results in candidates losing interest in your organisation, or being approached and securing a job with your competitors. You wouldn’t want to stand a chance of losing a good talent to your competitors. At Citadel Search, we encourage our clients to keep to a maximum of 2 rounds of interviews, unless the role requires advanced tests or simulations that calls for more data evaluation. It is important to provide a hassle-free recruitment process and a positive experience and the candidates directly interact with your managers.  Candidates are also evaluating your brand in real time. We also recommend that you have a robust and efficient decision-making  process for candidate selection. Clients who are slow in their decision-making often lose out and then regret later on. 

Yes, Citadel Search has a guarantee program. This guarantee program is for in the unlikely case where the candidate is found to be unsuitable after being hired. The client shall receive up to 1 time free replacement. The period of guarantee will be indicated in the terms of agreement.
