Our Services
Retained Search
Recruitment is an investment, not a process.
Our Retained Search process offers you a level of service otherwise unattainable with contingent search. The commitment of the retainer allows us to deliver a better level of service. Because we know our customer is as committed as we are, we can spend more time with our candidates.
Why does this matter?
Its saves you time and effort. We spend more time qualifying candidates, ensuring the relevance of the introductions we make as well as during the offer, negotiation and acceptance stages. Time spent during these latter stages help ensure the risk of a decline or counter-offer is mitigated by ongoing coaching of the candidate through the process.
How does it work?
Traditional retained search agreements typically require one third of a fee up-front, one third on presentation of a shortlist and the final third on acceptance of the selected candidate. This passes the majority of the risk of the recruitment process on to you, the customer. We believe in a different approach where we share the risk.
We take a nominal commitment fee from our customer - 20% of the projected fee, with the balance only due when the successful candidate starts their new role. This costs no more than contingent search, but ensures a better service for everyone.
Carefully aligning the aspirations and goals of the candidate with those of the institution is critical and, with true commitment from our clients, we are able to spend the time necessary to understand this.
Contact us to talk through how this can help you recruit the right talent for your business.
New Division Setup
So frequently the institutions we work with would like to add an additional income stream that comes with a new line of business but don't know where to start.
At Wright & Peel Executive Search we have a track record of helping banks successfully build new lines of business by identifying leaders who are ready to take the next step in their career and build a division from scratch.
Part of our process is the identification of individuals who have the ambition and the ability to integrate a new line of business into an already functioning bank - not just providing a business plan, but being able to translate ideas into actions and ultimately, revenue.
We identify these people every day across all geographies we cover and so, should an institution be looking to grow with additional line of business, we can leverage our network effectively.
Contact us to learn more about how we can help you to build a division or geographical market from scratch.
Team Moves / Lift Out
A unique service we have been asked to provide is complementary to building a new division from scratch - a 'team lift'.
One solution for a bank that is looking to grow quickly and has a strong balance sheet to leverage is to move an entire team, usually with a leader, a production unit and a middle/back office support function.
Whilst this has an increased upfront cost element to it, the ultimate return on investment and profit generation is achieved much more quickly than building a team around a single leader, organically.
Depending on the size of the team move we can work with you to make sure we add as little cost to your initial investment as possible.
