Recruitment Strategy in
a New World

Executive Level Search

Written By Orla Treacy

Our world is changing and the way that we do business will be permanently impacted – how each business and industry faces these challenges will permanently define their success and relevance within this changing world.

At Accelerate, we have been operating a remote headhunting service since our formation, building successful and long-lasting relationships with partners all around the world. We have always believed that this adaptable, agile model provided us with a number of operational advantages over the competition and it has fortunately allowed us to be ahead of the curve considering where it looks like the future of work and ‘ways-of-working’ are headed due to the impact of COVID19. Our operating model remains the same, and we are much better positioned than the competition who may struggle to adapt to a new and unfamiliar working environment.

By using technology in a smart way, we are able to headhunt executive candidates for our clients on a global basis, across all industries and functions. Put simply, our methodologies and model are more effective at attracting and engaging top level candidates than the competition, particularly passive talent, digital talent, diversity talent and international talent – these are typically the most attractive candidates for our clients.

E-Business, An Emerging Trend

In the last six months, we have been specialising in specifically searching for candidates in the areas of digital, e-commerce and e-business. Due to the huge impact of national lockdowns, restricted travel and rapidly changing consumer habits, many companies have been forced to change their retail offering and the way they reach their customers. We can help with this change. Organisations who are late to this trend need talent to quickly change and guide their organisations to ensure that they keep their position and do not lose market share, or to even improve on where they are by having the right leaders in place.

We offer a combination of experience in successfully running searches across these increasingly valuable functions with more than ten years of experience in a remote and digital operating model that is years ahead of our competition. We react quickly and efficiently and continue to extend our ‘no fill, no fee’  offering for all customers.

We understand the struggles recruitment teams and hiring managers are facing from quickly diminishing revenues. We understand the time constraints and the panic and pressure that people are experiencing. We are here to help, take the pressure off and deliver strong, qualified, interested candidates within one week of engaging us on a search. Our commitment to providing a quality service remains and we are proud to partner with many different businesses now as much as we were before the beginning of 2020.

If you are interested and would like to speak with us further, please let us know and we can schedule a call.
