| Does high quality equal high fees and long delivery times? | ||
| As of 1st January this year, SAM Headhunting is also active in the USA. We offer both existing clients with recruitment needs in the US and new clients a hitherto unseen degree of transparency, but with the same focus on delivering quality that is a cornerstone in all SAM Headhunting companies. SAM Headhunting pioneers transparency in the US Headhunting sector In the name of confidentiality and discretion, secrecy has been used since the early days of the headhunting industry to cloud the view of the clients making it impossible to differentiate or compare suppliers of headhunting solutions in terms of for instance quality, delivery time and fee levels. Transparency has been the enemy of the headhunting companies who have more or less deliberately delivered poor quality, charged unreasonable high fees or been ineffective in their work process, which have resulted in pro-longed delivery times, sometimes up to six months or more. Some headhunting companies have even demanded payment of full fees, even though they were not able to meet the needs of the client and deliver quality candidates. This all ends with SAM Headhunting - secrecy has been used to justify unreasonable high fees for too long. We have made it our business to strive to deliver the right candidate at the right price within a reasonable timeframe – and we want to treat all of our candidates and contacts fairly in the process. No in-betweens To ensure the best possible quality in our headhunting process, headhunters at SAM Headhunting manage the entire headhunting process themselves: from creating the job profile and research potential candidates to the presentation of the candidates qualified – and most importantly we follow-up and evaluate with both client and candidate, when the process has ended. This means that unlike what is the case with our competitors, there is no risk that something gets lost in communication between the various headhunters, researchers and secretaries. It also enables SAM Headhunting to reduce delivery time to weeks instead of the more in-effective process which will often pro-long delivery time up to six months or more. A more effecient process benefits both our clients and our candidates – and in the end it also enables us to headhunt high-quality candidates at a lower fee level than many of the other players in the headhunting industry. Calculate the fee of your next key employee We have no reason to hide facts, and we have therefore chosen to introduce this first step on the way to offer more transparency to our clients and candidates: the Fee Calculator. Try out our Fee Calculator, and find out just how little it will cost you to have SAM headhunt your new employee, colleague or maybe your replacement if you are changing jobs? As charging reasonable fees and delivering high quality is important to us, we also offer you the possiblity of a direct dialogue between you and SAM Headhunting.
