How To Decide If It’s Time To Start Looking For An Executive Search Company In Indonesia?

Oftentimes, we come across potential clients who are not sure if they need an executive search company Indonesia and we ask them a few questions to help them decide if it’s a good thing they contacted us for their executive search Indonesia. 

Question 1 - Are you absolutely clear about your requirements? 

Only by having a lucid idea about what they need to find can they decide whether they need to start looking for executive search firms in Indonesia. In other words, there can already be an in-house resource that can be a suitable match for the job. In that case, all they need is a good training program which a search firm can also help you conduct and voila, they have their position filled with minimum effort ensuring maximum benefit and higher retention rate. Only by knowing what it is that you need in the first place, should you go and start looking for a search firm. 

Question 2 - Is your in-house team capable of handling such load?

The second question is more or less an extension of the first question. Once you are clear about your requirements, the second thing you need to ask yourself is the capacity and capability of your in-house hiring team. Is there enough bandwidth with them? Do they have a well laid network? Do they have the expertise to talk to an executive level candidate? And so on. Because one fact you can not deny is that executive hiring is a whole different area of recruitment which needs years of experience in the first place. So is your team capable or not.

Question 3 - What type of industries and organisations would be a best match for me?

This question will help you decide whether the search firms you are thinking of contacting would be able to search the right candidate for you thus saving you a lot of time and energy in going to multiple search firms and wasting your time. It is always good to go for a firm that has experience of hiring in your industry. This ensures that they must have a ready database of both active and passive potential candidates and that they can find you the right match not in terms of the skill set but also in terms of company culture. 

Finding answers to these questions would help you make up your mind. Once you are sure about your decision, ask yourself, do you have everything in place to do so. If yes, then all you have to do is contact the best search firms and set a meeting.
