Why should I use McKinnon Targeted Recruiters?

The retention rate of the candidates that we place is exceptionally high. The main reason for this appears to be:

The thoroughness of our candidate search process. We don’t just look for someone that can fill the position. Our on going objective is to help our clients secure the optimum candidate available to the market. To achieve this we access all active candidate sources; our candidate database (30,000), advertising, online sourcing (Workopolis, industry specific job boards, etc.) and all passive candidate sources (headhunting). Often the right candidate is not actively looking for a new position but sometimes may just be starting to think about a move when we call. We call this the passive candidate. Most recruiting firms only access active candidates and lack the specialized skills and training needed to identify and attract passive candidates. This is where we excel. We give you access to a much wider talent pool. A greater selection of candidates often results in a superior hire. Our search process is very refined. It's called Targeted Recruiting. 

Our people are experts in the industries that we serve. This enables us to understand our clients' needs. We have superior skills and training in both candidate assessment and project management. However, it is Targeted Recruiting that sets us apart and enables you to hire the best available candidates.   

Our philosophy is based on, Targeting, Knowledge, Understanding, Access and Professionalism.

How long will the recruitment process take to complete?

The average time to placement is six weeks. This can vary depending on the nature of the assignment. A lot depends on our client's interviewing process. Many assignments have been completed within one week when our client had a pressing need.

How are your professional fees determined?

Our fees are in alignment with current industry standards. They are a reflection of the thoroughness of the work that we do and are dependent on the scope of the assignment. Please speak to one of our recruiters and they will be happy to discuss our fees in more detail.

How do you evaluate and assess your candidates?

McKinnon Targeted Recruiters are all trained on behavioral interviewing techniques and receive extensive ongoing training on candidate assessment.

Can you maintain the confidentiality of the company information that we share with you?

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our business. We treat all information as strictly confidential and will share only information that our clients permit us to.

What happens if your placement leaves?
