Key Features of Project Recruitment

Project Recruitment relies on packaging multiple jobs together and filling several positions at once. B.E. Smith found recent success with this model helping an organization find three hospital Associate Chief Nursing Officers and a Senior Director of Perioperative Services. 

The organization was highly satisfied with the quality of candidates B.E. Smith presented, then added four more positions to fill: Clinical Director, Emergency Services; Director, Emergency Services; Clinical Director, Emergency Services; and Director, Emergency Services. B.E. Smith had candidates in front of the client for each search within 40 days.

Mick Ruel, B.E. Smith VP of Senior Executive Search, played an integral role, working with the client's corporate HR at a global level. B.E. Smith found success by spending time with the organization, understanding the culture, and developing a customized process.

“By looking outside of a single search, we were able to forge a better overall partnership between the organization and B.E. Smith and adjust to each other’s needs along the way," Ruel said. "This was crucial early on as we were able to iron out issues when they arose.”

The Project Recruitment Process and Governance Model

Though details may change depending on client needs, the Project Recruitment process is as follows:

• The Project Leader provides overall project management, including monthly governance calls and weekly progress updates for key stakeholders to ensure timely and transparent communications.
• Individual recruiters are assigned to the project based on the specialties of the leadership openings to ensure alignment of recruiting expertise.
• Following a kick-off call for each position, recruitment goals include the presentation of qualified, interested, and available (QIA) candidates for each open leadership position.
• All candidates presented have gone through standard vetting requirements, to include reference and background checks.
• Cost-effective service model aligns monthly project management and recruiter resource fees with performance-based payments tied to successful candidate placement milestones.
• Replacement search guarantees extended on any placed candidates.

The Benefits and Flexibility of B.E. Smith's Project Recruitment Model

Specifically, the recruiting model can help organizations in the following situations:

1. Your organization has a high volume of mid-level leadership openings that need to be filled within an identified timeframe. 
2. Your Talent Acquisition team is supporting a critical mass of overall recruitment needs and is unable to allocate the time and resources required to manage the full-cycle recruitment processes for multiple leadership roles.
3. Your Recruiters lack the subject matter expertise and specialization to reach candidate pools for the breadth of leadership positions that are open. 

By implementing Project Recruitment into its executive search services, B.E. Smith has positioned itself to build stronger relationships with its clients while exhibiting its strength in finding high-caliber candidates on a national level. B.E. Smith is hoping to implement this customizable search model more frequently, helping many other organizations augment their talent recruitment process in innovative ways.
