MacNair Retained Search
Retained
A retained assignment means the opportunity has been thoroughly vetted, the company has a vested interest, is serious about hiring and will not waste your time.
Culture Match
We make sure you fit the culture as well as the role, so you’re working with an organization that shares your views and values.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is our stock in trade. We never, ever send out your resume without your permission.
Career Coaching
We take the time to fully understand your career goals to ensure you don’t just make a move, but you make the right move.
Interview Prep
When it comes to an offer vs. a rejection, it’s all about skilled interview prep. We are pro’s.
Competitive Compensation
We go to bat for you to make sure your offer is competitive .
Money is important, let’s face it, but the difference between short and long-term compensation can be huge (i.e., equity potential, formula driven bonuses, etc).
Follow Through
We stay in the process with you from beginning to end because every step in the process is critical.
Exit Strategy
We coach you on how to manage your exit strategy, covering hypotheticals so you’re coming from a position of strength and humility. Why? Because, “A good reputation is better than silver or gold.”
vs. Other Search Firms
Contingency
Contingency firms traditionally work on poorly vetted opportunities, the company does not have a vested interest, wasting your time and potentially hurting your reputation.
Culture Mis-Match
Place a body in a role, many times resulting in a poor culture match.
Public
Resumes get distributed without candidates’ permission and sometimes end up in the wrong hands (i.e., your boss).
Churn
Focus on numbers, on churning candidates through the process, risking a square-peg-in-a-round-hole placement.
Transactional
Transactional search firms send resumes as fast as possible to companies hoping something sticks.
Low Offers
Don’t take the time to fully understand your total compensation package .
It’s all about the money—about the short-term vs the long-term.
Unreliable
You may or may not hear back from the recruiter who sent your resume.
Bad Advice
Little to nothing is done to prepare you for leaving your current employer, or worse yet, you get bad advice, burning bridges and damaging your reputation.
