direct placement

Self Opportunity is not your typical headhunting or executive search company. Our Direct Placement services are a fundamental part of our business. That is why we take a distinctive approach to the search and recruitment of highly qualified, candidates. Five factors define it:

A Detailed Client Review

The Direct Search process begins with a Client Review meeting. Then, during a meeting with your Human Resources Team and/or Hiring Managers, our Recruiters will discuss your expectations regarding the candidates’ qualifications, educational background, required skills, abilities, and competencies, as well as any specific compensation arrangements.

Our Search professionals will work closely with you to pinpoint your criteria for the candidate. In addition, they will offer their insights, perspectives and best practices throughout the process to finalize a Needs Assessment Review for each position.

Establish a Search Strategy

Armed with the completed Needs Assessment Review, our Direct Placement Recruiters will create a thorough search strategy based on the type of position, qualifications and salary level.

Candidate Interviews

Since the Self Opportunity Search team has experience working on the “Client” side. We know what sets staffing and recruiting companies apart. The key differences are the interview quality and how the interview notes are presented to the Clients.
