The Mercedes & the Purple Squirrel

A Five Step Tool for Selecting a Search Partner

As technology continues to close the quality gap across brands in all industries, you’re increasingly a paying a premium for the brand name without getting higher quality as a result. This is the reality in the recruiting/search industry. That’s what Kinetix, the RPO for growth companies, is outlining in their latest whitepaper, “The Mercedes & the Purple Squirrel: A Five Point Tool for Selecting a Search Partner.” 

Today’s executive search environment is full of disruption caused by changes in communication, technology and social networking. The rolodex you paid the luxury brand premium for is no longer special or unusual - everyone has access to the same candidates through disruptive tools like LinkedIn.” says Kris Dunn, author and Chief Human Resources Officer at Kinetix.

The article presents readers with a detailed look at today’s executive search model and details why it’s no longer necessary to pay a premium price tag to access top talent. Kinetix also provides readers with an overview of the five key points they should consider when selecting their next search partner, and closes with a tool to help plot available options and make a decision.

“Toyota’s built on the same platform as a Lexus”, says Dunn, “A high-quality boutique search firm will deliver the same quality and experience as a luxury search firm.”
