That may be one of the biggest misconceptions in today’s hiring market.

Yes, there are talented people looking for work.  But the person who could truly move the needle for your organization?

…They may already have a job.

…They may be exceeding their numbers.

…They may be well compensated.

…And they may have absolutely no reason to scroll through job postings.

Until someone gives them one.

That’s the difference between filling a position and conducting a true search.

The best recruiting happens when you identify the people you actually want—not just the people who happen to apply—and then create a compelling reason for them to listen.

At Rowland Mountain & Associates, we don’t believe a stack of resumes equals a successful search.

The goal isn’t more candidates.

The goal is the right candidate.

And sometimes, the best person for the job doesn’t even know they’re looking yet.
