If you are struggling to recruit top talent or high achievers, you may need to rethink your sourcing strategy.
Top performers do not look for new opportunities like most other people do. As such, you cannot source them using the same strategy you would use for others.
Many businesses only target active candidates by posting a vacancy on SEEK or by asking a recruitment agency whether they have anyone available.
This limits the size of the talent pool, as active candidates only account for about 20% of the total talent market.
The remaining 80% is comprised of passive candidates who are not actively seeking a new opportunity.
Despite not being active in the job market, many passive candidates are willing to have a conversation about a true career move. However, reaching out to and communicating with these candidates requires a different approach, as they need to be inspired.
The total talent market
Posting on SEEK or asking who is available reaches only this slice.
The high achievers you actually want, reachable only with a different approach.
We offer specialised executive search services to clients seeking top talent for a range of C-suite and senior management positions.
At 11, our process is designed to attract, recruit, and retain high achievers based on the assumptions that high achievers are:
At 11 Recruitment, we specialise in identifying and attracting top talent through a two-step approach: Bulk and High Touch.
The bulk approach involves leveraging digital online marketing strategies to reach a wide audience. This step focuses on creating compelling content and utilising various online platforms to capture the attention of potential candidates who are not actively seeking new roles.
The high touch approach is an outbound strategy that involves direct communication with prospective candidates. Utilising executive search techniques, we engage with passive candidates on a personal level, building relationships and discussing potential opportunities. This tailored approach ensures that we connect with high-calibre individuals who may not be actively looking but are open to the right opportunity.
Led by an experienced team
Two or three of our consultants work on every search, so your vacancy always has focus.
Christian Madsen
Director
Debbie Cooper
General Manager
We start by understanding the role, the required skills, the team structure and the type of candidate needed. This helps shape the search strategy and the channels we use to target the market.
We promote roles through job boards and online channels to improve reach and application quality. Our approach is designed to help candidates find 11 Recruitment when they start looking for their next opportunity.
We use LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Advertising, SEEK Talent Search and our CV database to identify candidates who match the brief. This allows us to approach both active applicants and passive candidates who may be open to the right role.
We review candidate backgrounds, experience and suitability against the role before presenting a shortlist. Our database and screening process help us assess candidate history, alignment, and fit for the position.
We stay in contact with candidates throughout the recruitment process and support employers through the interview, feedback and offer stage. Our focus on client and candidate satisfaction is a core part of how we operate.
filled within 18 working days, over the last 24 months
As a retained agency, our consultants work on fewer roles at any given time. This allows them to properly focus on each vacancy, including the ones that are difficult to fill.
performance guarantee vs an industry standard of 3 months
We provide an 18-month performance guarantee on permanent placements. Having an extended guarantee period means it is in our best interests to source a candidate who will stay and excel in your role.
commissions paid to our consultants
We do not pay our staff a commission. This minimises the conflict of interest, as it shifts our consultants' main objective from filling your vacancy to get paid, to ensuring you are satisfied with the final placement.
staff members working on each vacancy
At 11, we have two or three staff members working on each vacancy. Dealing with a single consultant who does everything produces bottlenecks, as there is no one to delegate to and important checks can easily slip through the cracks.
We recently engaged 11 Recruitment to fill a senior role.
Christian contacted us promptly to explain their recruitment philosophy and process, and after we accepted their proposal Debbie managed the actual process.
Debbie was highly communicative, keeping us informed at all stages, and her highly detailed interview reports were communicated to us clearly and professionally. We felt that Debbie understood our unique requirements and was quick to ask for clarification if needed.
I recommend 11 Recruitment and would engage them again to fill senior positions.
Brad Whisson
11 is the first recruitment agency we have used. I would happily use Christian and his team again.
The process is very streamlined and efficient, and the calibre of their recruits is very high.
Christian comes with a wealth of knowledge and goes beyond what we expected. Thanks 11!
