Approach
Recruitment is not about the industry, but the individuals who make it thrive; and if there’s one thing we understand, it’s people. Our purpose is to identify and understand what makes you, and your ideal candidate, the perfect match, through our innovative search methodology.
Explore your needs.
Our tailored approach involves close collaboration. Together, we’ll explore your vision, goals, and market to form a compelling recruitment campaign. This type of partnership is uncommon within the recruitment space.
Source the talent.
We focus on the passive market, an often untapped niche with top-performing individuals. Candidates get excited when Jagger contacts them because of how well the presented opportunity fits them.
Select your candidates.
Beyond finding candidates that can simply do the job, Jagger will ensure they fit long-term. We search beneath your surface needs by looking at skillset, company culture and personality fit, in depth.
Make the match.
Real connections happen between the dots. Jagger matches the macro, as well as the micro details to ensure both parties are informed and excited about their journey together.
Close the deal.
We expect a 100% close rate on all positions assigned to our firm. When the position closes, we assist with onboarding, communications, and everything we can to make the transition as seamless as possible.
We’re Human
Your candidates are human, and so are we. Each interaction is treated with care by exercising empathy, compassion, and candidness while we guide people through one of life’s most important decisions.
Transparency
Recruitment can be frustrating, so we manage expectations from A—Z. You will know what we know, with open lines of communication from the very beginning.
A Different Lense
Through using data, social tools and our innovative research methodology, we ensure a thorough understanding of your company, the current market, your must-have requirements, the personality you look for and your vision for the company.
