FOR CUSTOMERS: THE CONTAINER

THE CONTAINER....delivering unparalleled search performance with uncommon urgency

Every company has staffing challenges that call for special, high performance search solutions. Sometimes it's due to a shortage of qualified candidates, or the need to access passive candidates. Other times, it's the result of a desire to enter an unfamiliar market or industry. Some positions come with transition issues requiring extensive communication and hand-holding, while others call for extreme confidentiality or discretion.

No matter the reason, special staffing challenges require the best possible search solution; Greywolf's Container.

THE CONTAINER....what's in a name?

The Container gets its name from the fact that it combines all the positive features of both contingency and retained search in a single service offering, while eliminating their respective drawbacks. Part contingency, part retained; contained search.

Simply put, The Container is the search service that Greywolf's start-up team always wanted to buy, but could never find, when we were working in corporate staffing roles.

THE CONTAINER....the best of two worlds.

When you choose to work with contingency search firms, it's typically because you want the flexibility to work with a wide group of recruiters with no up-front costs. But contingency recruiters can't afford to invest time and money on the research and dedicated effort required to solve your tough recruiting challenges. The net result is that you never really know what you'll get from a contingency recruiter.

On the other hand, when you work with retained search firms, it's typically because you want access to thorough research and expert recruiting, pre-qualification, and process management services, as well as some level of accountability. But this level of service comes at a premium cost, due in 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 installments, regardless of the retained search firm's actual performance. Greywolf's contained search service combines the urgency and shared financial interest of contingency search with a level of quality research, recruiting, pre-qualification and process/transition management services that most retained search firms only talk about providing.

THE CONTAINER….differentiating features

We believe in doing the right things, right; executing a world class search process using a time-proven set of best recruiting practices. The bottom line result is a set of 6 performance features that make The Container your best search option.

Feature #1
Greywolf displays a high level of urgency.

Our customers are generally positioned to begin interviewing a slate of pre-qualified candidates within 3-5 weeks of the start of an executive or management level search. And we'll do whatever we can to assure that things don't slow down from there.

Feature #2
Greywolf assumes a shared financial interest in achieving closure.

While we always require a retainer for Container search assignments, Greywolf doesn't bill customers for a final placement fee unless we've filled the position. As a result, we're highly motivated to finish everything we start.

Feature #3
Greywolf always starts with high-quality, targeted research.

Once we've defined your search requirements and primary source companies, we're generally no more than 2 weeks away from identifying your most desired candidates by name and title.

Feature #4
Greywolf only presents qualified/qualified candidates.

Candidates with world class performance skills are worthless unless they're willing and able to accept your job offer. Our pre-qualification process focuses on the candidate's motivation, compensation, relocation and logistical issues, as well as their performance skills. The result is a slate of qualified/qualified candidates; qualified to do the job and qualified to accept the job.

Feature #5
Greywolf is accountable; we show our work.

Throughout the search process, our customers receive progress reports illustrating the prospects and candidates we've identified and contacted, as well as their current status. With The Container, you never have to wonder what's going on with your search. To review a sample search status report, please click on Status Reports.

Feature #6
Greywolf won't drop the ball.

You can't afford to lose a great candidate due to process and transition management failures. Greywolf's process management knowledge is unparalleled in the search industry, and your dedicated Search Consultant will always be there to make sure that minor issues don't become deal-killers.
