The experience gained earlier allows us to better understand the client’s expectations, in-depth verification of competencies, and above all, to interview the candidate for the position of president or director, at a level that does not differ from the one represented by the candidate. It is very important to be a partner in the conversation, not just a pollster. We also never forget that we are our client’s showcase and that high quality is expected from us at every point of the recruitment process.
Wirtualna Polska: How is the head hunter remunerated?
Monika Ciesielska: The head hunter’s remuneration depends on the arrangements made with the client. However, we can talk about two settlement formulas: fixed fee – a fixed amount for recruitment or a percentage calculated on the candidate’s gross annual salary. On the occasion of this question, I will dispel the myth in the minds of the candidates that the goal of the head hunter is to negotiate his salary down, and even that we are rewarded for it. In fact, our goal is to present candidates who, apart from the expected knowledge and experience, are within the budget assumed by the client. We very often inform candidates directly that we would like to recommend them, but the maximum remuneration for this position exceeds their financial expectations. As a result, we give the opportunity to make a decision on further participation in the recruitment process, often positive.
