About Carl J. Taylor & Co.
Recruiting Has Changed.
We’ve all read the newspapers and heard the stories about recruiting challenges. A simple ad or a little networking doesn’t work like before. Whether we like it or not, recruiting is becoming a 24/7/365 effort.
Your need to replace a key person who has left or your need to find the right person for a new position requires a lot more time and effort. Your expansion to a new market or adding a new product or service line may not occur because you cannot find the right individual to lead this new program.
How do you address these challenges?
- Work with someone who has over 30 years of providing consulting and recruiting services.
- Benefit from the experience of someone who has worked with dozens of organizations and interviewed thousands of candidates.
- Take advantage of someone who has assisted clients with their recruiting strategy and their understanding of the recruiting environment.
In the Short Term - Executive Search
Do you have a new or ongoing hiring need in your department or organization?
Have you tried remedies that have worked in the past and are not working now?
Carl J. Taylor & Co conducts a more aggressive and direct search than your previous approaches (ads, job postings, many third-party recruiters, etc.).
We seek to:
- Constantly deliver candidates with stringent industrial, management, and technical qualifications
- Provide a custom-made search for your need, not a canned response based on tasks completed for other clients,
- Assure a thorough marketplace search, free of any constraints imposed by client conflicts or previous search engagements.
Given my personal experience in Management Consulting, the firm initially focused its search efforts on serving professional services firms (management consulting, engineering, and public accounting).
However, as my professional associates and clients moved to other corporate environments, my search practice expanded to serve a variety of organizations with their senior-level, mid-level, and one-of-a-kind search needs.
Many of my assignments are in the Texas market (Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio), but I have successfully worked with clients throughout the country.
The starting point for each search assignment is a thorough understanding of the client’s work environment, culture, and employer differentiation factors. I also identify the characteristics of the target candidate beyond the traditional position description and responsibilities. This additional information provides the foundation for a more focused search effort, resulting in fewer but more viable candidates.
In the Longer Term - Recruitment Marketing
Talent Attraction is replacing Talent Acquisition when it comes to recruiting. Waiting until an opening occurs to look for a replacement has become difficult for most organizations. The available candidates are limited, and they, not you, are in control of the process.
Recruitment Marketing enables you to:
- Differentiate your company as an employer
- Identify your target candidates
- Get your current employees and management team more aware of, and involved in, recruiting
- Strengthen the bond of your employees with your organization
- Raise awareness of your company in the eyes of candidates, customers, vendors, and the communities you serve
Just as traditional marketing promotes your products or services to your target customers, recruitment marketing promotes your organization to target employees.
For the past 30+ years, Carl J. Taylor & Co. has worked with clients in identifying and documenting why they are a great place to work. We know that a critical part of recruiting is selling the unique strengths of an employer in a meaningful and sincere way.
