Professional Services Recruiting

Talent Acquisition Services: Professional Services industries

A shortage of skills-based professionals is a significant challenge for the professional services industry. The specialized skills needed to perform services and consulting around human resources, finance and accounting, marketing, legal services, architecture, and more are a commodity in this recruitment market, and candidates can be scarce. In addition, high salary expectations are a challenge for professional services companies competing for top candidates demanding top dollar. 

How can Discovery Talent Strategies help Your Professional Services Company?

We provide talent recruiting, recruitment process outsourcing services, and customized Talent Acquisition Consulting services to professional services companies, working to elevate your level of talent and serve as strategic partners to your company. Here are a few ways we can help your business thrive:

  • Become experts in your jobs by learning the key subject matter related to the role.

  • Using creative means for identifying and attracting candidates.

  • Telling your compensation story to set expectations for a potential offer.

  • Opening lines of communication with candidates.

Discovery Talent Strategies strikes a balance between identifying current skills and knowledge and finding people with the aptitude and willingness to learn the role. When working in the professional services industry, we focus on ultra-specialized skillsets, taking complicated and obscure job criteria, and discovering candidates that can fulfill the job requirements. We take pride in our ability to be precise when mining the talent market, preferring the ability to discuss a candidate's experience with them rather than relying on their online job profile to determine their potential. Additionally, we openly discuss a candidate's needs and wants and prefer to work with organizations that enable us to discuss the likely pay range with candidates. Early discussion regarding pay can save both the candidate and the company time down the road.
