How do we market to companies and candidates on the same site without confusing either audience?

We build clearly separated navigation paths and content for each audience from the homepage forward, so a hiring company and a prospective candidate each land on content built exactly to address their concerns.

Should we publish placement success rates or retention data?

Yes, where you have credible data to share. Corporate clients evaluating recruiting firms exactly look for evidence of effectiveness beyond a sales pitch, and firms willing to share verifiable performance data build meaningfully more trust than those that do not.

How important is confidentiality messaging really, for reaching passive candidates?

Very important. A senior professional considering a confidential move is taking verifiable professional risk by responding to outreach, and clear, credible confidentiality practices are often the deciding factor in whether they engage at all.

We specialize in a targeted industry. Should that be central to our positioning?

Yes. Both corporate clients and candidates in specialized fields strongly prefer recruiters with demonstrated sector experience over generalists, and leading with that specialization typically outperforms broader positioning for firms with genuine niche depth.

Executive Recruiting Firms

We build confidential candidate portals and websites for executive recruiting firms.

Our experience shows executive recruiters sell discretion and access to a talent pool candidates and clients cannot easily replicate themselves.
