How to Find the Best Executives for Recruitment in Bangkok

Recruitment practices for senior positions within an organization are vastly different than normal hiring procedures. Most employers do not actively advertise for these executive positions. They hire recruitment agencies to take care of the job. The primary reason is that such agencies are aware of the employer’s niche and requirement in the industry and better suited to respond to it. Moreover, it saves a lot of time and resources. Employers trust the approach and filtering process of the recruiters who in turn approach their job with a goal-oriented professional approach.

Here are some tips for finding and contacting recruiters so that you can find the best executives for your organization:

• Tapping Your Network: Many senior executives have worked with decent recruitment agencies at some point in their careers as a client or candidate. You can ask experienced professionals in your network, and they can refer you the right recruiter. There may be some other sources among your industry acquaintances and friends. You may also find yourself hearing the same names over and over, it may be a good idea to take a look at them. The process can be made easier if you compile a short list of recruiters. Those familiar with your industry are a good choice over others. Try to select recruitment agencies that work with businesses and people of the stature that you want to engage with. You can also suggest names that fill your profile to the recruiter so that you stay on its radar.

• Online Search: Do not underestimate the power of internet here. You can find various digital recruitment directories and websites which will prove beneficial. Many business organizations publish their digital directories online that can be downloaded easily. Some of them are free of cost too. Social networking platforms, particularly the websites that focus on professional networking can be a bountiful resource. Recruitment agencies maintain their profiles on these platforms, and you can connect with them easily.

• Business Press: Recruiters are often in business media, and you should check it regularly if you are in need. If you are interested in a recruiter’s profile, you can simply type their name to search for them. Information like the contact details is easily available. You can then contact them via Email or their official contact number.

• Online Message Boards: Many job seekers and recruiters appear on career networking websites and online message boards. You can contact both of them from these platforms. Some of these websites may charge you a monthly or annual subscription, but the amount is usually minimal. The charges vary from $40 to $360 annually and are meant to cover the cost of hosting rather than the primary mode of profit. For such a small price, the service they provide is invaluable.
