Employment Agencies work for the candidate. They essentially seek employment for the candidates who come to the
agency. Three common traits of candidates who come to employment agencies are those who are unemployed, people
who are unhappy with their current positions and people who are not sufficiently qualified. Essentially this pool of
candidates are limited to only those who are seeking new employment. Likewise for advertised selections, the
candidates who generally respond to the advertisements are those who are seeking new employment and therefore
the pool is limited.
Guaranteed results from Employment Agencies and Advertised Selections are, you will get the BEST of the
Unemployed, the BEST of the Unhappy and the BEST of the Unqualified. No doubt that a selection from this pool may
yield an excellent candidate but it will never be able to compare to the choices presented by a search firm like EMR.
A search firm like EMR works on behalf of the client. For example, EMR may conduct a search on behalf of a client
seeking the right COO for a specific operation. Normally, these candidates are not actively seeking new positions and
would therefore be unavailable from other channels except through the services of EMR. It would be EMR's role as a
search consultant to identify and interview candidates who may fit the scope, character, culture, needs and requirements
of the client, and then present a short-list of these candidates for the clients consideration. In short, EMR serves as a
management consultant - providing objectivity, insight, counsel and advise
