The inception of TMG Search has been rooted in my calling to better serve our clients with executive-level recruitment services in relentless pursuit of unmatched values. Many headhunters would say that such values are to be measured by a placement rate. And yet, not many would clearly elaborate on what it takes to achieve a high placement rate. The key question is not about what but about how. Bo
mbarding clients with unsorted 20~30+ candidates will create unnecessary burden upon the shoulders of clients in terms of time and cost. Presenting big name candidates taking for granted their achievements on surface would equally lead to a costly consequence. Simply put, an ongoing and grave issue prevalent in this industry has been the inability of many career headhunters to assess candidates beyond their resumes. Values to clients would require a search consultant to possess “discerning eyes” in order to evaluate the right fit of executive candidates for each role. This capability would not be earned automatically by merely spending a long time in a search business. A true search consultant must understand a clients’ business model, strategies and operations as if he/she were a CEO of the client’s organization. A true search consultant must understand what is on and beyond job descriptions of Financial officer, Marketing officer, Supply Chain officer and Information officer. Yet, many transactional search consultants tend to place too much emphasis on a sheer human network to a degree whereby they would mistakenly equate industry and functional knowledge with the number of business cards they have collected. TMG Search has been founded in that context. TMG will zero in on values to customers as our reason for being. We will not pursue volume at the sacrifice of quality. We will not be misguided by anything superficial or shallow because executive search is not a mere match-making business with some key words on CVs. We will take pride in possessing a unique blend of professional search experience and deep industry expertise in the very sectors and functions for which we provide our recruitment and advisory services.
