Research

Not a Recruiter? (See our Corporate Benchmarking Solution)

For Recruiters

We provide varying levels of research for our clients, from name generation to leverage support (pre-qualification of candidates). We have an internal team consisting of five leverage-quality individuals and 4 clerical, name generators. In addition, we own the exchange hub, our online network containing over 1,000 independent recruiting researchers. This allows us the scalability required to address projects of all sizes.

Our research is delivered in a variety of formats designated by our clients, including direct input into the Velvet Search Management System.

Qualified Professionals
Our research teams have been trained at large search firms, have a long track record of success, and have demonstrated strong executive interaction skills. In fact many have led search projects with complete corporate client reporting responsibilities.

Speed
Our team is focused on delivering quality results quickly. In fact, a current client is averaging almost one hire per month using just one research professional. To reduce cost without affecting speed, our network members can provide us relevant “used” research instantly, at a fraction of the time needed to re-invent the wheel.

Access to Premium Resources
Our network allows us to access expensive resources usually not cost-effective for our clients. These include Zoominfo, Hoovers, OneSource, LexisNexis, etc. Our volume buying power affords us discounts on behalf of our clients too.
