Needles In a Haystack

9/5/2024

Many of our searches are like looking for needles in a haystack.

Unique specific skills, some because of a ‘dying breed’ that is still needed (mostly in niches of skilled manufacturing).

Some because of new technologies where the pool of candidates is limited (because the technology is so new).


A great search partner will provide the options on the types of candidates who are available for the offering.

That’s what we do at SCN – Search Consulting Network.

Then, we work with the client on selecting the best-fit person for the role.


Curious about your hiring experiences when the search parameters are tight.


63-71, clouds and some rain and some sunshine.

Make it a great day!
