🚩 WEEKLY PROBLEMS WE SOLVE 🚩
🧭 Aligning Candidate Criteria Through Proper Discovery 🧭
Ever feel like every recruiter “gets it” on the intake call then sends you candidates who clearly don’t? Misaligned criteria at the very start turns into weeks of wheel-spinning, rework, and frustration for IT leaders, executives, and business owners.
Why the Contingent Model Fails Here:
⚠️ Shallow discovery: Contingent vendors rush the intake so they can “get to market first,” not so they can get it right.
🪫 No real stakes: When a firm isn’t truly accountable for outcome, they default to loose requirements and guesswork instead of pressure-testing the brief.
🎯 Activity over accuracy: Resumes are thrown at the problem to see what sticks, forcing you to redefine the role mid-search and eroding confidence in the process.
How Asymmetric Talent Solutions Fixes This:
🧩 Minimum viable success profile: Every search starts with rigorous discovery to define what success actually looks like; skills, scope, outcomes, and non-negotiables before a single candidate is contacted.
📐 Evidence-backed alignment: Market data, talent mapping, and real-time feedback inform and refine the criteria so expectations match reality rather than wishful thinking.
📊 Transparent validation loop: Through our live portal, you see how the market responds to your criteria and why candidates are advanced or declined, keeping alignment tight from intake to offer.
🏁 Results that hold up: This disciplined front-end work is a core reason clients invest under 4 hours per search, meet finalists 25% faster, and maintain a 100% success rate on committed searches.
