A simple trick to win the war for talent.

As a CEO, your biggest challenge is attracting and keeping top talent.

The answer to your biggest challenge? Set up a monthly retainer with a strong recruiter.

Here’s why it matters.


Without a Retainer, You’re Invisible to Top Talent:

  • Missed Opportunities: The best candidates get picked up before you even know they’re available.
  • Reactive Hiring: You scramble for talent when it’s too late, leading to rushed and poor decisions.
  • Unseen Candidates: Recruiters prioritize companies they’re engaged with. Without a retainer, you’re not on their radar.

Why a Retainer Changes Everything:

  • First Dibs on Talent: Recruiters bring the best candidates to their retainer clients first. You get access before anyone else.
  • Constant Pipeline: Even when you’re not hiring, your recruiter is always sourcing for you, keeping a talent pool ready.
  • Aligned Searches: A retained recruiter understands your culture and needs, bringing you candidates that fit long-term.

The Hidden Costs of Not Having a Retainer:

  • Wasted Time: Vacant roles kill productivity and momentum.
  • Shallow Candidate Pool: You only see leftovers. The best talent is already spoken for.
  • Rushed Decisions: Last-minute hiring leads to expensive mistakes.

Retainer = Competitive Edge:

A recruiter on retainer isn’t just filling roles—they’re your talent partner. They find game-changers before you even know you need them.


Final Thought:

Top talent moves fast. If you’re not constantly engaged, you’ll miss them. For a modest investment, you secure a continuous flow of candidates and future-proof your business. Don’t wait until you’re desperate—get ahead by setting up a retainer today.
