Human resources remain one of the top functions for any business or organization. They’re responsible for hiring the right talents to perform various duties and ensure the organization thrives. Though it might seem easy, hiring new staff can be challenging. Hiring managers need to carefully examine all candidates and ensure they make the proper choice. Fortunately, the emergence of recruitment technology has improved HR professionals’ capacity to carry out their jobs and select qualified candidates who will contribute to the success of their organizations.
Shepherd Search Group is one of the most notable companies leveraging recruitment technology to grow rapidly. Shepherd is a multinational corporation serving as the parent organization for twelve talent solution firms specializing in fifteen different disciplines including sectors such as pharmaceutical, wealth management, fintech, healthcare, dermatology & aesthetics, regulatory affairs, technology, healthcare, engineering, optics & photonics, nonprofit and human services.
From the United States to Europe to the Middle East, Shepherd Search Group works in executive search, permanent placement, interim staffing, training and development, HR solutions, performance coaching, organizational consulting, on-site services and recruitment process outsourcing. They’ve established themselves as the go-to company for all your recruitment needs to help you hire and retain the most qualified staff.
Shepherd established a solid impression by solving the fundamental challenge of recruiting and retention in the corporate world. Impressively, the company also prides itself on a staff retention rate of 97.3%. Additionally, they operate on a two-shift system, significantly reducing the time it takes to fill open positions along with an industry-leading 2-year guarantee period on select searches.
With its presence in 19 cities across six countries, Shepherd Search Group has a workforce spanning six decades speaking more than two dozen languages. The company’s efforts have been recognized by the team at Inc. Magazine for distinguishing itself as a talent acquisition and HR solutions firm focused on rapid-fire results, discretion, and superior candidate selection.
According to the Shepherd Search Group’s founder and President, David Gantshar, recruitment has been a business with a low bar for many years. Anyone with solid connections, a phone, and a computer could set up a shop. However, as the industry has matured, Shepherd has grown and shared their “open source” ideology with dozens of recruitment firms and hundreds of clients. According to Mr. Gantshar, the firm operates from the adage, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” As he said in a recent discussion, “Professionalism across the industry doesn’t scare us. On the contrary, it is welcomed. Those firms that don’t embrace Tech and don’t have a defined process need to step aside.”
Shepherd Search Group also has one of the largest databases of candidates in all their key markets ensuring the entire “professional universe” is at their fingertips within days of commencing a search. For example, within dermatology, they have 84% of the industry professionals in their database. This includes utilizing the latest in behavioral assessment tools to ensure all candidates match client profiles.
“Tech is at the heart of everything we do. Our clients ask how we are able to turn around companies that have failed under the leadership of others. My answer is very simple. Three things: Technology, Culture, and a Systematic Process. We incorporate these three principles ensuring double-digit growth in every firm we acquire” explains David.
An industry leader, Shepherd Search Group is almost finished developing an App that will “pull back the curtain” on the recruitment process and allow their clients to monitor the entire process in real-time. Essentially, the mission of Shepherd Search Group is to move the “needle” in your business by ensuring the most user-friendly experience available to the industry on a 24-hour basis.
