(This came to me from a VP of HR in a multi-state company - Steve)

I wanted to ask the others on this forum for their thoughts on using search firms. Here are the questions I was looking for input on:

1. Are there certain types of roles where you use a search firm? Is it primarily only for senior roles?
2. Have you had any success using a firm to find field-oriented talent?
3. What characteristics do you look for in choosing a search firm other than fees?
4. Do you budget to use search firms, or are you trying to save costs by doing TA work with your internal team?

I appreciate any insights you could share. Hearing from my peers would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
