Every capital market participant and every application and service provider is challenged to retain skilled resources. Regardless of effectiveness, they face an inevitable need to recruit experienced outside resources to grow, backfill for attrition, and plug key skill gaps. It is important that firms strike the right balance between in house recruiting and external executive search firms so as to avoid excessive dependence on outsourced services and the risk of out-of-control fees. The Cline Group Recruiting Services give you the option of allowing us to help you enhance the effectiveness of in house recruiting methods and sources or you can outsource your recruiting needs (and we love the hard to fill positions!) to us.

Recruiting Effectiveness is a joint offering of The Cline Group and Sirona Partners that helps clients improve and streamline internal recruiting processes. The Recruiting Effectiveness program is a structured approach to evaluate and assess the current recruiting process of each client and provide advice and recommendations for improvement. We share best practice techniques of sourcing, effective job postings, how to attract top talent, applicant tracking, systems management, and interview strategies. It's an holistic approach that seeks to optimize across recruitment sources that include employee referrals and networks, advertisements, online outlets, agencies and executive search firms, professional associations, outplacement services, and internships. Our functional areas of expertise include:

We perform retained search assignments for clients in our areas of specialization, leveraging our extensive personal network of contacts and colleagues who work in the financial services industry. We specialize in finding the hard to find, most in demand skills sought by both market participants and service providers. Because we too have extensive industry experience, you can trust that we already have an inherent understanding of your needs, the requisite skills and experience in qualified candidates, and an ability to properly vet clients in advance and not waste your time. Our recruiting clients include both global product and services organizations as well as small, developing companies.

Partners Joshua Sklut and Sara Simpson are both experienced recruiting and corporate communications executives who have worked with many leading financial services, consulting, and new media firms. In addition to the Recruiting Transformation program, we also do select retained search assignments in our areas of specialization and work with executive search firms to find and place job candidates for key roles.
