Firms that find candidates for permanent roles, including executive search.

Short answer

How do you choose a staffing, recruiting or consulting firm?

A good staffing, recruiting or consulting firm specializes in the roles or problems you have, explains its fee structure in writing, and stands behind its work with a replacement period or clear deliverables. Compare firms on specialization, fees, guarantees, time to results and communication.
