Reverse recruiting across borders
Your next role is in another country. The search should be run by someone who has placed people there.
Career Solutions Global is the cross-border practice of iCareerSolutions. We represent Director, VP and C-suite executives into roles in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe, working the hidden market directly on the candidate's behalf.
Why a cross-border search is different
The senior market is relationship-driven everywhere, but the relationships are local. A retained firm in London builds its shortlist from people it already knows in London. A recruiter in Toronto searches with Canadian titles and Canadian conventions. An executive applying from abroad is, by default, not on anyone's list.
Reverse recruiting fixes that by doing the approaching. We map the search firms and hiring executives in the target market, position the candidate in that market's terms, and make the introductions directly, so the candidate is on the list before the shortlist forms.
Market mapping
The companies, the search firms that serve them, and the executives who make the hiring decision, in the country you're targeting.
Positioning for that market
Résumé or CV in the local convention, LinkedIn aligned to how recruiters there search, and a narrative that answers the relocation question before it's asked.
Direct approach
Introductions to search partners and decision-makers on your behalf, and follow-through until the conversation happens.
Offer stage
Negotiation support that accounts for local compensation norms, and a plain read on the relocation and work-authorisation questions that usually surface late.
