Ned Turner & Associates is a contingency executive search firm specializing in the Wireless Telecommunications and Power industries for all career disciplines on a nationwide basis. Our services are performed to the highest professional and ethical standards. Why Use An Executive Search Firm? The Human Resources function performs a variety of valuable services for their company, including the employment function of which recruiting is only a part. It has a number of means to identify potential candidates - e.g. employee referrals, company and resume website, and advertising. Despite these resources, HR is ethically limited in directly approaching a potential candidate working for a competitor. Most company executives appreciate that identifying candidates is significantly influenced by the state of the economy, supply and demand availability, industry and market timing. They also understand the "opportunity cost" (e.g. lost business, achieving market penetration, customer support, management efficiency and focus, overtime) of key positions remaining vacant for an extended period. An executive search firm can be a valuable supplemental resource when individual company efforts have not yielded the quality of candidates within a desired time frame. Further, a search firm is able to directly approach any candidate (excluding employees of their clients) without the ethical limitations suffered by the Human Resources Department. For candidates, an executive search firm can be a valuable resource in supplementing their individual job search efforts, as well as understanding current market conditions within their career discipline.
