Why Turning Point Search?
First, let’s talk about today’s market and economy. CEOs, Presidents, and Business Founders consistently say that one of their top challenges is finding qualified talent for their organization. The biggest reason for this lies in the gap of close to half a million more positions open in the United States than there are individuals who are unemployed. Unfortunately, the majority of folks who are unemployed are not a fit for the open positions for a number of reasons, which is why it’s so difficult to find experienced people for open positions.
Times have changed when it comes to Recruiting qualified professionals. A couple of decades ago posting an advertisement or job would yield dozens or sometimes hundreds of resumes. Nowadays, it is rare and dependent on the type of position and industry if a successful hire comes out of it, especially for professionals who have years of experience and a degree.

Tried & True
Modern & Traditional Recruiting Process
- We start by updating our list of your organization's competition in the specific target location.
- Writing complex keywords and Boolean searches, we cast a net in a certain mile radius using extensive modern and traditional tools and methods.
- A long list of possible candidates is compiled and then systematically and discerningly, narrowed down to individuals who have the specific number experience required, longevity with their current and past employers, and minimum education qualifications.
- We then target recruit each person individually, customizing the way in which we reach out, inform, and educate about the opportunity.
- Our goal is to receive responses on the first try, but we don’t give up if not. We try another 3 to 5 times using multiple communication techniques and channels.
- Of the individuals who reply with interest, depending on whether the position is confidential or open, we will share additional information about the opportunity.
- If there is still interest after the company name has been disclosed, we then take them through a more in-depth vetting process to determine motivators, required experience, including personality fit for your existing corporate culture, etc.
- Discuss compensation requirements.
- Calculate commute times, working on-site vs hybrid or remote preferences, etc.
- Once we have talked to a candidate in depth and feel that there is a match, we will present the individual’s profile notes, along with their updated resume to request an interview.
