Search, Not Staffing: The Most Important Difference in This Business w/Adam Dalva

Talent Hunters

In recruiting, the best of the best aren’t in the staffing business, they are in the business of search. The 2 might not seem all that different, but they are night and day.

If you’re staffing, you’re waiting for people to come to you, going after the low hanging fruit and putting people in spots. When you specialize in search and headhunting, you proactively go to the market, identify those hard-to-find-hires and match them with the right organization.

How are top headhunters navigating the ongoing challenge of contacting people? What are the attributes of an exceptional search professional?

In this episode, second-generation executive recruiter and President of Search Max, Inc. Search Max, Adam Dalva talks about his journey into this business, how he maintains an edge, and what sets his firm apart.
