We believe that staffing success has its roots in the first contact. To that end, we endeavor to learn about each client’s workplace dynamics, desired skill sets, and other variables that will drive the hire from the “get go”. From the obvious to the most nuanced details, our recruiters make matches based upon our clients’ expectations.

The Placement Process

Over the last decade, Legend has amassed a library of information about the businesses we serve. We integrate that intelligence to provide service that is measured by the quality of the hires we facilitate. As an added value, our expert recruiters provide immediate feedback about the marketplace whenever appropriate, in order to keep the client informed and competitive.

Talent Acquisition

Legend excels at attracting “A-level” talent. Legend's proprietary database comprised of over 30,000 industry-relevant candidates is an unparalleled resource for targeting talent. Our business model supports this effort as each of our staff members are involved in the business communities they serve. For this reason, Legend is able to present unique talent when other resources cannot.

Every resume that reaches Legend via legendglobalsearch.com, legalcareers.com, complianceHQ.com and hedgefundpros.com is evaluated by one of Legend’s recruiters. If suitable, candidate resumes are imported into our confidential database with an eye toward employment opportunities today, tomorrow and in the future.

The Legendary Process

Our recruiters understand all the dynamics that go into a direct-hire and are expert in the process below:

• Identifying Talent – we are resourceful.
• Evaluating Talent - we are selective.
• Matching Talent – we are creative.
• Facilitating the Process – we are thorough.
• Tracking the Process – we are organized.
• Closing the Deal – we are successful.
• Pre On-Boarding – we ensure a smooth transition.

One year later, over 92% of the candidates we place are still employed by our client. Whenever asked, our recruiters continue to add value by consulting on issues such as competitive salaries and related staffing intelligence.


Best Practices in Recruiting

1. Once identified and with approval, candidate resumes are presented to human resources or to the hiring manager. The recruiter, usually a manager-level employee, tracks the resume and champions the process through its various stages.
   
2. A Legend recruiter facilitates interviews as directed by the client, follows up, and keeps all interested parties informed along the way. The recruiter works hand-in-hand with the client to communicate interest and to advance the process. The recruiter also communicates continued interest and provides feedback and direction to the candidate.
   
3. In the event that a candidate is not invited in for an interview or not considered further after any stage in the interview process, Legend immediately advises the candidate as appropriate. This eliminates unnecessary or uncomfortable phone calls or e-mails from a candidate inquiring about the status of his or her candidacy.
   
4. Once a candidate is selected for hire, Legend’s expert recruiters manage the process through to a successful conclusion. But our efforts don’t end there; we work behind the scenes to ensure the candidate resigns successfully, is counseled past any counteroffer attempt and, starts at the new employer as planned.
