What to Expect

The Direct Approach

Pinnacle’s recruiters undertake assignments in every industry. Underpinning our success as a generalist executive recruiter is our insistence on conducting a search for every assignment. Our ‘strictly search’ methodology has given us an edge in delivering the best candidates in the shortest possible time.

With Pinnacle’s unique search program, our recruiters objectively focus on both active candidates (those seeking new employment opportunities) and ‘passive’ candidates (individuals with the required skills, experience and attributes but who are not currently looking for alternative employment). While active candidates make themselves visible, ‘passive’ candidates need to be identified, approached directly and invited to explore an opportunity. With 8 in 10 of our successful placements belonging to this passive cohort, we clearly understand the importance of accurate candidate identification and professional & proactive direct approaches.
