Why not use a sourcing expert for your search needs? After all, the main value in search is sourcing top talent.

On those occasions when you absolutely, positively must fill the position, a retained search can be your best option.

It’s important to know that a search firm is only as good as it’s sourcing capability. That’s where we shine. Whether you’re targeting a particular locale, or doing a nationwide search, The A-List can find the talent you need.

Search: a higher level of service

While sourcing is a cost-effective strategy for many hiring needs, it may not be appropriate for every position. At executive levels, many clients prefer to engage in a full Search. 

The A-List Search offers a higher level of service. This involves working directly with the hiring executive to define the scope of the position. The selection criteria are more nuanced than a typical sourcing effort, and the selection process adds further complexity.


In any search assignment, the firm’s most important competency is the ability to source effectively. Why not use a company whose core competency is sourcing? And, when you absolutely need to get it right, a retained search is your best option. Whether you’re targeting a particular locale, conducting a nationwide search, or scouring the globe for a C-level executive, The A-List can find the talent you need.
