At Dickinson Smith Buss, we’ve been using the Internet as a powerful additional tool for sourcing middle and senior management candidates (and making appointments) for many years. During that time, we’ve developed a considerable amount of specialist knowledge and most of our Retained Search & Selection assignments include some form of Internet advertising.

It's clear that reaping the most valuable benefits of online advertising - cost effectiveness, swift speed of response, and saving time - depends much more on having a well thought out recruitment strategy than it does on the technology itself. Online advertisements can achieve a large response, and quickly, but if the quality is poor, then the money has been wasted and no time has been saved.

We have relationships with some of the most successful job boards, including generalist and function/sector specific sites, and can offer advice based on sound experience of whether Internet advertising would be right for you.

We know from talking to clients and contacts that there are some who are still uncertain about the role the Internet might be able to play in their management recruitment processes. To address this, we offer a service that we believe gives you a unique opportunity to test out the powers of online recruitment, with full support from Dickinson Smith Buss's consultants, at considerably less than the cost of most press advertising. A full specification for our Internet Response Manager service can be found on our Resources pages.

As increasing numbers of executives view the Internet as an integral part of their career development, we can help you to tap into valuable sources of candidates via online databases. We can also complement conventional search activity with online search so that no stone remains unturned in the quest for quality candidates.
