WHY THE MUSIC RECRUITERS?

Expertise
We are specialized professionals within the HR field, well-informed, and understand precisely what the roles within the sector entail.

Network
Our database and network are extensive, well-defined, and consist of specialized professionals who can add value within an organization.

Search
Active search (headhunting) is an essential part of how we work for almost all projects. This approach yields the best results and allows us to connect with latent available talent.

Time-saving
Upon request, we take the entire recruitment and selection process off the hands of our clients, saving them valuable time.

Independent selection
We always act as a neutral intermediary and provide comprehensive introductions of candidates (including profile descriptions, salary details, focal points, etc.). The “CV shifting” practice is not part of our approach.

International
Our work does not stop at the border. If necessary, we search abroad for the right candidate. This ensures that we always connect with the best specialists in the sector. 

Inclusion
Diversity is a focal point for us. We firmly believe that every candidate should have equal opportunities, and we apply this vision daily in all our activities.

CONDITIONS

We charge a commission based on a percentage over a gross annual full time salary, plus fixed emoluments. The exact percentage depends on the service-level and seniority of the role. 
To make sure we can fully focus on our assignments and fully partner up with our clients, we work on the basis of exclusivity

We charge an advance at the start of the assignment. The advance will be withdrawn from the final placement fee after an agreement has been reached with a candidate proposed by us. 
The rest of the fee is on contingency basis (no cure no pay). 

We are confident about our services. That’s why we maintain an extensive warranty period for every placement. 


OUR PROCESS

Briefing
We believe that successful collaboration begins with the right intake. During the intake, we discuss the must-haves, the correct cultural fit, and the objectives of the role. This allows us to draft a suitable job profile and assess feasibility. Ideally, we prefer to meet for an introduction at your office so that we can get a good sense of the culture.

Start of marketing & search campaign
In consultation with you, we utilize a selection of specialized media channels to promote the vacancy. Then, we commence activating our network and initiating our search.

Interviews with selected candidates
We always invite potential candidates for an interview either in person or via video call. During the interview, we determine what someone is truly skilled at and what their ambitions are. To ensure neutrality, we have developed a set of objective criteria. This helps us determine if there is a genuine match for the role we are filling.

Introductions to client
If a candidate is selected by us, we introduce them to you. These introductions are detailed and include, in addition to our impression of the candidate, information about relevant experience, ambitions, salary expectations, and availability. We also discuss any potential areas of concern.

Client interviews with selected candidates
The candidates selected by us are interviewed by you. We facilitate scheduling the meetings, gather feedback from both you and the candidates, and prepare the candidates for the interviews with you. We remain closely involved throughout the entire process, ensuring that all parties stay focused.

Offer and closing
We are actively involved in closing the agreement with the preferred candidate. Even after successfully placing a candidate, we like to stay in touch. If, for any reason, a placement is not successful, our guarantee policy applies.

Our approach
Throughout the entire process, we work positively and intensively with our clients. We provide guidance where needed and offer honest and transparent feedback. We’re in this together.
