Ident-A-Search
Like to do your own recruiting but not sure who the Players are in Tampa? MSA will provide a report including the name and contact information for (10) A-List Candidates within any given market. If you are unsuccessful in hiring any of the ten names provided, we will provide an additional ten at a 25% discount.
Specialty Recruiting
MSA conducts candidate specific Specialty Recruiting within any U.S. market. Examples of Specialty Recruiting may include bi-lingual candidates, individuals experienced with a specific product line, etc.
(1) Example: Know who you want to hire but can't reach out to a particular candidate yourself? Maybe the Candidate is working for a former employer where you still have relationships in place...going after one of their people may be politically incorrect or just uncomfortable. We can approach the Candidate and determine whether they have any interest in talking to your firm. If so, we can arrange for all communication to go through MSA, taking you out of the loop until the time of the interview. If the Candidate does not have an interest, no one will know (including the candidate) that you specifically sought him or her out.
(2) Example: You want to hire a branch manager with specific expertise with ABA's or in Private Mortgage Banking. No problem. Let your MSA representative know the specialized skills you are looking for.
