Why recruitment processes stall
Delays often start before a role goes live. Without a shared brief and criteria, irrelevant CVs enter and interviews lose focus. Suitable candidates may disengage. A structured process supports consistent decisions.
The role is unclear
HR and the hiring manager have not aligned on responsibilities or success measures, so the search starts with an unreliable brief.
Suitable candidates do not apply
Qualified people may not be active applicants or respond. Direct search and targeted outreach can reach them.
Interviews consume management time
Unmatched applicants create unnecessary screening and calls. Pre-assessment keeps final interviews focused on credible candidates.
Decisions are difficult to compare
Different criteria and undocumented feedback make comparisons difficult. A shared scorecard supports a clearer final decision.

When does an external recruitment partner add value?
An external recruitment partner helps with hard-to-fill growth, specialist or management roles with limited sourcing capacity. For organisation design or pay structure, use HR consulting.
A partnership is a good fit when…
- Specialist roles remain open after advertising.
- Managers interview too many unsuitable candidates.
- You need a network in a new sector or job family.
- Assessment quality must become consistent across teams.
The internal team may be enough when…
- Roles are general, repetitive and low in volume.
- You have a current database and sufficient network reach.
- The team has time and skill for sourcing and assessment.
- The process already delivers strong acceptance and retention.

These answers explain the scope of our service and the main recruitment options available.
What stages are included in your recruitment services?
Our recruitment services in Iran begin with an intake meeting to define the hiring need and role profile. We then map the relevant talent market and select suitable search channels. After identifying prospects, we hold initial conversations and assess role fit. You receive a shortlist with a report on each candidate. We also coordinate employer interviews, consolidate feedback and support the offer process.
What types of roles do you recruit for?
We focus on specialist and management roles, particularly positions that attract few relevant candidates through public advertising. The search can cover technical or commercial functions and is adapted to the sector, city and available talent pool in Iran. For C-suite roles, we first assess the required confidentiality and search complexity, then recommend the most appropriate recruitment route.
When will we see the first candidates?
The first qualified candidates are usually presented within 2 to 4 weeks. Timing depends on how scarce the required skills are. Seniority and work location also affect candidate availability in Iran. Before starting, we review the expected timeline with the hiring manager. During the search, we report on market conditions and candidate feedback. We refine the estimate after the initial role-definition session.
How does this service differ from executive search and RPO?
This service supports targeted hiring for specialist and management roles through a defined recruitment process. executive search focuses on confidential, direct approaches for C-suite and other senior leadership appointments. recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is suitable when an employer wants an external team to manage a broader part of ongoing recruitment operations. The right route depends on role level, concurrent hiring volume and the internal team's expected involvement.
Which role has become difficult to fill?
Send the title, sector, location and desired timing. We will assess search feasibility and recommend a suitable approach.
