For the past 20 years, the desk model has been the dominant organizational structure in the recruiting industry. This one-person does all approach isolates individual recruiters and fosters an internally competitive culture.
At Transcera, we replaced the traditional desk model with a functional model that encourages collaboration and improves responsiveness to our clients and candidates. In our model, teams are constructed to fulfill each critical role in the search process:
A functional approach leverages technology to complete searches with greater speed and precision. To better understand the advantages our model offers, consider the following:
