Most talent searches take several weeks to a few months, depending on the level of the position, the role complexity, market conditions, client availability, and alignment on candidate criteria. For professional-level talent searches, Cooper People Group aims to fill them within 60-90 days, although it’s often shorter than that, when the client has a compelling employee value proposition and can move quickly. The good news is that as a dedicated talent search partner, we don’t stop looking until the right person is found.
