Why is retained search so critical to your success?  Why not just try to fill management
team positions on your own, or with the help of several contingency search firms?  

Many startups often wonder why they should initiate a retained search when it seems like
there are plenty of resumes available on the Internet or from contingency search firms.  The
following
Retained Search FAQ highlights many of the reasons that an excellent retained
search firm will typically provide far better candidates and be able to successfully complete
the search process in a reasonable amount of time while the hiring manager experiences
much less wasted time, effort and frustration.

Occasionally, through serious networking and fortuitous serendipity, you will be able to add
an outstanding executive to your management team.  It's more likely, however, that you will
spend a significant portion of your time recruiting for critical positions and just end up being
frustrated at the drain on your valuable time and your lack of success.  You have become the
leader of an exciting startup by being an expert in certain areas.  It is far better for you to focus
on the strengths and skills that got you to this point, rather that let the severe distraction of
constant recruiting take you away from what you do best.
