Carr Talent Acquisition
Boutique talent acquisition agency that actively headhunts top performers for clients in real estate, manufacturing, construction, engineering and oil and gas.
Carr Talent Acquisition is a boutique talent acquisition agency serving clients in real estate investment, manufacturing, construction, engineering, and oil and gas. Rather than relying on job postings to attract applicants, the firm conducts careful needs analysis of both clients and candidates and actively recruits top performers, including talent employed by competitors. Its stated objective is to make great hires through direct outreach rather than inbound response to advertisements.
The agency's recruiting method, which it calls Approach & Poach, is an active headhunting approach: the firm identifies desirable candidates and seeks to compel them to want to work with the client. Candidates are assessed against an evaluation framework it terms the A-Player formula - Hungry + Humble + Smart + Cultural Fit equals a great hire - used to identify people who are hungry, humble, smart and fanatical about improving. Cultural fit is weighted alongside skills throughout the process.
Placements are charged under a flat-fee pricing structure and backed by a 1-Year Act of God Guarantee. The agency describes its work as nuanced and consultative, with needs analysis carried out for each client and each candidate. Further information is available at carrtalent.com.
