Why Red Seat? 7 Reasons To Trust Us With Your Next Hire

Hiring for an open position can be difficult, frustrating, and time consuming. And finding the right candidate in an extraordinarily tight job market can feel nearly impossible.

That’s where Red Seat comes in.

Our decades of recruiting experience, proven process, and tenacious solution-finding abilities take away the stress of finding and securing top talent. When our clients partner with our dedicated hiring experts, they report better hires, reduced turnover, increased productivity, and more peace of mind.

How do we do it? What sets us apart from the hundreds of other hiring services out there? 

We’re glad you asked. Let’s dive into the reasons why Red Seat should be your first call for your next hire.

1. We Are Recruiting and Hiring Experts

With more than 20 years of hiring experience, we know what it takes to find and hire the right candidate. And we know how difficult the hiring process can be, because we’ve been there.

When she founded Red Seat in 1999, Talley Flora, our CEO, already had years of recruiting and hiring experience. By that time, she understood that her clients all had the same problem: They were afraid to hire the wrong people and didn’t have time to find the right ones. They needed help with the recruiting process from start to finish. 

That’s why Red Seat was born.

Today, Talley is a leading expert on hiring, a sought-after speaker, and a valued consultant. The rest of our team members bring vast, vital experience to the table as well, with backgrounds in entrepreneurship, sales, retail, and more. 

Over the years Red Seat has helped hundreds of businesses find employees quickly, efficiently, and affordably. 

2. We Have a Proven Process

At Red Seat, we do more than recruit. We deliver a start-to-finish hiring process that saves you time, effort, and resources. 

Over 20 years in business and upwards of 1,000 positions filled, we’ve perfected our hiring process. In fact, in 2019, we had a 100% job fill rate! Here is our process, in a nutshell:

  • We define the position. What will your new hire do? What experience do they need? The foundation of a great hire is to really understand the position and key attributes needed for the job.

  • We attract, recruit, and engage top-tier candidates. We write ads that drive candidate response and know where to look for and how to reach out to passive candidates.

  • We manage all of the hiring details. Timing is everything. We have adapted and refined our process and candidate communication to meet that need for speed. Our clients benefit from our timely and attentive approach. 

  • We facilitate the offer once the right candidate is found. We won’t drop the ball when you’re ready for a new hire to join your team! 

We know what it takes to fill our clients’ open positions, and our process results in successful hires again and again.   

3. We Are Tenacious Solution-Finders

Our job fill rate is 100% for a reason. We are problem solvers, working diligently with every client to figure out how to find the staff they need. 

Our tenacity to find the right solution for every client is our magic ingredient. We dig deep to discover and mine new resources, helping us succeed where others fail. We take pride in filling even the most difficult-to-fill positions.

Quality is important to us. We look for quality projects and bring quality candidates to the table. When you work with Red Seat, you will hire a high-quality, qualified candidate.

4. We Offer Flexible Service Options To Suit Your Needs

We are flexible and creative, working with each company where they most need our help. We offer two types of hiring services: 

Retained Search 

This is our flagship offering, which offers the best value. Retained search is a great fit for businesses who: 

  • Have limited internal resources to find top talent

  • Have limited time or resources to engage candidates and manage the hiring process, or

  • Are searching for a key hire and need a dedicated resource to find and vet candidates 

Fractional Recruiting 

With fractional recruiting (unique to Red Seat), you benefit from dedicated expertise for as long as you need us. 

This offering is completely customizable: choose from our services, ranging from fully managing the recruitment process for hourly, skilled, and staff-level positions to smaller projects like name generation and recruitment research. Our hiring experts step in whenever, wherever you need them. 

You can leverage Red Seat’s recruiting expertise on a per-project or per-item basis, via monthly retainer, or at an hourly rate. Learn more about our fractional recruiting offering here.

5. We Value Honesty, Integrity, and Respect

Our business is built on a cornerstone of respect. We speak and act with respect toward  our clients, our candidates, and each other. We’ll be honest with you always, even if it means we turn down a project: If we are not a good fit for your needs, we’ll say so!

Our guiding principle is to do the right thing for our clients and our candidates, navigating each relationship with the utmost integrity. For example: to serve everyone’s best interests, we avoid working with companies that recruit from the same talent pool. 

6. We Work as an Extension of Your Team

When you work with Red Seat, we act as an extension of your team — your objectives are our objectives. We partner with you to find candidates that are right for your open position, lending expertise where needed and guiding you through the recruitment process from beginning to end.

7. We Make Hiring Fun!

We believe that hiring can be fun…no, really, we do!

We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We look for the humor in what can be a very serious process…which means our clients have more fun hiring when they work with us! We love the work we do, and everything we do is infused with that joy. 

When you work with Red Seat, you get a painless recruiting process, a strong pool of top-quality candidates, and the confidence that comes from making a great hire. All for less than what you’d pay a traditional recruiter! 

We are truly your path to pain-free hiring.
