Whether you use a recruitment firm to find exceptional talent or are considering working with one as part of your own career, the relationship you build with your recruiter matters. In this Talent Management Truths podcast, Magdalena Duleba-Lapensee shares her perspective on recruitment, executive search and why relationships remain at the heart of great hiring.
In this episode of Talent Management Truths, Magdalena Duleba-Lapensee, founder of Lead Search Group, joins the conversation to discuss recruitment, executive search and the importance of building genuine relationships with both organizations and candidates.
Talent Management Truths Podcast: Building a Different Kind of Recruitment Firm
After more than 25 years in recruitment, Magdalena has learned that successful search is about much more than finding someone whose experience matches a job description.
It starts with understanding the organization. Why does the role exist? What does success look like? What kind of person will thrive within the team and culture? And what does the organization truly need from the person it hires?
The same is true on the candidate side.
Magdalena believes in understanding the person behind the resume: their career journey, the decisions they have made, the challenges they have overcome, what motivates them and what they hope to accomplish next.
That relationship based approach ultimately led Magdalena to found Lead Search Group in 2015.
Relationships Still Matter in Recruitment
Technology has changed dramatically since Magdalena began her career, but one thing has remained remarkably consistent: great recruitment depends on understanding people.
A recruiter represents an organization in the marketplace, often becoming one of the first meaningful interactions a prospective candidate has with that company. How those conversations are handled matters.
For candidates, the relationship matters just as much. A resume can explain where someone has worked and what positions they have held. A conversation can reveal the experiences, character, motivations and ambitions behind it.
That philosophy continues to shape how Magdalena and Lead Search Group approach recruitment and executive search today.
