Fish People Consulting is a specialized search (we prefer to use the term fishing, which we believe is more appropriate description of the business that we are in) organization with offices and alliances in UK, India, Canada and Africa that focuses on the non-active job-seekers for filling the important and strategic roles for our clients. This stems from our belief that the successful professionals are more likely to be focused on challenges within their current assignments. We also believe that success is a matter of habit for some professionals, and these fishes very often are also a difficult and elusive breed to hook. While specific domain expertise and experience are required for any assignment, we have found that the chemistry match or mismatch with the immediate supervisor and the mesh into the culture of the organization are more likely to be reasons of success or failures in most cases. We engage deeply with our clients to understand the soft-skills required, and the culture that permeates an organization to find better-fit and long term assets for our client organization. We have found that the successful professionals are not likely to be present in Portals, job-boards etc; they are more likely to be in googled out through news-items and press releases. Nor will they respond to advertisements. Fish People Consulting doesn’t release any advertisements in mass media, we use the combination of new technology and old-fashioned networking to find the professionals. We have also found through our experiences that these professionals are more likely to respond favorably to a casual and social overture than a sledgehammer cold call.
