How Rocket Talent runs a search.

Jonathan walks through how we scope a mandate, where the top 1% actually come from, and what happens between your first call and a signed offer.

Here are all the ways we build a world-class workforce that lasts.

01

Exclusive access to top talent

We work solely with the top 1% of the talent you're looking for. Each of our candidates is rigorously vetted to ensure they become an invaluable addition to your team. Above this, we only recommend talent we believe will complement your company culture, align with your vision, and accelerate your growth.

Precision recruiting through cutting-edge technology

We use our purpose-built, proprietary Rocket Talent Precision System to locate, contact, and connect with the top 1%. This system operates 24/7 all year round, identifying and engaging exceptional marketing, product, and data talent across both B2B and B2C markets.

03

Near-total market coverage

While engaging every single candidate will always be impossible, our 92.7% market coverage is as close as it gets. We scour every nook and cranny where top talent tends to hide, engaging highly-qualified prospects other recruitment agencies simply can't reach.

04

90%+ retention rates

Our placements have an average retention rate of 96% after the first year of employment. Better yet, that average remains exceptional at 94% after two years. Rocket Talent is committed to securing you not just any talent, but the right talent — people who will grow with your company and contribute to long-term success.

05

Well-rounded recommendations

We perform rigorous psychometric assessments, powered by our partnership with McQuaig. This gives us the bigger picture and the little details of a candidate's skills, personality, and cultural fit — so your prospects are qualified for the role and slot in seamlessly with your existing teams.

06

Comprehensive back-channeling

Beyond resumes and standard references, our vetting involves taking a long and attentive look behind the candidate curtain. From skills and experience to world-views and interests, we make sure the talent we recommend are the exact puzzle pieces you're missing.

07

Clearly defined success metrics

Finding someone for the role is the easy part. As part of our acquisition process, we define one-year success metrics for each and every role. This means you receive the assurance of measurable value from day one.

08

Access to our technology portal

Every client is granted unrestricted access to Rocket Talent's specialized technology portal — real-time insight into your recruitment process, so you can track progress, review candidate profiles, and reach our team with ease.

09

Substantial ROI

Hiring is costly, especially when you have to do it over and over. Our Precision System increases the chances of talent staying with your company for more than two years — an average saving of $127,000 per hire by reducing turnover and minimizing costly downtime.

10

Tailored growth talent acquisition

No two companies are the same, so the way you hire will differ. We tailor our strategic recruitment to your placement needs — whether that's the right growth marketer to drive acquisition, or a data expert for strategic decision-making.
