“ (2)

KAPITAL is a leading Search Firm dedicated to connecting top-tier professionals with organizations in need of their expertise. One of our key focus areas is the Public Sector –i.e. Province, State & Local Government, and Education (P-SLED) sectors in the US and Canada. 

We are proud to have partnered with several renowned organizations in this sector, addressing their hiring challenges and driving growth.

Challenges Faced by the SLED Sector

The P-SLED sector faces some key challenges in hiring as it relates to niche talent - 

Untitled design (62)Limited Access to Niche Talent:
Unlike specialized agencies like KAPITAL, public sector organizations often lack access to a vast network of niche professionals. KAPITAL bridges this gap with a network of over 150,000 candidates, 25-30% of whom have experience in the P-SLED sectors.

Untitled design (63)Budget Constraints:
Public sector organizations often face tough competition from private companies that can offer higher compensation for similar roles. This results in talent loss to better-paying private firms.


Untitled design (64)Onsite Work Requirements
Most public sector organizations require candidates to be available to work onsite. However, post-2020, more remote opportunities have become available to candidates, making it difficult to attract talent willing to relocate or work in-office.

 

How KAPITAL Addresses These Challenges

At KAPITAL, we tackle these challenges through our robust network and industry-leading vetting processes. When internal resources fail, KAPITAL steps in with our Executive Recruiting Search Service – DreamHire, which has consistently delivered exceptional results.


DreamHire: A Game-Changing Recruitment Process

DreamHire is a unique, evidence-based, 21st-century recruitment methodology that puts all the information about candidates at your disposal. It helps hiring managers make more informed decisions, unlike other traditional hiring methods that rely heavily on resumes. The key differentiating factor here is that DreamHire takes the additional step to assess the candidates beyond their resume by analyzing their soft skills, such as aptitude, attitude, self-motivation, temperament, maturity level, judgment, and other important factors.
