Our Expertise

Duffy Group, Inc. is doing something very different in the recruiting arena. Employers think they are limited to a pricing model based on the candidate’s compensation. Not so. Now companies have a recruiting resource that is scalable and cost-effective. Duffy Group’s Recruitment Research model delivers both.

What is the competitive landscape? What do potential candidates think of your company/organization? Is local talent available or will we get stronger candidates if we search outside the region? CEOs, company leaders and HR managers depend on Duffy Group for ongoing analyses of market intelligence to answer questions like these.

Our Practice Leaders are the recruitment experts in their fields. They know the people, the companies, and their industries inside and out.

Construction

The construction industry is booming and Duffy Group is leading the way with innovative strategies to recruit top tier talent for many of the largest firms in the industry. With an eye toward quickly implementing a strategic multi-facetted approach to recruiting, we leverage our construction industry network, blending cold calling techniques, with internet outreach to identify prospects. Duffy’s recruiting expertise is skilled at attracting “passive job seekers”- those individuals difficult to attract using traditional recruiting efforts.

From directors to C-suite executives, from clinical to administrative, we have the access, experience and knowledge to locate and recruit the finest talent.

Higher Education

Ever tightening budgets. Relentless scrutiny. Talent poaching. At state schools, private colleges and for-profit institutions, higher education professionals are stressed by these issues and stretched too thin without adding on the challenge of recruiting top talent. Since 2001, Duffy Group has nurtured relationships in this specialized niche and has become a go-to resource for educational institutions around the country searching for premier faculty and administrative staff.

Non-Profit

Our experience working closely with non-profit organizations has enabled us to understand the challenges of recruiting within this unique environment where different stakeholders (e.g., board members and legacy founders) may have a say in the hiring process. Duffy Group’s cost-efficient model is of particular value in the non-profit arena where budgets are usually tight, and where focus needs to be on the organization’s mission not recruiting, and volunteers may be involved. For non-profit clients, we often serve as the Search Facilitator within the search committee, which is often comprised of individuals new to talent searches.
