TO THE SEARCH BAR

Get targeted opportunities, delivered to you

We’re not generalists.

A generalist couldn’t do your job. A generalist won’t find you one.

Our Approach

Get on the shortlist

Our clients trust us to bring them someone who can solve their challenges. That means that you move through the ocean of unqualified candidates and straight to the top 3 in most cases. And more, it often shortens the interview process.

A strong network over volume

We vet organizations and roles, not just candidates. Stop wading through job descriptions that don’t match titles. We’re deeply involved in the process and will often help our clients define the requirements for their job descriptions.

We’re advocates

We invest in getting to know you, your skills, and your goals. This puts us in a position to align them with the most suitable opportunities. When we find the right match, we’ll be in your corner throughout the process.

We get Search & AI

We can do it because we’ve done it. We’re more than recruiters, all of our staffing experts have worked in the industry. When you have conversations with us, they’ll be actual conversations, not box-checking.

How we find your perfect match

Search architectures, teams, and problems are wildly different. We’ve deconstructed the complexity and re-fashioned it into a quick and effective assessment. The results of the assessment are split into two general categories, component-based and role-based.

First, create your profile and take our assessment

Answer a series of questions about your current or previous role. You’ll indicate whether you were responsible directly, indirectly, or not at all for various Search and AI functions. It shouldn’t take more than 5-7 minutes.

(Note: You will need a Linkedin profile, we use this to verify you’re a real person and are representing yourself accurately)

List of example recruitment questions

Get your results in our introductory call

We’ll discuss your results and have a deeper conversation about your goals beyond just the technical side. You want to be solving problems you’re capable and excited to solve—while working with a team you enjoy. We want the same thing.

Get introduced to roles that align to you

Organizations also go through an assessment process to help them clearly define their roles. When we find a great match we’ll let you know about the opportunity and make the introduction.

The Search Bar's approach to recruiting for search engineering roles is highly effective. They designed a clever questionnaire that cuts through the ambiguity of 'search engineer'—a title that can mean vastly different things. Their method frames the conversation around a candidate’s specific search profile and the company’s needs, making it easy to align expectations from the start. Thanks to The Search Bar, the hiring process is not just smoother but also more insightful and effective.
