CNA Executive Search

CNA Executive Search understands that identifying that exceptional employee is crucial if a company is to grow and prosper. In today’s fast paced market this needs to be achieved as soon as possible using proven search methods that are delicate and precise. These unique search methodologies enable us to surface top performers in less than half the time taken using conventional methods.
All CNA Search Consultants and Researchers are rigorously trained in our own Pure Search and CABS® precision-matching systems. This ensures that the candidate meets the client's exact requirements and will perform in the job from day one.


The Executive Search Franchise

The Executive Search Franchise
Build your own highly profitable independent executive search business and still enjoy the benefits of being part of a large international organisation?

Yes! It can be done! At CNA International we have created a unique approach to the executive search profession that gives our franchisees real financial independence and the opportunity to build a dynamic and highly saleable business for when you decide to retire, or move on to do something else.



 

About the Company

About the Company
Founded in 1995, CNA Executive Search is a subsidiary of CNA International – one of Europe’s largest independent executive search and recruitment organisations. With 30 offices in the UK and Europe, CNA International is one of Europe’s most successful recruitment and staffing organisations.

History of the Franchise

In 1995, CNA introduced its own unique and proven pure search methodologies and formed a new franchised network. It supported its franchisees with proven business formulae and comprehensive training programmes as well as sophisticated sales and marketing strategies. Combining this with bespoke twenty-first century technology, the network has grown rapidly and built an enviable reputation as a high-quality provider of professional recruitment solutions.




 

The Recruitment Industry

The Recruitment Industry
Our business revolves around placing top-performing employees into medium and large companies who pay us fees ranging from 25% to 33% of the employee’s first year taxable income. These fees can range from £15,000 to £70,000 when a new employee is placed in a new position.

A CNA Executive Search Franchise is a fast-paced, low-risk, high-return, business service. It is a stimulating and intellectually challenging business and as franchisee you may work from a home-based office for twelve months, after that you are expected to move into commercial office space.

The recruitment industry is a multi-billion pound business and the demand for CNA services is forecast to continue growing due to the acute worldwide shortage of management talent.


 

Why Franchising?

Why Franchising?
The CNA Franchise means you are buying into a proven business formula that will give you instant credibility in the world of business.

Today’s employers expect much more from a recruitment consultant and have become far more discerning in their selection of a supplier.

Candidates are also more sophisticated and only want to work with consultants who are specialists in their market, and are part of a recognised and reputable organisation.

The CNA Portfolio of Services

In today's market, employers have become more demanding and expect a wider range of complimentary services from their supplier. The small boutique recruiter is therefore at a distinct disadvantage and can miss out on valuable business. As a CNA executive search franchisee, you are able to offer a range of quality services as part of your HR portfolio. These include: Middle management recruitment, interim management, IT contracting and Psychometric assessment. These complimentary services are provided in-house and enable you to generate additional revenues.

Market Specialisation
Our Franchisees usually want to work in a market they are familiar with, not because they have contacts, but because they understand the idiosyncrasies of that market. This experience combined with our training, reputation, systems and twenty-first century technology, enables you to offer your clients a far superior recruitment solutions service. These benefits mean your level of income will be significantly higher than industry averages.


 

CNA Training and Support

CNA Training and Support
Initial training is a residential course at head office. This is delivered by qualified CNA staff and followed by highly personalised coaching and mentoring by fee-producing consultants. Reinforcing this training is a library of trademarked Videos and DVDs that are all part of our comprehensive Franchise Business Pack. As you build your office, we continue to train your employees in what is duly recognised as ‘probably the best training available’ in the recruitment industry’.

During training you will be shown how to win business and fill assignments. If you wish, you can work on corporate assignments under our ‘earn as you learn’ programme. This means you can generate a fee income to boost your cash flow more quickly than normal. CNA works closely with you from when you join us, to when you decide to sell your business. We teach you all the skills you will need to build a solid and profitable executive recruitment business.


 

Selection Process

Selection Process
Owning a CNA executive search franchise is an outstanding opportunity, so we only select outstanding people. We are not interested in individuals who just want to earn a good living or own a boutique business. The CNA franchise opportunity involves building and managing a team of top-performing consultants who themselves, will regularly earn six-figure incomes.



Could you be right for CNA?
Previous recruitment experience is not necessary, but we do require you to have business experience in industry or commerce. We seek individuals that have a burning desire to be in charge of their own career and build a profitable business.

CNA provides a dynamic environment for those people who want a rewarding career in the challenging world of executive recruitment. We know exactly what it takes to be a successful franchisee and we will tell you early in the selection process, if we feel that you are not right for the business.

Cost of Franchise
The franchise fee is £30,000 and includes initial training. We estimate you will require at least another £20,000 for working capital. Most of the high street banks will lend up to 70% of the total cost - subject to credit status.




Testimonials
"I would strongly recommend CNA Executive Search. The training and support is first-class, and the breadth of services offered by CNA International provide additional business opportunities and a level of credibility that other companies lack."
Nick Evitt, CNA Franchisee since April 2004

"I derive tremendous job satisfaction from what I do and thrive on the cut and thrust of finding candidates who in turn become clients. I’ve got the best of both worlds – running my own show, but knowing I’ve got the support and infrastructure of an established and respected organisation when I need it."
Jim Smith, CNA Franchisee since May 2001
