The Found Recruitment Program
The only system you need to find outstanding talent —
without dragging yourself away from your business
If you are a hiring manager or team leader, you know that finding great people is essential to your professional growth.
You ALSO know that finding great people is hard.
Because you’ve tried.
Several times.
You thought recruitment would be simpler if you tackled it in-house — so you took on the search yourself.
Ultimately, it was…
Exhausting
It left you depleted and time-starved, unable to keep up with your core responsibilities
Unproductive
After weeks of research and interviews, you still found yourself with a vacant role…and a team in limbo
Frustrating
Because after thinking you found the right talent, you realized (rather quickly) that you could have done better.
Did you know?
The average executive search takes 44.7 working days — or 8.8 weeks.
DHI Group, Hiring Indicators Report, September 2017
(That’s 1073 hours — and 20% of your entire year.)
It’s an awful lot of time to invest… and an awful lot to risk if you
get the wrong person.
Sure, you could hire recruitment specialists like Exige
…and enjoy a 98% success rate, the way our clients do.
(It’s why they come back to us, again and again.)
But can you afford to hire a headhunter each time you need to fill a role?
The cost adds up fast.
And you don’t want to end up paying a premium (£25,000 at minimum) every time you need new talent.
You know you have what it takes.
If you only knew:
which questions to ask
which resumes to hold onto
which words to use to describe the position…
If you knew how to target the right people and hone in on exactly what you needed, you could…
Get the job done yourself, quickly and efficiently
Save up to £50,000 per search
And you’d still be able to leave the office on time.
What if you could do exactly that — using the same system we use to hire only the BEST people?
What if you could access the secrets of efficient, effective hiring — while still having time to run your business?
What if you could learn to build a fail-proof
recruitment process that:
Didn’t consume your workday — and your life
(so you could focus on what you do best)
Allowed you to easily brief all stakeholders
(so everyone was on the same page)
Yielded good people reliably
(so you didn’t have to feel a pit in your stomach each time.)

Meet Your Instructor
I’m William Laitinen, CEO and Chief Recruiter at Exige. I’ve been running successful talent searches for Exige since 2001, placing dozens of high level executives in global corporations worth billions. I also present on hiring and related topics at corporate events across Europe.
Why am I qualified to teach you?
Because over 20 years of headhunting, 10,000+ interviews, and hundreds of successful placements, I’ve developed a tried-and-true process with predictably reliable results — and I want the same for you.
“When you have the right research, you can make every profile happen”
When it comes to recruitment, the art lies in understanding candidate markets — and how to source people. It’s all about research capabilities, and when you have the right research or sourcing capabilities, you can make every profile happen. Exige delivers that in their highest excellence.
— Patricia Turk, HR Director, Canada Goose International
“A holistic system”
The Exige system doesn’t just match word-for-word job descriptions to profiles; it uses a more holistic perspective. Exige looks at not only the profile but also the culture of the company, the personality of the supervisor, and other less tangible factors. This is how they are able to consistently come up with excellent candidates within a matter of weeks.”
— Sascha Weber, Chief Financial Officer, Polustech
“Their understanding of recruitment is second to none”
I have had the pleasure of working with William and Exige on several occasions. The Exige experience and understanding of the recruitment market is second to none and has been demonstrated many times through their first class delivery of presentations to in-house recruitment professionals of all levels. I highly recommend the Exige system.
— Mark Lennox, Co-founder, In-house Recruitment

“The Exige System Stands Out”
I’ve worked with many different recruitment companies over the last years. Exige stands out from the other suppliers through its extremely efficient process, higher quality candidates, and faster time frame. These factors offer a competitive advantage and help me provide first class support to my internal clients.
— Claudio Nagib Calcada, Group Head Talent Management, LafargeHolcim Group
“Uniquely Effective System”
The Exige system is uniquely effective. I have had the pleasure of working with William and Exige on several occasions, both as a candidate and recruiter. At every step, the support from Exige proved to be first class all the way from initial guidance to final delivery. William establishes long term relationships, partnering with his clients through trust and mutual understanding. I can recommend William and the Exige System highly.
— Véronique McCarroll, Head of Strategy, Innovation & Partnerships, Mobile Finance Europe, Orange
Frequently Asked Questions
What hiring managers have asked
before investing in our program
Who is this program for?
This course is only for leaders who realize the importance of hiring well and want to be involved in the recruitment process. Great leaders have to be great recruiters, because people are the only true asset a company has. So if you want to take on a more active recruiting role, we want you.
How much time will I need to invest in this program?
This program is a 6-week program. Expect each module to take approximately 30 minutes per day (or 3.5 hours per week), split between the videos, group calls, and follow-up activities.
In total, you’ll spend about 28 hours:
- 6 × 1hr weekly group calls = 6 hrs
- 6 modules × 2.5hr each module (videos + activities) = 15 hrs
Can my entire team take the course together?
Yes! The course includes group activities to include team members in the process; you just need to purchase one course per hiring manager.
Will I get to speak to William directly?
Yes. You’ll be able to meet with William each week during a group video call, where you can submit questions and get direct answers.
I’m not in the UK. Can I still benefit from your program?
Absolutely. Found! Was made for companies across the globe; in fact, a significant portion of our clients are based in Western Europe, including, Switzerland, France, and Germany.
What if I enroll, then discover that the program is not for me?
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If you complete all the modules, and still don’t feel you’ve received value, you can request your money back within 60 days and get a full refund.
Can this program be linked in with my company LMS?
We are able to adapt to your needs and fit our programme into your LMS, ensuring that you are not replicating your existing materials and there is consistency of delivery throughout your company.

your ideal candidate?
