Methodology

THE 9-STEP SEARCH PROCESS

We move in a logical sequence.  Based on the specific requirement, some steps can be performed simultaneously.  At each step, the Client Company can expect the materials indicated.

1

Assess Client Needs

We confer with the primary client contact to develop the position-specific skill set, preferred experience and position functions.  We also meet members of the client “interview team” to capture the intangible elements and to set expectations.

2

Develop Position Spec

We build a job description based on function, corporate culture and critical elements desired.

3

Define Search Universe

We identify and target likely areas to locate an individual.  These may include competitors, similar environments and vendors.

4

Recruit, Qualify Candidates

We begin the active phase of the search and contact the targets and referrals to locate appropriate individuals.  We interview the most promising people.

5

Present Search Results

We review the results with the Client Company to analyze industry trends, talent pool and best candidates interviewed.

6

Interview Select Candidates

We arrange client company interviews with the approved candidates.  Candidates move forward in process to second and third interviews.

7

Check References

We talk with people who are working or have worked with the finalist to ascertain skills and successes from a third party.

8

Present Offer Package

We help the client prepare an offer that will be accepted on the spot.  We clear away issues and suggest timing for immediate acceptance.

9

Consult During Transition

We talk the candidate through the resignation period.  We set expectations for the resignation meeting and coach the candidate on writing the resignation letter.
