We understand that our role is serving others. You are the experts at your business; we are the experts at finding top quality leaders.Working together in a partnership is the best way to find the right leader for the right role. Just like in your business, teamwork makes the difference between success and mediocrity. Our search process is proven, systematic and thorough. We execute it diligently. Our job is to make the challenging task of finding and selecting effective leaders as streamlined and manageable as possible for you, our client. When our process is executed in partnership with our client and with our standard thoroughness, candor, and transparency, the result is an effective and high impact match between leader and organization. We break our process into the following logical phases: Pre-search Phase Meet with prospective client via telephone or in person to discuss our process, detail our services, and explore criteria for a successful search. Once retained, meet with the client organization including all pertinent leaders and staff members to develop an understanding of the organizational background and culture, current needs, strategic goals, as well as the scope of the position to be filled. Provide client with a draft of the Position Profile for editing/approval. This profile details the company, position, and criteria for prospective candidates. Once the profile is approved by the client, the search is fully active. The Search Proactively, seek out potential candidates by leveraging our extensive network of industry sources and conducting original research for each new project, as well as tapping into appropriate databases, directories, and associations. Once identified, take prospective candidates through a deliberate vetting process that begins with phone conversations and progresses to face-to-face interviews. All of this leads to more fully understanding the prospective candidate’s fit with the client’s position and culture. Narrow the field to a fully vetted panel of 3 to 4 candidates. Each candidate’s professional references will be interviewed and we conduct all appropriate background checks. Provide written Candidate Profiles containing resume data and summarized information from all interviews with the candidates and references, background checks, and our analysis. Client Interview Phase Assist our client in the development of an effective interview process that provides all parties the pertinent information for decision making. We will facilitate the ever-challenging scheduling and logistical aspects of this phase. Once the client has reached a hiring decision, assist with extending the offer and serve as an objective party for both sides as discussions proceed. Follow Up Upon successfully landing the candidate of choice, follow up with the remaining candidates as well as inform the many contacted sources that a selection has been made. Remain in touch with both candidate and client during the transition, and throughout the critical first year. Send post-project surveys to the client and selected candidate.
