EmployersWe will conduct your search by:
I. Developing an Understanding of your Organization
We will listen to you, and other key colleagues you designate, to
understand the history, structure, and operations of your organization.
With your help, we will seek to obtain a profile of the personal
characteristics of successful people within your company. In addition,
we would like to receive relevant documents, including compensation
and benefit data, annual reports, company literature, and organization
charts. It is important we have a grasp of your company's
culture, operations and objectives before we begin to discuss the
position with prospective candidates.
II. Creating a Position Specification
Upon request, we can develop a position specification based upon
our discussions with you. This will include the title, essential
responsibilities, reporting relationships, special challenges,
compensation,
education,
and experience required to meet your desired performance criteria.
This position description will serve as a guide in determining
whom
we will contact and present to you during the course of our search.
III. Identifying Qualified Candidates
We will initiate a search to locate persons whose qualifications
and experience match your requirements.
Our experience indicates that many successful candidates are not proactively looking for a career move. To overcome this difficulty, our practice is to research appropriate organizations to locate individuals who meet your position specification. We look for individuals who have demonstrated patterns of accomplishment and success in positions that closely match your requirements. We contact these individuals, as well as those listed in our nationwide database and other confidential files on a direct inquiry basis. This process is designed to yield a pool of qualified candidates who are compared and evaluated competitively against each other.
IV. Interviewing Candidates to Determine Strengths and
Weaknesses
We conduct in-depth interviews with the candidates to obtain a realistic
understanding of their accomplishments, capabilities, and potential.
We also evaluate candidates to determine any limitations they could
potentially bring to the position. We will present the past work
experience and education for each candidate whom we recommend that
you interview.
V. Presenting the Best-Qualified Candidates
The final individuals whom we believe to be qualified for this position
will be presented to you for your consideration. Clients always
make the final selection of candidates to interview and hire.
VI.Conducting Reference Checks on Qualified Candidates
It is our normal practice to speak directly with individuals who
either are currently or have previously been in a position to
evaluate
the candidate's performance on the job. Confidential references
summarizing our findings may be presented to you upon request.
We
seek out candid, independent assessments of an individual's
strengths and weaknesses and their suitability for a particular
position.
