Our Process

OURPROCESS

1. WHAT MATTERS MOST

Identify the challenges unique to the organization and the position

Share our thinking on what it will take to be successful in the role, pushing back on clients’ points of view as appropriate and offering alternative thoughts on defining the position

Create, in concert with the client, a tight candidate specification that covers the current situation, role, responsibilities, characteristics and competencies, challenges and goals that lead to success

Seek clarity on key stakeholder priorities and preferences

Delve deeply into the culture and challenges facing the organization to ensure “fit” as well as competency

2. DEFINE OUR APPROACH

Conduct focused research on industry segments and specific companies/organizations with relevant profiles to augment our wide network of executive sources

Build a prospect list of multiple candidates to provide a broad spectrum  for consideration

Conduct discreet conversations with our network on candidates’ qualifications to facilitate productive client conversations

3. Attract and vet candidates

Contact and entice strong prospects to consider alternative career roles

Conduct intense competency based interviews tied closely to the necessary competencies and characteristics required for success in the new role

Winnow the prospect list to a tight group of interested and exceptional candidates

4. Present short list of finalists

Create in-depth profiles relative to the spec including an “ in their own words” view of the match between candidates’ track records and the future challenges of the role

Vet and verify all factual elements of the finalist’s profile through research and referencing

5. Close the search

Lead or assist in crafting and negotiating the offer

Support the candidate during the often difficult time of leaving their current role

Conduct regular “check ins” with the client and candidate in the early stages of the new job

A FINAL NOTE

The key to success is open communication with both client and candidate. By maintaining a constant dialogue with both parties as the search progresses we avoid any last minute surprises or changes of heart
