Learn
about the client’s organization.
We
learn as much as we can about the client’s organization,
and the key people involved with the search, ideally meeting
with those who will have a direct reporting relationship. We
work closely with the hiring manager and search committee, and,
if appropriate, partner with human resources to determine the
interview process, time frame, and participants in hiring process.
|
|
Define
the client’s needs and position specification.
We listen to the client’s search objectives, and determine
how we can best meet their needs. We agree on a search process
that will meet their requirements, and discuss what the client
is looking for in a candidate. As necessary, we refine and finalize
the job description, and clarify the compensation (and relocation
if relevant) package.
|
|
Develop
and execute sourcing strategies to attract the best possible
candidates. Our approach is personal and specialized.
We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to sources and potential
candidates. We employ special efforts to ensure a diverse slate
of candidates. We send the job description and cover letter
to a targeted list developed from our database, specialized
research and the client’s contacts and suggestions.
|
|
Screen
and evaluate potential candidates. As potential
candidates emerge, we review their resumes and conduct initial
screening interviews by phone. For those who are most on target,
we conduct more in-depth interviews by phone and in person.
|
|
Facilitate
client interviews. Once an initial slate of
candidates has been chosen, we review each candidate profile
with our client, highlighting strengths and any weaknesses through
detailed evaluations. We then work with the client to select
a final candidate pool for them to interview. We schedule interviews
and travel arrangements as desired by our client. Following
the interview process, we provide and facilitate candidate/client
feedback. We provide constant communication to all candidates
throughout the process so that the experience is a positive
one and reflects well on the client.
|
|
Conduct
thorough reference checking. Once the client
has selected a final candidate(s), we conduct reference checks
and provide the client with detailed written summaries of each
reference interview.
|
|
Select
final candidate and close the deal. We work
closely with the client to weigh the pros and cons of candidates
from the finalist pool. Once a finalist has been chosen, we
facilitate discussions regarding compensation, start date, relocation,
and other issues as appropriate. We also follow-up with any
remaining candidates to close the loop.
