#1 Defining What You Really Need
Before we ever begin a search we spend considerable time and effort for in-depth conversations with your team to really understand your specific needs and, more importantly, your business strategy and corporate culture. What do you really want this new hire to accomplish and why? #2 We Make A Commitment We confirm our confidence that we can fill your position. We confirm that we're able to put our heart and souls into working with you and your internal HR partners. Together we talk about the pace and process that feels right to us as a team, and how we will collaborate to ensure an enjoyable process that is comfortable and productive for all involved. #3 We Sell The Opportunity Why should someone quit their secure job to come work for you? We need to work together to create a position description and a compelling story so passive candidates will be willing to invest their time to go through the interview process. The good candidates always say “Not Interested” and we need to be able to convince them that they should be interested. This is a critical step to ensure that you attract the best candidates in the market throughout the process. |
#4 Requirements Guidelines and Schedule
We use our experience and our time with you to develop a perspective on your culture and how that matches with specific position requirements, ideal candidate characteristics, tangibles and intangibles, team chemistry and overall fit. At this point, we also give you a schedule for the remaining steps. # 5 Building Talent Pool With your wish list in hand, we target institutions, identify sources and leverage contacts to develop a candidate pool that meets your requirements. We make sure to include people at both ends of the salary requirements, and we focus strongly on local candidates with strong communication skills. #6 Status Reporting On a regular basis, we provide a formal update on the status of the search, including potential candidates expressing interest in the position and our evaluation of candidates we have interviewed. We check in with you weekly to incorporate your feedback and reactions to the candidate pool. |
# 7 Reference, Background and Profile Creation
We carefully review each potential candidate to understand how the individual’s skills, expertise and aspirations may match your needs and your corporate culture. After we conduct an in-depth interview, we consolidate our information into a candidate profile, complete with our analysis and the candidate’s self-reported accomplishments. We deliver each candidate profile to you in advance of your first meeting with the prospect. #8 Interviews & Feedback We coordinate preliminary and follow-up candidate interviews with you. We ensure confidentiality, and we make sure that each candidate remains informed throughout the process. #9 Success We work with you to craft, extend and negotiate the offer for your final candidate. We also make sure to spend time with non-selected candidates so that they both understand the decision and remain excited about future opportunities. |
