Information is sought regarding our clients’ mission and goals, structure, philosophy, and major operational issues. Position responsibilities, skill set, and experience requirements are explored.

- A core project team, including a Principal Consultant, Project Manager, Researcher, and Administrative staff will participate in the development of the search plan. We prepare a projected time schedule specifying target dates for each major step throughout the search process.
- Identification and Recruitment of Candidates:
- Our candidate sourcing effort emphasizes fresh research and includes exploration and penetration of our extensive industry database, aggressive one-on-one networking, direct mail, and selective advertising.
- Candidate Interviews:
- Candidates most closely fitting the qualifications are selected for an in-depth personal interview, designed to develop an understanding of the candidate’s background, experience, accomplishments, and motivation. Management style and interpersonal skills are assessed and included in a detailed summary.
- Behavioral Style Assessment:
- We use the Personal Profile System™ to aid our clients in evaluating candidate style and potential fit within the organization (when appropriate).
- Presentation of Candidates:
- Candidates most closely fitting the client’s needs are presented for consideration.
- References:
- Reference checks on finalist candidates are conducted with superiors, peers, and staff in order to provide a three-dimensional perspective on past performances. Summaries of references discussions are provided to the client.
- Search Completion and Follow-up:
- Upon successful hiring, we continue to play an active role to ensure that a smooth transition occurs. We also provide timely feedback to candidates interviewed by the client, but not offered a position.
