The Search Process

A position description or performance description is developed for the client, identifying:

  • The responsibilities and the functions of the position
  • The qualifications the candidate will need to be successful
  • Characteristics pertinent to the company, its culture, and its operating philosophy

A creative strategy is developed for the assignment, one that will quickly identify candidates, usually one to two weeks. Using our expertise in research tools that enable us to effectively conduct comprehensive yet targeted research, we are able to understand our client’s industry and locate candidates that fulfill the specific search requirement. Finally, we develop an evaluation format based on the requirements of each assignment that provides effective comparison among candidates.

All candidates are thoroughly assessed throughout the search process, in person or via video conferencing. References are checked and several candidates are presented for each position. A fallback strategy is always in place. A weekly progress report is provided throughout the assignment.

We stay engaged with the client and the candidate after the hire for 120 days to ensure a successful transition. We can provide additional assistance during the on-boarding and assimilation process.

"My business interactions with Mary have been nothing short of top-notch. She's professional, hard-working, extremely well-connected, and seeks diligently to match up company and prospect needs. She really thinks hard about the characteristics of the "perfect match" between employee and employer. That's rare."
-- Candidate, VP Controller
