The Search Process

Efficient, effective executive searches designed to deliver the ideal fit.

Good communications – before, during, and after a search – can translate into executive hires that more appropriately fit your company personality and values, as well as shave weeks off the executive recruitment process.

At Spilman & Associates, we remain accountable, focused, and in communication with you to close our assignments in about 30 days – half the industry average. What's more, because of our size, we can access executive pools not available to our larger competitors due to conflicts of interest. So, you receive a more compatible, appropriate hire.

 Our search process includes:

  • An accurate profile of the position and successful candidate requirements based on your company, its culture, and operating philosophy
  • A creative strategy to conduct a comprehensive yet targeted search, identifying candidates within two weeks
  • A thorough understanding of your industry to locate candidates that fulfill your specific search requirements
  • A custom evaluation format, based on the requirements of each search, providing the most effective comparison tool among candidates
  • All candidates are assessed in person or via video conferencing
  • An executive assessment is presented for each candidate matching the skills to the professional requirements, an additional measurement of success
  • All candidates are thoroughly vetted, references are scrupulously 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
