Working collaboratively, we assess your needs to determine the immediate and strategic scope of the position, the necessary competencies, experience, preferable industry/environment and other interpersonal and organizational relationships that are required of the successful candidate.
Specifications for the Position
Upon assessing your needs, we prepare a position specification that details position responsibilities, candidate qualifications, and standards for successful results.
Search Strategy
We utilize a synergistic strategy including dialogue among search consultants, information from our search databases provided by our research team, and client recommendations of targeted candidates and/or companies. Consultants begin progress reports with the client.
Candidate Sourcing
Our Search professionals make discrete inquiries for initial qualification of prospective candidates, and to market the opportunity.
Candidate Interviews
Candidates are pre-screened and those selected receive in-depth interviews and evaluations by our search consultant with written results for each candidate on their experience, qualifications, and match to your position and organization. 
Candidate Presentation
Reports on the top qualified candidates are developed and submitted for your review and discussion.
Client Interviews
On your behalf, our consultants schedule meetings at mutually convenient times, arrange for candidate accommodations and travel, and brief the candidates on expense reimbursement. Following interviews, we debrief both candidate and client for feedback.
