OUR SEARCH PROCESS

First, in each assignment we identify and review qualified candidates for the position. Finding individuals who are well qualified and prepared to consider a change in employment is the prime objective of our assignments. We believe this is best accomplished through research and direct sourcing, except under special circumstances when advertising might be the only alternative or if a public announcement is required.

Next, we invite the most promising candidates in for an interview. We assess their background, experience, potential and chemistry to fit well within your organization. We also determine if they want the job and why. Their reasons are an important part of our evaluation.

After we have interviewed and assessed the candidates, we prepare interview notes to accompany the best candidates' resumes which include the persons' present position, mandate, reporting relationships, supervisory responsibility, education, accomplishments, previous work history, compensation and interest in pursuing the opportunity. We then discuss our findings, and together with our client decide on the details for presentation and client interviews. We make our assessments as objectively as we can, bringing up any concerns the candidate may have about the position and letting you know their expectations.

In the next step, intensive discussions are conducted on the relative strengths of the candidates. Detailed reference checks on the finalists are carried out. Of course, the final appointment decision is always the client's. Given that an offer is no guarantee that the selected candidate will accept it, we now use our diplomacy and negotiation experience to work with you to facilitate a positive response.

We accept the responsibility to manage the entire recruitment process on your behalf, in order to ensure that no one's time is wasted and both sides are aware of the other's needs and expectations. As we progress through an assignment, all candidates, regardless of source, are integrated into the search process and are evaluated in the same focus by us to maintain continuity and objectivity.
