Phase I:
Client Meeting
A team comprised of a Partner, the Senior Recruiter in
Charge of the Assignment and a Researcher will meet with you to gain a
comprehensive understanding of the position requirements and the
environmental culture of your organization. This is to match both
technical and soft skills. Our services at this stage include drafting a
job description ( if required) that combines your needs and desires with
similar position descriptions at competitor organizations. We will also
assess your needs in terms of the organizations you would like us to
target and the level of confidentiality with which you would like the
search conducted. In addition, a M/WBE plan for each assignment is
drafted to assist in uncovering qualified candidates with diverse
backgrounds. Additionally, we will consult with you on
compensation issues.
Research
On
being advised of your requirements and the parameters of the search, our
research department will begin a comprehensive and time-effective search
of individuals that might be suitable. Our process insures candidates of
diversity are included in a search process.
Within a short period of time, sometimes within a few days, you
will be presented with qualified potential candidates with diverse
backgrounds..
Recruiting
The recruiters assigned to this search will contact each
individual on the research list to determine qualifications. The results
of this process are provided to you and candidates that are not a fit
are screened out. Preliminary reference checking is done at this point.
Individuals whose backgrounds and compensation structures are not
appropriate are also then screened out. Only the resumes of fully
qualified individuals are forwarded to you or posted on our Web Site
Client area for you to review. Often many of these candidates are not
actively looking so the team then proceeds in a persuasive mode to
encourage the pool of candidates to consider a career change.
Phase II:
Interviewing
At
this point, the Recruiter will meet with the best candidates, in your
estimation, and provide you with comprehensive profiles, including both
professional and personal information. The client will then interview
only the best two or three candidates for each open position.
Phase III:
Referencing
A
final and more extensive reference check is done for the top two
candidates with a report to the client. The top candidate is then chosen
with a runner-up.
Negotiating
Our
team conducts the negotiating process, assuring an outcome that is fair
and satisfactory and successful to all parties. Taking extra care during
this phase often will make the difference between a short term or a long
term employee.
