OUR 5-STEP
PROCESS

1. Defining the Role

An intake call establishes position specs, candidate profile and the organization’s culture.

The first phase lays the foundation for a successful search and begins with defining a profile specific to the position (key competencies, management style, reporting structure, compensation, etc.) and developing a sound understanding of your culture, challenges, and overall goals and objectives for this role.

We review the role as a group and develop a client-specific search strategy. We use our deep database and referral network to find qualified candidates. This includes contacting people who are not actively looking. We begin making connections immediately. We commit to providing you a transparent process, starting our search within your market and expanding outward until the right candidates are uncovered.

Occasionally, if it is necessary, we will replace the candidate quickly.
