DIRECT RECRUITING PROCESS

1. Needs Assessment
   In order for us to thoroughly understand a company’s hiring needs, we first begin by familiarizing ourselves with the company. We learn about the company’s history, business, current condition, future goals and directions, organizational structure and corporate culture. We then learn about the specific position and brainstorm with our client to determine the required set of skills, to define the required experience, and to identify other characteristics necessary for a successful candidate.
   
   
2. Position Specification
   After carefully assessing our clients' needs, we prepare a written Position Specification, which outlines the responsibilities of the position, the qualifications required of the ideal candidate, and the criteria for success. This guides our search efforts.
   
   
3. Research
   Based on the Position Specification, we identify target candidates at target companies from our database or through research and identification.
   
   
4. Candidate Identification, Interview and Evaluation
   Target candidates are contacted directly and are evaluated for their qualifications, level of interest in the position and potential corporate cultural fit within our client’s organization. During this period, regular progress reports are provided to our clients to help them better understand the current market.
   
   
5. Presentation of Candidates and Client Interviews
   Summaries and resumes of the best three to five individuals who most closely fit the Position Specification are then submitted for review. At our client’s convenience, the Consultant schedules a meeting with each candidate, makes travel arrangements, if necessary, and coordinates reimbursement of any expenses. After each interview, the Consultant gathers comments and feedback from our client and each candidate to reexamine and/or redefine the Position Specification if necessary.
   
   
6. Referencing of Successful Candidate
   Once our clients have selected a final candidate, the Consultant contacts individuals who are capable of providing insights about the candidate’s qualifications. All of the comments from these references, favorable or unfavorable, are collected and then reviewed with you in order to provide a more well-defined picture of the candidate and his or her qualifications.
   
   
7. Compensation and Benefit Package Negotiation
   We can assist our clients in structuring the compensation and benefit package if requested to do so.
   
   
8. Completion of the Search
   Once the placement is finalized, we will continually be available to support both parties in a successful integration with the organization.
