Define Client Needs
(Weeks 0-1)

Further to an initial meeting
we commence to develop a partnership with the client. We define position
requirements based on organizational needs and business objectives
as well as personal attributes and level of professional experience
desired. In doing so we are able to tailor and align our structured
process and establish our search strategy.
Deliverable: - Search proposal and approval to proceed

Establish Position Description
(Weeks 1-2)
|
|
We work with our client and stakeholders
within the organization to develop a written position specification
document, to be based upon detailed requirements against which each
candidate will be measured. We work to develop an understanding of
the position and its history, responsibilities and a sense of the
personalities and styles of those whom the successful candidate will
interact. Our client is given the opportunity to review and approve
the final document.
Deliverable: - Written position description and candidate specifications
- Weekly reports commence

Candidate Identification
(Weeks 1-4)

We begin to develop a pool of potential candidates.
This process is performed through the use of our comprehensive proprietary database, extensive
network of industry contacts, comparative industry and competitive analysis, direct sourcing
and internet based research.
Deliverable: - Clients receive tracking updates on an ongoing basis
- Target list reviewed with client

|
Negotiate Offer of Employment
(Weeks 7-8)

Working closely with our client we negotiate the terms of the Offer of Employment with the finalist candidate in order to arrive at a "win-win" relationship between the parties. Our goal is to achieve agreement resulting in the execution of the Offer becoming merely a formality.
Deliverable: - An executed Offer of Employment and a satisfied client and successful candidate
