Passive Candidate Search

RMA® maintains active relationships with senior executive management talent worldwide, to ensure we can connect clients with top-tier passive candidates.

Search Solutions: Passive Executive Candidates

RMA Executive Search™ is committed to continually seeking out and building relationships with top executive talent. This includes executive candidates who are happy with their current position, but nonetheless may be open to considering new opportunities: these are “passive candidates.”
Passive candidates are uniquely sought after by most companies, because they are already demonstrating their ability to create value in a senior management position. You have a higher level of assurance that a passive candidate can be an asset to the growth and development of your organization.

Executive Position Analysis

RMA’s EPA solution helps you better understand the precise qualities an ideal leadership candidate must possess to deliver top performance outcomes.

Executive Position Analysis

A successful executive search requires an in-depth, deeply researched understanding of the executive position, even before reaching out to candidates. RMA’s innovative executive search solution includes a detailed Executive Position Analysis (EPA), which assesses and documents the requirements, knowledge, skills, abilities, and other executive characteristics required for the leadership role.

Candidate Evaluation & Assessment

Learn more about RMA’s innovative evaluation and assessment process, which generates deeply relevant insights that empower better executive hiring decisions.

Candidate Evaluation & Assessment

Executive search projects for critical strategic leadership roles, senior executives, or functional executive management positions need to be more than a simple verification of credentials and interview process. It is absolutely essential to ensure that your next senior executive hire is an ideal fit in terms of meeting position responsibility requirements, suitable management and leadership skills capabilities, and superb cultural match for your organization.

Candidate Negotiations

There’s more to talent search than identifying, attracting, and recruiting candidates. RMA® brings effective solutions to the candidate negotiation process.

Candidate Negotiation Obstacles & Pitfalls

The candidate negotiation process is uniquely challenging for organizations and typically fraught with abundant uncertainty as well as common pitfalls to avoid. It’s surprisingly easy for miscommunications to occur early in your relationship with a candidate: one misplaced comment or abruptly worded email can inadvertently send the wrong message and return your search project to square one.
When that occurs, you’re suddenly faced with losing your preferred choice to the competition and settling for someone less ideal for your key executive leadership role. That’s a scenario that RMA Executive Search™ is determined to help you avoid.

RMA Executive Search™ for Succession Planning

Leadership change is difficult, but inevitable. RMA® helps companies anticipate, understand, and plan for change, to successfully reveal new opportunities.

RMA Executive Search™ – Exceptional Executive Search Solutions

RMA Executive Search™ specializes in providing exceptional executive search solutions across a variety of industries and sectors. We provide an unmatched level of expertise and performance to clients that require a high level of capabilities to fill key leadership roles.

Chief Executive Officers & Presidents

RMA Executive Search™ is a preferred partner for executive search projects at the highest level.

There’s no room for error in choosing candidates for these essential duties. Let’s discuss how RMA’s proven approach can deliver optimal value from the beginning of the search process to its successful resolution and make your leadership goals a reality.

C-Level Officers

An organization’s ability to meet its mission-critical goals and strategic objectives is only as good as its C-level executive management team. Filling these positions requires not only finding top quality executive candidates with exceptional knowledge, but also ensuring talent fits well into the existing executive management team and complements the CEO’s management style and philosophy.

It’s also critical to consider C-level Officers as a natural resource for succession planning and leadership development. This necessitates executive talent that is an appropriate long term fit for your organization’s culture and personnel development goals and objectives.

Vice Presidents

Vice President positions can be very challenging roles to fill. These executives are crucial to operations that connect with managerial executives, communicate and perpetuate organizational culture, and execute on the Board of Director’s strategic plans. When initiating a search project for new Vice President candidates, it’s critical to understand the role, the sector, and the talent market.

RMA Executive Search™ is a trusted advisor and superb partner for Vice President executive search and executive recruiting projects. Whether you need executive candidates for a functional Vice President role (e.g. a Vice President of Marketing or a Vice President of Sales), or you are building an executive management team (e.g. an Executive Vice President or a Senior Vice President), RMA™ can identify, attract, and recruit superior talent with the ability to achieve your top outcomes.

Directors & Senior Directors

Successful Directors are required to master not only the challenging demands of managing their subordinates to execute on the organization’s goals and objectives, but must also regularly report to members of the executive management team. The role requires a combination of leadership, people, and operational skills.

Depending on the precise role, Directors must have a variety of capabilities in their executive toolbox. More senior positions must possess leadership capabilities and experience managing larger groups and be integrated within a succession plan to grow the company’s leadership. Lower Director positions must be able to support and inspire teams to perform to their highest potential, supervise and mentor directly reporting Managers, and be able to perpetuate business objectives and the company culture.

Managers & Senior Managers

Executives at the Manager level are essential to ensuring organizational goals and objectives are accomplished on a daily basis. Finding exceptional leadership talent for these roles requires support from trusted advisors who can help you organize, manage, and navigate an effective search process that results in attracting and recruiting the most qualified candidates.

RMA Executive Search™ partners with corporations, enterprises, startups, and organizations of all types to provide solutions to identify, attract, and recruit talent for Manager positions. Whether you need a functional Manager to head up your Sales, Marketing, or Business Development operations, or you need a Senior Manager who has experience directly reporting to senior executives, we can present the best candidates and help you make better hiring decisions.

Senior Management Roles

High-performing companies obviously have an essential need for exceptional leaders in Senior Management roles. These are the key leaders who are responsible for supporting team and organizational success, by setting strategy, managing day-to-day operations, and directly nurturing all the elements that support growth-oriented performance.

Finding these rare individuals is a challenge that your organization must navigate in its path toward achievement. However, identifying, attracting, and recruiting executive talent at this level requires a carefully modulated approach. Announcing to the world that your organization faces a potential leadership vacuum at the top can have potentially damaging consequences that hinder your ability to function and compete.

Identification

Our process begins with an in-depth analysis of your executive leadership position, so our Consultants can understand the unique elements of your specific management role. This approach ensures that we have a framework to identify executive candidates who are not only well-qualified, but represent an ideal match for your executive role.

• Position analysis: Determine scope of duties, responsibilities & requirements, reporting structure & direct reports.
• Candidate identification: Identify potential candidates, network with relevant sector contacts, survey our Passive Candidate Database & confidentially expand the candidate pool using our secure internal recruiting network.

Evaluation

Each executive candidate is evaluated to determine an ideal match with our Position Analysis, for qualifications, career goal alignment, level of interest, and commitment to move forward in the process. Rigorous evaluation generates superb insights into which candidates are ideally positioned to succeed in your role.

• Screening & qualifying: Potential candidates are assessed against the specifications, requirements & qualifications of the position.
• Evaluate candidates: Candidates are screened using the Position Analysis, which ensures top talent can be accurately filtered into outstanding candidates.

Recruitment

Potential candidates are segmented into formal “Candidates,” who represent the best-of-the-best. Our recruitment process dives deeper into the specific aspects of your executive level opportunity, beginning with passive recruitment and a determination if candidates possess the appropriate management experience, leadership philosophy alignment, and leadership skills.

• Recruit candidates: Confidentially contact potential candidates to obtain additional information about their background & level of interest, then present the opportunity if appropriate.
• Semi-finalists selection & advancement: Positive initial recruitment interviews are moved forward to the assessment stage.

Assessment

Our highly experienced Executive Search Consultants and Recruiters fully manage the candidate assessment process, including pre-screening, management capability and leadership skills assessment, interpersonal skills analysis, mentoring and team development experience, management style, experience managing a budget (if applicable), and overall fit with your company culture.

• Assessment interviews: Conduct primary assessment & evaluation interviews, including all candidate screening processes.
• Final candidate selection: Determine & rank which candidates are most qualified for your position.
• Present candidate finalists: Presentation includes a formal candidate profile, which is a Consultant-generated summary of each candidate’s highlights & all other information relevant to making a more informed hiring decision.

Placement

At the conclusion of our search and recruiting review process, we present your hiring team with a diverse range of compatible candidates who satisfy each of your requirements and are verified as ready to accomplish your positional goals.
