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.
