Client Focus

Our search professionals are relationship driven. We believe that client interests come first, and we emphasize trust and confidentiality in our dealings with both clients and candidates.

From the outset, we work closely with clients to develop a clear understanding of their company, their values, their business goals, their market and their staffing needs. Because we listen first, we don't waste time later. We are dedicated to helping our clients make the best possible hiring decisions-whether they need to hire one key manager or staff an entire department.

Planning & Research

We begin by defining the scope of the project and creating profiles for the positions to be filled. We work closely with you to customize the search based on your unique staffing needs and company culture.

Candidate Contact
Once potential candidates are identified, we make contact with them on a direct, personal basis. This phase-possibly the most critical time of the search - is twofold:

• We become your spokesperson, representing your company in the same professional manner in which you would represent it yourself. We present the objectives, opportunities, responsibilities and advancement potential associated with the positions you need to fill.
• We compare the qualifications of the candidates against the comprehensive profiles developed during the planning stage. Only when a strong mutual interest between you and the candidate is determined does the process continue.

Presentation of Candidates
Once our thorough screening process is completed and candidates have been evaluated, only the outstanding candidates are presented for your consideration. We also assist you in scheduling and monitoring the interview process with your management team.

We have a conference room available for client company use which allows you to conduct initial, confidential interviews in a neutral location.

The Decision and the Offer
While you alone make the decision on the best candidate for your organization, we can assist you during this critical phase. Reference checks provide you with invaluable information, which helps you, make the right choice. We offer counsel and facilitate communications on salary terms, relocation and benefits. We try to remove some of the emotion of the salary negotiation process - with continuing discussions of a realistic compensation package to be offered by the company and the expectations of the candidate to ensure success at the offer stage. We also talk with the spouse especially when considering relocation and how this will impact the entire family. We also assist the candidate through the emotional process of resigning his or her present position and dealing with counteroffers.

Ongoing Relationship
Our goal is to provide your company with people who will contribute to your corporate goals and make a real impact on your organization. After the candidate is hired, we maintain contact with you and with the candidate to ensure that this goal is accomplished.
