4. The Search ProcessThe Search Process
The Client’s Role
Our clients play an active role in the search throughout the process. From the start of the search, it is
important for the client and our firm to be in constant communication. Early in the search, in
conjunction with our client, we prepare a Position Description that we use to evaluate potential
candidates throughout the search. This outlines the necessary skills and experience a candidate must
have in order to be considered for the available position. The client promptly schedules interviews
with those candidates who we have presented for hire. Clients then give us feedback regarding those
candidates they have met with.
Client Consultation
In this first, very important step of the process, we meet with our client in an attempt to understand
exactly who the client is and what their needs are. It is important to us to thoroughly understand the
client’s goals and objectives, corporate organization, and position to be filled. We assist the client in
analyzing their needs in order to recommend solutions pertaining to the skills required of potential
candidates.
Position Description
Once we fully understand our client’s organization, we prepare a Position Description. This serves as
the primary written document to communicate the employment opportunity to potential
candidates. It explains the client’s organization, outlines the nature of the position, and specifies the
necessary skills required of a successful candidate.
Candidate Development
Next, we begin identifying potential sources and candidates by utilizing our extensive network of
industry contacts and accessing our comprehensive, proprietary database. We explore these
resources to identify those candidates who meet the criteria detailed in the Position Description. We
then conduct thorough telephone interviews to reduce the pool of prospective candidates to those
with exemplary qualifications whom warrant a face‐to‐face interview.

5. The Search Process, continuedThe Search Process, continued
Candidate Assessment
We then personally interview the top candidates. During these initial face‐to‐face interviews we will
also determine the candidate’s level of interest in the position, their compensation requirements,
their ultimate career goals, and their potential for success within the client’s organization.
Candidate Report
Once we have thoroughly interviewed potential candidates and find them well qualified, we verify all
educational degrees. We also check references by speaking with individuals who have been in a
position to evaluate the candidate’s job performance. We then prepare a confidential written report
for the client to review. The report includes the candidate’s resume, career overview, and summary
information gathered from our interview process.
Client Interviews
We present for hire the most qualified candidates, which the client will then interview. We assist in
coordinating any necessary travel arrangements. After each interview, we follow up with the client
and candidate to get feedback from each party. If subsequent interviews are required, we assist in
setting up the details for those meetings as well.
Wrap‐Up
Once the client company has decided that they would like to make an offer, we assist in the
negotiation process. Should any issues need further discussion or clarification (such as relocation,
temporary housing, compensation structure or any other related issue) we act as a mediator to
ensure that each party communicates its needs and expectations effectively. Finally, once the client
and candidate reach an agreement and the candidate is hired, we follow up with the client and
candidate during the first year of employment to ensure that the selection was successful.
