Step 1: We have
an initial conversation to understand your goals, the status of
your career, and your needs at this time. If we have an assignment
that’s a fit, and you’re interested, we then discuss details about
the company, the culture, the position, geography, and
compensation range. If you contacted us, and your background isn’t
a match to any of our assignments, but you’re a candidate we’re
interested in, we’ll keep your information on file for future
opportunities.
Step 2: Upon
receiving your updated resume in “Word” format, we promise to
acknowledge the receipt of your resume promptly. We then determine
if an opportunity is an appropriate fit, and with your approval,
we’ll submit your background to our client. In most cases, we
submit more than one candidate.
Step 3: We then
receive feedback from our client and get as much information as
possible to determine their interest in you.
Step 4: If
they’re interested, we make arrangements for all client
interviews, which can be by phone or in person. If travel is
involved, we work closely with you and the client to make the
arrangements as smooth as possible. Unless you’re told otherwise,
travel is always at the client’s expense.
Step 5: We
gather feedback from both you and the client to get impressions
about the fit, match of skill set with job requirements,
connection with hiring manager, career path, goals, and
motivation. If there’s continued interest from both sides, we
arrange follow-up interviews as necessary.
Step 6: If
either side does not want to continue, we attempt to be as
positive and constructive as possible, since it’s typically a good
learning experience for both you and the client. However, if
there’s continued interest to the point of making an offer, we
work closely with the client to construct a package that’s
attractive and consistent with your goals. At this point you
may be asked for references for a formal background check.
Step 7: If you
accept the offer, we make sure all the details are confirmed—such
as base salary, incentives, benefits, title, and relocation (if
necessary). We negotiate a start date, and, if necessary, even
help you with giving notice to your current employer. We follow up
with you after the move to determine if there are any loose ends
that need to be tied up.
Finally, we know most searches are unique and often present
different types of challenges. But whatever they are, we work to
make sure your needs and our client’s needs are as close a match
as possible.
