The Process

From discovery call to successful placement in five clear steps

1

Discovery Call: Understanding Your Needs

What Happens: We discuss your role requirements, company culture, team dynamics, compensation expectations, and ideal candidate profile. This is a mutual Q&A to ensure good fit.

What We Need: Clear role description, must-have vs. nice-to-have skills, cultural fit criteria, timeline expectations.

Timeline: 30-45 minute call

2

Network Matching: Finding Your Candidates

What Happens: We search our curated network of passive professionals - candidates identified through ongoing searches, industry referrals, and our market relationships. We match your requirements against our continuously-refreshed talent pool.

What's Different: Rather than conducting a full market sweep, we leverage our existing network of pre-vetted professionals. This is faster but has narrower scope than Executive Search.

Timeline: 1-2 weeks to identify initial matches

3

Internal Vetting: Our Two-Stage Interview

What Happens: Every candidate goes through our rigorous two-stage internal interview process:

Stage 1: Skills assessment, background verification, motivation check

Stage 2: Cultural fit evaluation, communication assessment, reference verification

Quality Control: Only candidates meeting our standards move forward - typically 15-20% of those we initially identify.

Timeline: 1-2 weeks

4

Client Interviews: You Meet the Finalists

What Happens: We present 3-4 pre-qualified candidates. Your dedicated account manager coordinates all scheduling, provides interview snapshots, and collects feedback.

What You Do: You manage your interview process - we facilitate but don't run it for you. This gives you full control while we handle logistics.

Timeline: 1-2 weeks depending on your availability

5

Offer & Close: Sealing the Deal

What Happens: When you identify your preferred candidate, we facilitate offer presentation, handle negotiations, and ensure smooth acceptance.

What's Included: Offer coordination, negotiation support, resignation guidance, transition management through start date.

Guarantee: All placements include our 60-day placement guarantee. If the hire doesn't work out within the first two months, we'll replace them at no additional fee.

Timeline: 2-4 weeks from offer to start (notice period dependent)
