Seven Steps to a Successful Hire
Strategic Needs Assessment
We partner closely with leadership to clarify the role, success metrics, cultural dynamics, and long-term business objectives. This step ensures alignment before the search begins and prevents costly mis-hires.
Confidential Outreach & Candidate Evaluation
Qualified candidates are approached tactfully and evaluated through structured interviews, targeted questionnaires, and in-depth discussions to assess experience, leadership capability, motivation, and cultural fit.
Client & Candidate Interview Management
We coordinate and prepare both parties for interviews, facilitate feedback loops, and advise throughout the process to ensure momentum, clarity, and alignment on both sides.
Offer, Acceptance & Onboarding Support
We assist with offer strategy, negotiations, and acceptance, then remain actively involved through onboarding to support a smooth transition and long-term success.
Market Mapping & Candidate Research
We conduct deep market research to identify top-performing and adjacent talent across relevant industries, competitors, and complementary markets—often uncovering all-star candidates who are not actively looking.
Presentation of Qualified Candidates
Clients are presented with thoroughly vetted candidates, including resumes, detailed interview insights, compensation context, and potential strengths and watch-outs—allowing for informed decision-making.
Reference & Background Verification
Final candidates undergo comprehensive reference checks and background verification to confirm performance history, leadership style, and integrity—well beyond surface-level references.
