During the initial discussion, we gather all details surrounding the potential placement, i.e.... position and explanation of job requirements, expectations, compensation, etc. We also believe that the company's culture is extremely important to understand; ensuring that we secure optimum results for both the client and candidate depends on spotlighting all facets of the company.

After studying the client and their needs, we compile an extensive list of candidates, not all of which will be applicants for search. And, after digging into our substantial contact database and reaching into the marketplace to find exactly what our clients need, the list of candidates is greatly narrowed.

Through meticulous screening and interviewing, we significantly narrow the list of potential candidates to those which we feel will fit the clients' needs. Of those select few, the list will continue to narrow after discussing the candidates' interest, goals, salary/compensation, cultural fit, etc.

Not only do we do our own research, we follow up with an extensive reference checking process for all candidates we expect to present to the client as well. Calling on past employers, colleagues, and subordinates we get an overall feel for the candidates' abilities. After this, we prepare a "candidate summary" for each potential candidate that will be available for the client to review, to reduce having to remove a candidate further into the process.

Our most qualified candidates will be introduced to the client, at which point an interview will be conducted. At the conclusion of the interview process, we gain feedback from both client and candidate to ensure all parties are satisfied, and aid in any clarification issues that may arise. Typically, second interviews are conducted with the top candidates for further analysis.

Of course salary and compensation is at the sole discretion of the client, but we regularly act as a "moderator" for such events. This way, we can gauge the candidates' reaction and obtain feedback without causing a collapse in the process.

We follow-up with both the client and the candidate to ensure that we have done our job well and that all parties involved are pleased with the results.
