Targeted Retained Search
Begins with our visit to your facility. We will be representing your company within the market place for top notch talent, so we begin by listening and learning about your company and it's strategic plan. We consult with your involved decision-makers about organizational plans and people, and discuss alternatives that maintain as flat a level of staff as possible while allowing for ascension planning and a competitive advantage. Retained search involves: research, sourcing, recruiting, qualifying, referencing, and recommendation of "finalist candidates" for a single, specific, high priority, urgent need or confidential position. References are conducted at superior, subordinate, peer, customer and/or vendor levels and are submitted with each finalist candidate's resume prior to a first interview. An initial retainer (and progress payment for positions over $100K) is credited to the final fee amount of 30% to 33% of the placed candidate's first 12 month earnings. Positions exceeding $100K require the initial retainer and a similar progress payment, with both being credited to the final fee.
Senior Level Executive Search
Involves the same process as the Targeted Retained Search with an even greater emphasis on our in-depth qualification of candidates for personal and managerial compatibility. Typically we conduct personal/face-to-face interactive interviews with all finalist candidates prior to making a recommendation. In-depth reference checking provides an accurate prediction of an Executive's future performance within the client's organization. The retainer and progress fee are credited to the final fee amount of 33% of the hired candidate's first 12 month earnings.
Team Building
Involves a search for up to five (5) positions to be
filled simultaneously. This cost effective approach is recommended
for environments of rapid growth, new or expanding operations,
or multiple position locations such as geographical sales
territories, regional or branch positions, multiple department
or multi-plant staffing. The initial retainer, program fee
reductions, and credits are established on a prorated basis
according to the number of positions required. This is the
most cost effective multiple position Search method.
