Services
Contingency
Similar to the software licensing SaaS model, the contingency model or Recruiting as a Service (RaaS) allows you the flexibility and freedom to pay for services as they are delivered, which is the placement of a candidate. This low risk approach enables you to continue to use other sources both internal and external for your job search with no obligation until a candidate is placed and starts their employment.
Retained
Typically reserved for executive and senior level jobs or hard to come by skills sets that require even further detail, research and vetting of candidates who impact the company’s growth performance, a retainer fee is secured and paid over the course of the project.
Exclusive
When clients desire to work with a single recruiter, have a high priority opening or a need for discrete confidentiality, our Exclusive Search service gives our firm exclusivity for a pre-defined period of time without locking you into a longer-term commitment.
Career Coaching
We work with both client and candidate to help the maximize their desired outcomes. With our clients, we advise them on industry trends, market rates and best practices for attracting the top tier talent. With our candidates we coach them on how to attain their career objectives and help them along the path.
Discovery & Profile Development
We create a thorough profile for each job opening tailored uniquely to the individual hiring manager. Our profiles not only look at experience, but take into consideration skill sets, key traits, personalities and cultural fit. We also provide assistance in creating the job specs or job descriptions for our clients. The profile includes details on the company, solutions, competitive landscape, market growth and key value propositions. We seek to find the perfect match, which has 2 sides to the equation:
Perfect Match = candidate meets the client’s requirements + client meets the candidate’s requirements
The detailed profile is used as a template to identify prospective candidates and to communicate rich detail about the client to attract the top tier talent in today’s competitive market.
Search & Screen
Leveraging our vast network and industry leading tools, we begin our research and outreach aligned to the job profile. Having used recruiters in our past, been recruited many times ourselves, we now are the recruiters who strive to provide a unique experience for both sides of the equation – client and candidate.
Once candidates are identified and contacted, we conduct detailed interviews with each candidate based on the unique profile for each job. During these interviews and data gathering sessions we document how the candidate conforms to the specific requirements and clearly communicate the job requirements and expectations for the role.
Submission & Tracking
All candidates are submitted to the client via their preferred method with a detailed candidate profile summary and resume/CV. We assist with scheduling and logistics for interviews and provide a prompt two-way feedback loop. We track the candidate thru the process and keep them posted to ensure an exceptional experience. We become the broker by providing insight and feedback to both parties throughout the process. Regular pipeline status reports are provided to provide visibility and keep the hiring leader informed on the project status.
Placement & Transition
We assist in unsolicited/back channel references and conduct standard reference checks with a detailed report. As your broker, we help negotiate offers, assist the candidates in their transition from their current job and prep to become a productive member of your staff. We conduct periodic check-ins and follow up calls to make sure everything is running smoothly and meeting/exceeding expectations.
