Identifying great talent is only

10%

half the battle

While each search is unique, retained searches are typically 12-14 weeks, and contingent searches are 2-4 weeks.

Most roles are hired within five submittals or less because of our holistic approach - we take the time to learn about our clients’ history, growth, and vision. We dive deep with each hiring manager to understand the function and culture of their teams, the impact their new hires will make, and then build a profile of their ideal candidate. We source, calibrate, and hone our search so that each candidate submittal is aligned and the team only needs to meet with the select few candidates we’ve shared. Learn more about how we work here.

Our process typically follows the below steps, depending on the type of search:

1. Client Discovery & Documentation: Through an in-depth discovery call, we gather information to build a Company Profile (all about your team, business goals, and culture) and Role Insights (deep dive into the role impact and growth opportunity, supplementary to a job description) which we share with candidates as a sell-sheet and interview prep.
2. Client Calibration & Alignment: After initial market research, network outreach, and sourcing rounds, we meet to talk through the aspects of varied profiles in order to gain clarity and hone the search. This stage often highlights skill sets and career histories that clients had not considered and brings the clear definition needed to pinpoint the perfect profile.
3. Strategic Sourcing: Based on what we’ve learned, we create a customized approach for sourcing, screening, matching, and closing candidates. If we’ve done our job correctly, we share no more than three to five profiles that are not only tightly matched to your needs but fully briefed on your company, the role, and your vision.
4. Interviewing & Iteration: Feedback is everything – we handle scheduling and sending invites, debriefing calls with both clients and candidates and use your feedback to tweak the search as needed.
5. Closing & Offers: We manage all communication and negotiation for our clients. Because of the relationships we’ve built, we’re able to help clients and candidates find the package that ensures candidates feel valued and clients are getting the best talent without overpaying. We work with clients to deliver a “best and final” offer to candidates that align with their needs, resulting in a ridiculously high acceptance ratio and a great candidate experience.

We don’t offer individual coaching at this time, but we have created a resource hub with videos that include our top suggestions on everything from optimizing your LinkedIn profile to interviewing best practices and resigning gracefully. Check that out here. We highly recommend Career Sprout for a robust career coaching service.

While some firms believe that the ability to recruit rests on having a network in a specific industry or function, we believe that great recruiters are more than just a network. Learn more about the markets and industries we serve here.

Bottom line: we are not limited by industry or function; our breadth of knowledge drives impactful results.
