Our Methodology - The Science of the Search

Initial Meeting

In a detailed planning session with your key executives and decision makers, we obtain an understanding of your business, goals and corporate culture. We want their opinions and need their support before the search begins, during the process, and after the successful candidate joins your firm. This total buy-in from all team members helps ensure success.

Develop the Position Description

We work with you to identify your company's needs and requirements, determine the responsibilities and objectives of the position, consult with you regarding the desired educational requirements, personal characteristics, attributes, and relevant industry experience of the potential candidate. Finally, we work closely with you to carefully determine and calibrate measurements for performance and success.  Then the search begins.
