Data Collection
This initial step in the Search Process is a critical one and the development of a detailed strategy at this point is essential to ensure the success of the search process. We take the time we need to get to know your organization. Our recruitment strategy is built on a solid understanding of your organization's history and its vision for the future as well as your priorities, objectives, challenges and will reflect your unique culture, mission and values. A clear understanding of the position in terms of positioning within your organization, key responsibilities, long- and short-term objectives, challenges and constraints as well as success factors will assist us in creating a solid candidate profile.

Candidate Identification
Once the search committee has endorsed the candidate profile document the process of identifying potential candidates commences. We take an exhaustive approach to candidate identification utilizing a number of search methodologies. Our network of senior executives in public, private and not-for-profit organizations provides us with known and established expertise from which to draw. Networking and organizational collaboration represents the most effective means of identifying candidates who have demonstrated expertise in their field.

Interview and Selection

Utilizing a variety of methodologies which incorporates behavioural interviews, in-basket exercises, assessing potential and validation of qualifications and credentials, the consultant is able to determine whether the candidate possesses the requisite knowledge and skills to be successful in the position. Of equal importance in this process is an assessment of the candidate's values, priorities, leadership style and interpersonal skills to determine whether there is a potential "fit" with your organization.  A short list of no more than 5 qualified candidates is identified through this process and a briefing document on each of the candidates is prepared for presentation to the search committee.

Search Committee selection tools which include a rating and ranking system will be developed which incorporates the critical competencies developed for the position and pertinent organization and position information. The consultant will meet with the selection committee for the purpose of providing an orientation to the tool and to offer coaching to committee members in preparation for the interviews.  Behind the scenes we will manage the all important reference check process on short listed candidates, schedule the interviews and manage the logistics and numerous details of the process

We are able to assume various roles at this stage in the selection process ranging from facilitation or participating on the search committee, observing the process or participating in final selection deliberations.
