Recruiting Process

We see candidates and employers eye to eye.

Qualifications and experience aren't enough on their own — we screen for the soft-skill fit and industry knowledge that determine whether someone lasts past the first job. Here's exactly how a search runs, start to finish.

Seven Stages

How a search runs, start to finish

01
Stage 1 of 7

Research & discovery

We learn about your company, your culture, and the kind of working relationship you're looking for — before a single candidate enters the picture.

02
Stage 2 of 7

Development of recruitment plan

We put our network and connections to work identifying candidates who genuinely fit the role you need filled.

03
Stage 3 of 7

Targeted recruiting

We look past the resume — evaluating leadership ability, career goals, and motivations to find people who'll actually stay.

04
Stage 4 of 7

Candidate evaluation

You get a curated shortlist of top prospects, with a clear explanation of why each one made the cut.

05
Stage 5 of 7

Process management

We stay in close contact with candidates throughout — tracking their interests and goals so nobody goes quiet mid-process.

06
Stage 6 of 7

Presentation of the offer

Offer planning starts on day one, not day sixty — so when it's time to present, it lands right.

07
Stage 7 of 7

Acceptance of the offer

We stay connected after the offer's accepted to make sure the transition is smooth and the fit is right — for both sides.

Every placement carries a 60-120 day guarantee — if it doesn't work out, replacing that hire becomes our top priority at no additional cost.
