We find qualified and vetted candidates for our clients that meet their specific requirements, focusing on full-time Managers up to and including C-Suite candidates. We will:
- Source candidates from our own network of candidates, as well as your competitors or other comparable businesses. We specifically prioritize candidates who are not actively searching for a job, as those are more likely to be the candidates who are happy and doing well.
- Provide the information you need to evaluate the candidate’s qualifications directly on the resume, e.g., prior revenue managed, growth initiatives, acquisitions, new unit openings, etc.
- Support the team with interview scheduling.
- Manage the interview process and keep the process moving to help candidates stay excited and engaged, as well as to reduce the possibility of losing candidates to other companies they may be speaking with.
- Work closely with the candidates to address any concerns or questions they have throughout the process.
- Check 2-3 direct manager references for each candidate who reaches an offer stage.
- Support your team with making offers, helping smooth out any last details and increasing the acceptance rate.
- Offer a 60-day guarantee. If the candidate leaves for any reason within 60 days of their start date, we will replace that candidate for free, once.
The numbers talk. Most of our clients will:
- Interview the majority of the candidates we present. We are very good at hitting the target candidate, especially if we receive detailed feedback on our first few candidates. Several of our clients have done away with the HR screening interview, as they know we have done this work for them.
- Hire 1…
