Our Process
Assess Organization/Position
We collect and review pertinent information to gain an understanding of the market, organization and position. We then conduct interviews with the client’s key constituents to expand our understanding of the organization’s management style and culture as well as the professional and personal attributes of the ideal candidate.

Develop Position Specification/Candidate Profile
Working closely with our client, we create a position specification which describes the organization, position, reporting relationships and responsibilities in addition to the education, experience and attributes sought.

Develop and Initiate Search Strategy
DHR conducts “fresh” and original research for each assignment it undertakes. Our research department develops a list of target organizations in which we will focus our search efforts and obtain the names, titles, and telephone numbers of prospective candidates and sources. Typically, we initiate between 100-200 calls to build a pool of candidates whose backgrounds, experience, and accomplishments match those sought.

Candidate Interviews
Meetings are arranged between the client and the selected candidates. As the search narrows, we conduct reference checks and assist in final negotiations.

Check References/Investigate Background
It is our practice to directly contact superiors, peers, and subordinates of current and past employers of the final candidate(s). The reference checks verify factual data and report achievements, explore strengths and weaknesses, and provide insights into personal and professional style and other attributes.

Follow-Up
DHR maintains contact with the successful candidate and his or her immediate superior to provide support, particularly during the integration period to ensure satisfaction to all parties.
