| Our Search 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
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.
Presentation of 20-Day Market Analysis Report
At 20 working days, a meeting is held in order to present our search
status/market analysis report. This unique and confidential report contains a
brief, yet detailed, written summary of each individual we have contacted
during the course of the search to date, as well as a detailed profile on each
of our most qualified candidates. This report has proven to be an extremely
valuable management tool and serves as an analysis for the following:
-
The industry and marketplace overall as well as how the client’s organization
is perceived.
-
The competitive landscape providing valuable information and perspectives.
-
A compensation study comparing expectations in the marketplace.
Candidate Interviews
After reviewing the material we have submitted, 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.
