Our Executive Search Process...9 Steps to Success
Given that clear communication is essential to a smooth hiring process, we encourage our clients to review our executive search process below. Mutual orientation to the hiring process will enhance the potential for superior hiring results.
- Needs Assessment - When CSI Executive Search takes on a new search, we begin by getting to know our client. We learn about the company’s culture, its history, and its current business objectives. A site visit is conducted whenever possible.
- Job Description - A critical piece of a successful search project is a comprehensive and detailed job description. CSI conducts structured interviews with decision makers and hiring managers to develop a complete picture of the position. Everything from the necessary skill set and experience base to what the employee’s day-to-day job will include is covered in this process.
- Research - A careful analysis of the company, industry, competitors, and marketplace will serve to guide CSI's search strategy. Our research team will put together a comprehensive plan to guide the sourcing process.
- Identification - Guided by our research efforts, our recruiters will utilize Comprehensive Search Initiatives to identify the most qualified candidates for the position.
- Evaluation - Using behavioral and performance-based assessments, our recruiters qualify candidates based on job skills and necessary experience. Additionally, they utilize structured retention-variable and social intelligence assessments to ensure that top contenders have both the sticking power and people skills necessary to leverage their abilities long-term in client organizations. A final candidate pool, which includes the top 10% of qualified candidates, is the final result of our evaluation process.
- Presentation - Selected candidates from the final candidate pool will be presented for consideration to our client company. A detailed summary and resume of each candidate finalist will be presented to the client company for consideration. Only the most qualified candidates from the final candidate pool will be presented.
- Reference Checking - Careful attention is giving to conducting detailed reference checks with past direct supervisors and direct reports. CSI uses a proprietary structured reference checking protocol to ensure that all candidates are thoroughly vetted and viable.
- Negotiation - We work to ensure that negotiations go smoothly and serve as a helpful intermediary in the sensitive and detailed process of hiring negotiations.
- Follow-up - Post-hire integration and long-term retention are key facets to any successful hire. CSI maintains consistent contact with placed candidates and their employers to ensure a successful transition and integration process.
CSI does not oversell a job to potential candidates. It is not our purpose to make a quick placement. Rather, it is our purpose to find candidates who will be happy in the position and with the organization long-term, thereby contributing to our client’s future business success.
* - To facilitate ease of communication, a single CSI Executive Search consultant manages each search initiated by our firm. Hiring managers will have direct access to this individual throughout the entire search.
