Our Process

Engage Search Partners is committed to our clients’ continued success. We are not simply a search firm, but a trusted partner. One of our Executive Recruiters will lead the search process from the initial client kickoff meeting, all the way through to the conclusion of the search. Our Executive Recruiter will retain hands-on ownership of the search and will continue to be highly involved, easily reachable, and personally accountable through every step in the search process.

Kickoff Meeting / Needs Analysis

The client kickoff meeting is one of the most important steps in the process.  Our Executive Recruiters will utilize this meeting to gain a comprehensive understanding of your company, the responsibilities of the position, and the key qualifications and personality attributes of the ideal candidate. From this meeting, we create a customized profile and begin developing our search strategy for sourcing candidates from our network of active and passive talent.

Recruiting

Our Executive Recruiters actively seek exceptional candidates through networking and extensive research. After initial screening, qualified candidates are benchmarked against one another to determine which candidates will make the final cut and be presented to the client.  During this process we check in regularly with the client to discuss emerging candidates and ensure a perfect placement.

Client Interviewing

Once a strong slate of candidates has been constructed, we begin facilitating interviews between the client and the candidates.  We schedule the meetings, prepare candidates, and debrief with both hiring managers and candidates after each interview. We gauge first impressions, determine interest, and start to close process with the top-rated candidates.

Closing

Once a finalist is identified, we work with you and the candidate to remove obstacles, assist in the negotiation process, and build consensus among stakeholders. After an offer is extended, we continue to work with you and your new placement to ensure a successful transition.

Post-Closing / Follow Up

Following a search’s conclusion, we remain in close contact with both clients and candidates as they begin their professional relationship together. We are a business built on relationships, and our clients’ and placed candidates’ success is critical to our success. Because of our attention to every detail along the search process and the personal nature of our search process, we foster strong relationships with our clients. 80% of our business stems from client referrals, repeat customers and relationships developed during a successful placement.
