When CTR accepts an assignment, it doesn't just "empty its files" (send
numerous candidates or resumes to a client, hoping one will be a match).
Rather, we begin a comprehensive process, which consists of researching,
file searching, networking, recruiting, prescreening, preliminary interviewing,
in-depth interviewing, reference checking, negotiating, and closing the
placement. Using client competitor information, our industry sources
and confidential referrals, we conduct thorough research to uncover potential
candidates.
Candidate Contact: Once potential candidates are identified,
we make contact with them on a direct, personal basis. This phase – possibly
the most critical time of the search – is twofold:
- We become your spokesperson, representing you in the professional
manner in which you would represent yourself. We present your objectives,
as well as the opportunities, responsibilities, and potential of your
positions. Our goal in this contact is to create enthusiasm for the
opportunity that you are seeking to fill.
- We concurrently examine the qualifications of the candidates against the comprehensive profiles developed during the planning stage. Only when a strong mutual interest between you and the candidate is determined does the process continue.
Presentation of Candidates Once Evaluated: Only the outstanding
candidates are presented for your consideration. We also assist you in
scheduling and monitoring the interview process with your management
team.
The Decision and the Offer: While you alone make the decision
on the best candidate for your organization, we can assist you during
this critical phase. Reference checks provide you with invaluable information
to help you make the right choice. We offer counsel and facilitate communications
on salary terms, relocation, and benefits.
We also assist the candidate through the emotional process of resigning
the present position, including dealing with counteroffers.
Ongoing Relationship: Our goal is to provide you with people
who will contribute to your corporate goals and make a real impact on
your organization. We maintain contact with you and with the candidate
to ensure that this goal is accomplished
