Research & align
Phase 1
We conduct background research on your company and industry to understand what you do and understand the context you operate in.
We study the job description thoroughly to understand exactly what the role entails.
We conduct a kick-off meeting where we go over details about the company, strategy, organization, role responsibilities, role requirements, interview process etc. We insist on being thorough in this, as that must get a complete understanding of the company, organization, culture, role and expectations for performance. We also challenge you on any relevant points to be as precise as possible on finding the right profile as well as advising you on the ideal interview process for the given role.
Afterwards, we create a search strategy, we make any relevant changes to the job description and we find sample profiles that we can use as concrete examples to calibrate and align expectations.
We conduct a followup meeting to get feedback on the search strategy, job description and sample profiles to make sure that we are completely aligned.
