The process
When it comes to Direct Search assignments, Newboard Recruitment Services' approach is divided in three clear stages:
- Strategy development
Each assignment starts with clarifying the parameters of the position, the business culture and any other circumstances that may affect the search are discussed. A proposal is then submitted where the search strategy, a background of the company, the position specifications, responsibilities, goals and key competencies are profiled. These are the basics for assessing potential candidates throughout the search process.
- Search and identification
Newboard then actively accesses the market to find qualified and interested individuals. Before presenting any candidate to the client, extensive in-person competency based interview are conducted where each candidate is assessed and validated against the position specifications. A confidential candidate assessment report will then be presented to the client for review.
- Selection
In the final phases of the process, the client is consulted to review the candidates and to support the selection process. Unsuccessful candidates are promptly and courteously informed. After a position is filled, a client satisfaction survey is conducted to further improve the quality of service.
