The Six-Step Search

  1. 01

    Search Calibration

    We discuss the work before treating a title as a brief. You explain the systems, problems, responsibilities and support available. We agree what experience matters, which requirements are flexible, and what the employer still needs to assess.

  2. 02

    Targeted Market Research

    We research teams doing relevant work, not just people using the same tools. A hospital support desk and an office help desk need different backgrounds. You get feedback when the scope, location or compensation makes the search harder.

  3. 03

    Personal Outreach

    We identify relevant people and contact them with a reason tied to the opening. Follow-up is considered and respectful. Someone can have the right background and still decline; interest is not assumed from a profile or a reply.

  4. 04

    Live Candidate Qualification

    We ask what the person personally delivered, which decisions they owned and what happened when something went wrong. The conversation fits the assignment's level. We discuss motivation, compensation expectations, location, schedule and questions about the opportunity.

  5. 05

    Written Candidate Insight

    The presentation explains relevant experience, the apparent fit and the questions still open. We distinguish the candidate's account from our judgment. Your hiring team retains responsibility for technical assessment and the final decision.

  6. 06

    Interview and Offer Support

    We help keep interviews moving, clarify unanswered questions and discuss feedback with both sides. We stay involved through offer discussions and practical arrangements, including concerns or changed expectations that could prevent a hire.
