With over thirty years of Executive Search experience we know how to source, evaluate, and select the best candidates for our clients – not the next best.
The approach we generally employ for an executive search consists of the following eight phases.
Meeting and having confidential discussions with key client executives to clearly define the role and responsibilities of the position, understand organizational relationships, the client's strategy and objectives, the climate and environment, and define the requisite set of skills and experience the candidate will need to be successful.
After carefully assessing your needs, we typically prepare a written position specification that outlines the responsibilities of the position, qualifications of the ideal candidate and criteria for success. This specification guides our search efforts.
Definition of a customized search strategy, including developing a jointly identified target list of industries and organizations for investigation and research.
Intensively research and source our firm's confidential network and database to identify candidates and source the target list of industry segments, functions and specific companies where successful candidates are likely to be.
We will identify, approach, evaluate, recruit, conduct face to face interviews and perform preliminary reference checks on those individuals who appear to be potential candidates.
Confidential written reports and background profiles are typically submitted on those individuals who most closely fit the position specification.
The consultant schedules a mutually convenient meeting between the client and each candidate. After each interview the consultant contacts both the client and the candidate for feedback.
Thorough referencing of the candidate of choice and assistance in the critical final negotiations of a compensation package and assimilation plan that serves you and the new employee.
Building and maintaining long-term client relationships are the foundation of our vision, strategy and process. Below are some of the principles that guide us in our relationships with our clients.
We will treat as completely confidential all proprietary information concerning your company, its organization, executives, products, services and business plans. We will use none of this information in any way detrimental to you.
We communicate with you frequently so that you understand and feel comfortable with our progress on your behalf and we understand any changes in your priorities. We will communicate with you in person, by telephone, in writing and through strategy review sessions.
To avoid confusion in the marketplace and to maintain the highest level of professionalism in the search process, we ask that you treat this search as an exclusive consulting arrangement with Pollard Search Group.
An assignment enters into our research phase only when we are authorized to proceed. Allowing time for completion of the clients interviewing and selection process, we would expect an assignment to be completed in forty-five to ninety days. In the case of international assignments and those with some degree of exceptional difficulty, the timetable may be longer.
The best relationships are reciprocal and, just as we make our clients aware of any particular facts we discover in the course of the search, we ask them to keep us informed of any developments which may affect the successful outcome.
It is our intent to build a long-term professional relationship with our clients based on mutual trust and integrity. We work for and are compensated by the client organization. Our objective is to identify and attract well-qualified candidates and work with the client to secure the candidate of choice. As a matter of policy and practice, Pollard Search Group does not discriminate against any qualified candidates for any unlawful reason, including race, religion, gender, national origin, age, or disability.
Below is a sample representation of some of our search engagements we have conducted for our clients. Each assignment is unique; lazy solutions compromise quality.
Our clients come first, and their satisfaction is the key measure of our success. Thoroughness, timeliness and quality enable us to build long-term relationships based on integrity, trust and service.
