Once a search has been contracted to Navigator Resources we work closely with the client to understand the job assignment, the company culture and management style, so that we can effectively represent the client. Our consultants meet with key members of the management team to determine the position requirements, mission, values, personalities, goals, culture, strategic direction and challenges. The search framework is customized to meet the specific needs of each client. A value added benefit inherent in our search process is our uncompromising effort to present each client company in the best possible manner to all potential candidates.
Initial
Phase
The
first step of any search assignment begins with the establishment of specific
requirements for the position(s) being assigned. A job description is formulated to
include the responsibilities and duties that the potential employee will be
expected to perform. A listing of
candidate qualifications is then established for work experience, educational
background and personal attributes needed to excel within the company
culture. When possible an
identification of target companies with similar positions is referenced to begin
the recruitment process.
Recruitment
Using
our knowledge, expertise and experience, the search unit contacts individuals
through the firms comprehensive and confidential database, who possess
attributes similar to the position requirements. Each candidate is initially recruited
and screened by telephone. Personal
interviews are then conducted for those individuals with the appropriate
qualifications. This process
enables us to hone our analysis of each candidate and present only those who
possess the specific requirements for the position.
Communication
Constant
communication with the client is the key to successful completion of any search
project. Clients receive progress
summaries as frequently as requested in addition to informal updates. This enables us to make any
modifications early in the process.
Candidate profiles are conducted for each individual being considered for
the position including specific work history, educational background, personal
attributes, current compensation and an assessment of the candidates
abilities. We remain in contact
with potential hires and act as a liaison to ensure that interviews are
scheduled, travel arrangements are made and the needs and expectations of both
parties are effectively communicated.
Final
Phase
Once
a candidate selection is made, we work with the individual to understand and
communicate his or her needs with regard to issues such as, career objectives,
compensation, relocation, trailing spouse employment, housing and schools. We can assist our client in the
development of the compensation package and act as a conduit to minimize and
resolve any issues that may arise during the offer
process.
