Executive Search Methodology
The R.I.C. Executive Search philosophy is simple . . .
Locate superior talent for your critical requirements in the most timely and cost-effective manner possible.
Our methods entail a comprehensive approach, which has proven to greatly increase the odds that the candidate you select will deliver the results you require. An R.I.C. search is not just another recruiting venture. It is a strategic consulting endeavor.
The best predictors of success include a record of high energy, team leadership, and some level of comparable past performance. Combine this with the ability to adapt and produce in a new environment and you’ve discovered a strong candidate.
We attempt to complete an assignment as quickly as possible; however, experience tells us the average duration from start to finish is two to three months. Normally, we are able to begin recommending superior candidates within thirty to forty-five days from the outset of an engagement.
The Search encompasses the following services:
- Client meetings to develop an understanding of organizational values, the corporate environment and leadership style as well as the specific requirements of the search
- Assisting the leadership team in defining superior performance and hiring objectives
- Written documentation of the position requirements
- Thorough research by the R.I.C. consultant and research staff into all potential sources as well as identification of target companies
- Telephone discussion with possible sources and potential candidates
- Verbal and written reports on the progress of the search with feedback from the marketplace
- Thorough evaluation of selected candidates including personal interviews with finalists
- Referral of appropriate candidates in writing for your review
- Detailed reference and background checks prior to final selection
- Active participation in negotiations to ensure that you have the best opportunity to attract your selected candidate
- Follow-up activity with the client and the successful candidate to bring about a smooth transition
Our goal is to present at least three to five candidates for your evaluation. If more are required, we will continue the process.
