The Search Process

Furst Search Group has developed, over many years of success and failures, a proven search process that is based on quality and ongoing communication with our client resulting in a slate of qualified candidates presented within as little as 30 days. The steps in the process are as follows:

Orientation with Client – We invest sufficient time up-front to get a clear snapshot of your needs and issues:

  • Interview involved employees
  • Develop specific selection criteria
  • Define interviewing process

Preparation of the Position Profile and Specifications – This part of the process is critical in the way we communicate the position to candidates and others within our network:

  • Position Profile will define the organization, position, and requirements
  • Profile will also be presented to prospective candidates
  • Specifications summarize both technical and personal characteristics

Research / Recruiting – Our consultants identify, contact, assess and narrow the candidate pool down to a select few candidates:

  • Definition of target markets based upon specifications
  • Identification of appropriate individuals
  • A "wide cast" communication with existing network resulting in thousands of contacts informed of the search opportunity
  • Thorough questionnaires, phone interviews and asessment of prospective candidates
  • Present short list of candidates including reports and any assessments requested by client

Client Evaluation – Furst Search Group takes an active role in managing the internal evaluation process:

  • Evaluation of candidates by company executives
  • Secondary evaluations
  • Final evaluations – candidate and spouse visit (if necessary)

Decision / Relocation – Furst Search Group prides itself on following through to the very end of the process, assuring our clients and candidates are completely comfortable and satisfied:

  • Determination of top candidate
  • Negotiation with selected candidate
  • Construction of job offer
  • Presentation and acceptance of offer
  • Assist as necessary throughout the relocation process
