PHASE I
Defining Your Search Needs & the Launch
We will speak individually with key stakeholders to seek their thoughts and perspectives regarding the relationships, skills, responsibilities, challenges, and experience needed for the role. Based on these conversations we create a position profile which is designed to reflect the organization’s culture and will attract the interest of the highest quality candidates
PHASE II
Networking Candidate Identification & Development
Once we publicly launch the search, we begin our outreach to targeted sources to identify potential candidates for the opportunity. During this phase of the search, potential candidates enter FPS’s candidate development pipeline, which includes resume review, in-depth phone interviews, and face-to-face meetings. Throughout this phase, we will provide regular update reports on the search. These update conversations and communications also allow us a regular forum to respond to questions and discuss any emerging trends throughout the search process.
PHASE III
Candidate Presentation. Interviews & Selection
At the beginning of Phase Three, FPS will have a pool of highly capable and thoroughly vetted candidates for consideration. We will provide a comprehensive and transparent review of the recruitment and top candidates. If desired, we will help orchestrate the interview process, assist in shaping the offer, and negotiate the successful hire.
