Search Process
Our systematic approach towards each search blends our comprehensive research and recruiting methodology with the latest recruiting and database technology.
At all stages, our search process adheres to the highest standards of ethics and confidentiality.
Step 1
Client Meeting - Research - SourcingDetailed discussions between The Bartlett Group, Inc. and client to map out position, candidate requirements, company selling strategy and industry analysis. A search timetable is developed with milestones and delivery dates from The Bartlett Group.
The Bartlett Group will prepare and submit a detailed position description and target list of competitors. These documents will serve as the foundation of our search.
Research and sourcing are initiated immediately and are typically completed within seven business days. This is comprised of three separate segments:
Research: Identifying potential candidates from targeted companies.
Online Recruiting: Sourcing and retrieving potential candidates from websites, affiliations, and user groups.
Industry Networking: Drawing upon our wide range of contacts and sources from our database and industry experts.
Step 2
Candidate DevelopmentThrough extensive recruitment calls into our research and sourcing segments, potential candidates are identified.
Our accelerated recruiting methodology during the second and third week of the search lets us canvas a larger segment of possible candidates in a shorter period of time.
The advantage of having a personalized search allows the same individual, who has met with the client, deliver that message first-hand to potential candidates.
A status report is presented at the end of the second week to provide the client with market analysis of the quantity, quality, compensation and availability of the potential candidates.
Step 3
Candidate Presentation - Client InterviewsThe Bartlett Group will continue to source potential candidates to determine their experience, ability and style. Our first slate of candidates are selected from these meetings.
A client meeting to review candidates and the search process is conducted after 30 days from the start of the search.
First round interviews are scheduled with the client.
Recruiting and candidate development continues until search completion.
Step 4
Second Round Interviews - Offer NegotiationsFurther rounds of interviews continue with top candidates.
Our in-depth third party consulting and analysis of the candidate/client relationship includes interview feedback, offer negotiations and candidate closure.
The Bartlett Group and client conduct extensive reference checks on our final candidates.
Upon the successful completion of the search, we continue feedback and status for both the candidate and client to ensure a smooth transition within a new environment.
