Detailed Work Process (Semi Search): A Proven Process

There is an art to successful recruiting, and at ESR we devote serious attention to the subtleties of each assignment. However, there is also a science to successful recruiting, and ESR has developed a structured approach that we believe is crucial to attain consistent, superior results.

PHASE 1: Development of Position Profile

Work with Client to develop initial draft of Position Profile, discuss ideal candidate background, and map out target companies and candidates
Gather specifics about Client in relation to:

	Company culture and operating philosophy
	Corporate and departmental structure
	Profiles of individuals in the organization who have excelled and those who have failed
	Highlights about the Client and reasons why joining the organization would be a good career move

PHASE 2: Development of Target List

Client can expect the completed Target List 1.5 weeks after the Position Profile is completed and approved

Conduct due diligence on target companies including those specified by the Client, direct competitors, and parallel industries where appropriate talent may be found
Given the geographic scope of the search, identify team members within these organizations who work in same or similar capacity. Some candidates may be direct fits while others will serve as potential sources of referrals
Forward Target List to Client for review and approval

PHASE 3: Interviewing and Screening of Candidates

Timeline for project completion: 2-3 weeks from the time ESR gets the “green light” to begin screening candidates. Completed deliverable to be presented by ESR will include:

Candidate ranking
Individual responses to questions (questions developed are tailored to specifics outlined in position description)
Original resumes for all candidates
Call Log: To include all company and candidate names/contact info identified throughout the course of the engagement

PHASE 4: Project Completion
