Building a Successful Search

At The Angus Group, our disciplined approach to recruitment includes the following steps:

Definition:
We first seek to fully understand the position as well as the company. Next, we develop a job description and detailed search criteria which includes not only the technical skills, but the leadership, interpersonal and softer performance skills required.

Strategy/Research:
After agreement on the search criteria, we develop a customized strategy for the search. The search process involves many resources, including our own industry expertise and contacts, affiliations with national search industry groups, professional researchers, our state-of-the-art database of candidates, and a substantial proprietary network developed over many years.

Recruiting/Screening:
We evaluate prospective candidates against the established criteria, and build the interest of those qualified. Our goal in all searches is to present several highly qualified candidates to our clients. We present people who are capable of performing the work, who are sincerely interested in the position, whose goals fall within the salary range, and who fit the client’s corporate culture.

Selection:
Only after the above qualifications are met do we present a résumé and our written summary of each candidate's qualifications. And we continue to work with our clients during the entire selection process as needed, including assisting with interviews and the final selection as needed.

Reference Checks:
We conduct thorough reference checks and verify education degrees.

Closure:
When the right candidate is identified, we act as a liaison between the client and the candidate. We are available to assist in whatever capacity may be required, including assisting with offers, negotiations, and relocation. We strive to pave the way for a comfortable and compatible relationship in which both client and candidate are extremely pleased.
