Selection of companies to be targeted in candidate search
Due to our extensive experience within the Interactive Media Space we have the ability to identify target companies that would provide us a source of potential candidates. Our thorough understanding of your competitors allows us to efficiently identify and develop a “short list” of potential candidates.
Communication with your recruiting personnel
For each candidate presented, the client receives a recent resume, as well as a candidate profile that includes qualifications, reason for leaving current employer, career goals and salary requirements. We pre-screen selected candidates to ensure they meet a rigorous set of criteria-including relevant skill set, successful track record, and strong work ethic-before we present them to the client.
An ongoing, regular level of communication continues either via phone or email as to the status of the specific candidate and their advancement through the hiring process.
A weekly report is provided as to the progress of the specific search. This report provides a weekly update of presented candidates and their overall progress in the hiring process.
