The Search Process
Our search approach effectively means that we assume responsibility for finding the producers in your area that will add production and value to your bottom line. We commit a level of resources to the assignment that has historically enabled us to deliver successful results on a timely basis.
"Networking with integrity creates a greater willingness of all parties to be part of a human conduit to serve as energy and resource to one another. Sometimes you will give more than you receive and sometimes you will get back more than you give. It's not about keeping score."

1. Needs Assessment and Definition
The process begins with pulling together information from a broad variety of sources to understand your company's position within the marketplace and determining how that may be leveraged. Needs and requirements are identified to create an effective search strategy.
2. Candidate Identification and Contact
This phase commences with a search of competitive companies and networking with established contacts. We begin the process of identifying and contacting qualified candidates wherever they may be situated.
3. Interviewing and Evaluation
Potential candidates are contacted, interviewed and qualified. Preliminary reference checking is done as needed to address any concerns and to confirm interview impressions. Qualified candidates are presented for interviewing.
4. Selection and Negotiations
The selection process involves addressing concerns of both parties, validating assumptions, identifying potential issues and assisting the offer negotiation process.
5. Resignation and Transition
From acceptance of offer the process is further monitored through resignation, managing counter-offer issues where applicable and assisting in transition planning.
