Our Search Process: Detailed Position Specs Your Mission Critical Search Requirements - it all starts with the Position Spec. Our in-depth Position Spec creation process extracts all the opportunity parameters including Mission Critical Executive Leadership, Functional, Industry, and Communications Capabilities & Attributes and Cultural DNA Hiring Criteria nuances that make up our client's vision of the "Ideal Candidate". We then write a detailed 6-8 page Position Spec for your approval ensuring everyone on the team is on the same page. Picking a Star out of a Crowd Ever get the feeling that -everybody- thinks they’re a candidate for the role? "I haven’t seen a retained search firm really capture and target this level and depth of key specifics and then matrix those specifics directly to the candidates they were interviewing in such an effective manner. We were exposed to and bulls-eyed on a good number of qualified candidates quickly as compared to other recent retained searches." Tony Sanders, Vice President, Human Resources, X-Rite, Inc. Most firm's trivialize a Position Specification - a key reason a search can fail. Without a -detailed- spec, not only does the search firm lack a detailed understanding of role scope, responsibility, cultural, personality, and professional competency requirements, the client is at risk of not having the "ideal" candidate defined to the degree they can interview effectively and efficiently. "The spec development process Executive Advantage Group took us through helped Zhone better analyze the position and where it sat within the organization; and it helped us all be on the same page and confirm, that as defined, this was the role we wanted to fill organizationally. They asked all the right questions wanting to understand all the position specifics, our culture, how the person is going to fit and what they are going to do." Laura Larsen, Director, Human Resources & Administration, Zhone Technologies, Inc. We conduct an in-depth detailed "Spec meeting" with each client, and then write a comprehensive position spec. Clients consistently tell us this is of enormous value and helps get everyone "on the same page." "The amount of time they invested in building the position spec allowed them to deliver more qualified candidates.... Their search strategy, and the execution of the strategy, which included the way they constructed a unique and compelling website just for our search, picked up on my demands for this role, how it fit into my company's culture and into the executive team we’ve built." Tony Aquila, President & COO, Mitchell International, Inc. We've provided several examples in the "Example Position Specs" links at the top-right of this page.
