Our singular focus is to deliver exceptional leadership at the middle-management level.
As the baseline for all searches, River North begins with original research
– not aged databases of resumes. We identify highly qualified candidates
with backgrounds that match your specific requirements. This original
research process penetrates targeted companies and pinpoints those
employed candidates not actively involved in a job search. It works
for any industry, any company and any discipline. And it allows us
to provide you with candidates who possess exactly the characteristics
you are seeking.
A typical recruiting research project encompasses any or all of the
following steps:
Designating the Account Manager
An Account Manager will be assigned to your project. This individual
has several years of search experience, handling many complex search
assignments for clients all over the country. The Account Manager is
thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the search process and will be
your contact throughout the project, assisted by an experienced group
of Researchers.
Research Strategy
We will develop the research strategy focusing on your objectives
for the assignment and the role your search team will play. A realistic
time frame will be established to complete the research project.
Position
Description
Your Account Manager will work with you to develop a detailed
job description, including salary, benefits, career path and other key
selling points, including a positive profile of your company.
Candidate
Questionnaire
Working closely with you, and based on your specific needs,
your Account Manager will create a detailed candidate questionnaire designed
to gather information generally not included in a resume. This is a tool
to ensure only the most qualified candidates. The questionnaire reveals
past successes, goal-orientation, analytical ability and how candidates
handle specific professional situations.
Profiling Industries / Companies
We will profile appropriate industries and target companies
within those industries. Many of our clients provide us with a list of
companies to investigate. Others rely on us to analyze their industries
and create an appropriate target list. Or we can collaborate and together
build a strategic, prioritized list of target companies for your search.
Name
Generation
Through direct cold calls, we will identify prospective candidates
within the prioritized targeted company list. Names, titles, contact
information, reporting relationships and other particulars are provided.
Recruiting
Selected individuals are contacted by telephone to discuss their
experience, their degree of interest and overall appropriateness for
your opportunity.
Screening, Profiling and Candidate Presentation
Using the position description and candidate questionnaire,
we will provide information on qualified, interested candidates including
personal data, education, experience and compensation, and will indicate
why the candidate is both qualified for and interested in the position.
Qualified candidates will be submitted to you on an ongoing basis throughout
the search process.
Follow Through
When presented candidates have been reviewed and you have selected the
individuals with whom you wish to proceed, you may choose to handle the
remaining hiring process yourself, or involve us as much or little as
you wish, for any of the following: interviewing, reference checking,
and final negotiations. You control every aspect of the search, from
initiation of the project and candidate identification through final
selection.
