Our Process
Harmer’s tried and true process forges a common resolve and purpose between your firm and ours. Employing best practices and having a tested process allows us to focus on what is most important: you.
Discovery and Collaboration
We spend time probing into the dynamics of your organization; specific details of the technologies, executive relationships and cultural climate. We gain a clear perspective on the essential elements required for success.
Internal resources are surveyed and our staff meets to discuss requirements and potential candidates. We rely on teamwork and our spirit of camaraderie, which is inspired through this collaborative process.
Sourcing and Screening
Simultaneously, candidate sourcing is initiated. New sources are identified and direct solicitations extended. Networking is conducted among viable sources and industry leads are contacted.
Candidates are identified. Detailed information, prior-feedback and personal impressions are revealed and discussed. Impressions are shared and backgrounds evaluated. Motivations are identified; strengths and weaknesses are assessed as we draw conclusions. This is a process of sharing and learning. As clients respond to our impressions, our level of understanding is enhanced.
Preparation, Feedback and Closing
Interviews are scheduled. We share detailed job descriptions, organization charts and impressions of the client’s culture and environment. Salary requirements and motivations are readdressed.
We take direction from clients and help to position them for success. References are checked; salary and benefits are negotiated. We gain valuable insight from our candidates regarding competitive offers, potential counter-offers and their impression of market conditions. We educate them and dispel hearsay regarding market conditions. We play a critical role in managing expectations and successfully closing candidates.
