The Search Process

Sourcing

The best candidates are, most often, working for your competitors. Presently employed, they are not posting their resumes on internet job sites or reviewing classified ads. Our searches involve an extensive review of our database and referral network as well as direct targeted recruitment.

Screening

Screening is a major component of how we save our clients time, effort and expense. Tempered by years of experience, our screening process involves personal interviewing, reference checks and our own assessment of the candidate's true potential - and overall ability to fit into - our clients' organizations. We will share the results of our work with you, providing you with a better understanding of the marketplace.

Selection

Every Hospitality company has a unique corporate culture that must be appreciated before any new member joins the team. There are gradations of style and operational outlook that we must consider in any placement. We not only search for specific skills and experience but for "fit" as well.

Ultimately the client selects the finalist candidate but our recommendation, based upon our extensive experience and our understanding of the client's culture, the labour market and the candidate's fit into that culture often proves to be an integral ingredient in the selection process.

Negotiation

When the finalist is chosen, there is one more critical step: Negotiating the Offer of Employment. We can assist you in determining the best overall compensation and benefit package - both comparable to industry standards and attractive to the candidate. It is also our task to demonstrate the offer's value to the candidate, ultimately guiding him or her through the acceptance process.

Confidentiality

A trustworthy relationship between recruiter and client is the necessary beginning to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Our engagements may involve expansions and new directions of which the industry is not yet aware. Or we may be asked to search for a position with a current occupant where there is a need for a change. When candidates approach us, we also pledge our highest degree of confidentiality.
