HTR’s added value services in a typical executive search process:
Analyzing the needs of the company and defining the objectives and specifications of the job description
Working in partnership with the client company, HTR ensures its understanding of the client’s business and culture. We analyze the company’s needs to determine the required set of skills, understand organizational relationships and define the required experience. Partnering with our client, we identify the characteristics necessary for the successful candidate. Following obtaining the client’s consensus on the position’s scope and responsibilities, the compensation package, the reporting relationships and the profile of the executive, we draft the job description. This specification guides the search process. Together with our client company, we prepare an information package and a profile of the client company to present to potential candidates.
Targeting, identifying and contacting qualified candidates
Following the formulation of the job description and search criteria, the research team targets and pinpoints the relevant sources and prospective candidates by leveraging active search/sourcing, our network in the industry and propriety databases. Before contacting prospective candidates, HTR confirms with the client company that there is no potential conflict of interest in approaching candidates from a certain company (such as candidates from a direct client of the client company). The prospective candidates are contacted by the Project Manager, managing the client company’s account. HTR screens and evaluates the initial pool of prospective candidates and only presents the client with the “best and final” candidates accompanied with background profiles for each of them. The Project Manager reviews and discusses the profiles and resumes of these candidates before moving to the next phase. When necessary and upon the client’s feedback to the referred candidates, the Project Manager conducts fine tuning of the search criteria and targets, and then contacts and refers additional candidates.
Facilitation of client – candidate interviewing and reference checking
HTR facilitates the communication and interaction between the candidates and the company. We schedule mutually convenient meetings between the client companies and the candidates. Following each client-candidate interaction, HTR’s Project Manager contacts both the candidate and the client company for feedback. Following the client’s selection of the final candidate/s, HTR may conduct reference checking and provides the client with additional information gathered regarding areas of relative strengths and weaknesses of the prospective candidates.
Assisting in structuring and negotiating the compensation package, and integrating the candidate in the company
HTR has accumulated years of experience and a body of knowledge in the process of negotiating compensation packages that meet the objectives of both the client-company and the candidate. Upon the client’s request, HTR may assist in the process and serve as a mediator between the candidate and company and advise the parties in tailoring a mutually beneficial package of salary and bonuses as well as stock option/restricted stock plans when applicable . Upon the commencement of employment by the candidate, HTR may assist in the integration of the new manager and makes itself available for follow-up and feedback.
