OUR SEARCH PROCESS
IMC have pioneered a customized search process that our clients have found to be extremely effective because we design a specific, targeted recruiting program for each project.
PLANNING AND RESEARCH
IMC begin by defining the scope of the assignments and creating profiles of the positions to be filled. Working closely with your people, we approach the assignment in partnership with you. Using client competitor information, our industry sources and confidential referrals, we conduct thorough research to uncover potential candidates. In addition, we draw upon the internal strength of International Management Consultants network and its sophisticated electronic capabilities.
CANDIDATE CONTACT
Once potential candidates are identified, we make contact with them on a direct, personal basis. This phase – possible the most critical time of the search is two fold:
• IMC becomes your spokesperson, representing you in the professional manner in which you would represent yourself. IMC present your objectives, as well as the opportunities, responsibilities and potential of your positions.
• IMC examine the qualifications of the candidates against the comprehensive profiles developed during the planning stage. Only when a strong mutual interest between you and the candidate is determined does the process continue.
PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATES
Once evaluated, only the outstanding candidates are presented for your consideration. We also assist client in scheduling and monitoring the interview process with your management team.
THE DECISION AND THE OFFER
While you alone make the decision on the best candidate for your organization, we assist you during this critical phase. Reference checks provide you with invaluable information to help you make the right choice. We offer counsel and facilitate communications on salary terms, relocation and benefits.
We also assist the candidate through the emotional process of resigning from their present position, including dealing with counter offers.
ONGOING RELATIONSHIP
Our goal is to provide people who will contribute to your corporate goals and make a real impact on your organization. We maintain contact with you and the candidate to ensure that this goal is accomplished.
