The Schultz Group conducts two types of searches for our clients: the contingency search and the retained search.  Every search, whether it's contingency or retained, is as unique as the company, the position and the person. An understanding of your needs at the beginning is critical to the selection of the appropriate search process.

The Contingency Search

A contingency search is appropriate when our client needs to fill an open position immediately.  In this situation, the client knows exactly what they need and what they are ready to offer to the right candidate.  The skills and experience required for the position are clear and the appropriate compensation package has been approved.  A contingency search can typically move forward on an individual candidate-by-candidate basis.

The Retained Search

When we conduct a retained search, we follow a tried-and-true process in order to find the right person for a key position:

Create a position profile

We begin the placement process by working closely with our client to create an accurate description of the position along with a detailed candidate profile.  We become familiar with our client's methods of operation, organizational structure, and culture.  We conduct in-depth discussions with each person who will have input in the hiring process.

Research and qualify the best candidates

We use our broad network of professional and industry contacts to identify prospective candidates.  We research targeted organizations to identify those individuals who may have the qualifications required for the position.  We then conduct interviews with these potential candidates, both by telephone and in person, to ensure that they are both qualified for and interested in the position.  We perform preliminary reference checks on candidates as an additional method of evaluating their qualifications.

Present the candidate

Once we have researched and qualified the candidates, we provide formal assessments and confidential resumes on those candidates most qualified for the position.  We present a slate of candidates from which the client chooses those they will interview. The Schultz Group provides a valuable service in facilitating the offer process. We are aware of the key decision points for the candidates, and we ensure that every issue is addressed and resolved.

Offer

At this point our experience is very valuable to clients and candidates.  Since we have a thorough knowledge of both parties, The Schultz Group provides a valuable service in facilitating the offer process.  We are aware of the key decision points for the candidates, and we ensure that every issue is addressed and resolved.
