The Research Process & Candidate Development

To develop candidates, in addition to using our file of people known to us from previous assignments and our broad referral network, we extensively research your industry, and contact the best people in it. Working closely with you, we develop a list of 100 or more target institutions who would be the most likely employers for the people who would be best qualified for your position. We then identify these people and contact them directly. All these contacts are handled by the principals, rather than research associates.

Research

In this assignment, we researched either rehabilitation healthcare institutions or institutions with a large rehabilitation component. We contacted 194 prospects, prescreened 32 in telephone interviews, and interviewed 9 candidates before presenting four finalists to the client for interviews. Below is a sampling of the research that was developed during this assignment:
