Executive Search Methodology
Salzer Consulting’s Executive Search Methodology works to guaranteed timelines and has built-in quality control mechanisms. Constant communication is maintained while our global reach bypasses national boundaries to find the best people.
Proven search processes guarantee a suitable candidate.
- Sources Search: Key industry executives and consultants are approached confidentially to recommend top achievers. These trusted advisers possess in-depth knowledge of the skilled performers in their industry.
- Target Company Search: Key personnel with relevant experience are discreetly contacted in comparable multinational/national companies.
- Database Search: Salzer Consulting’s 10,000-person database is subject to rigorous, on-going maintenance to ensure it is totally accurate and current. The search process can be global or in adjacent countries, but is not limited to the target country.
- Advertising: As a supplement, advertising helps find candidates invisible to normal search processes and also can help to deflate salary expectations.
The search continues until the position is filled.
Salzer Consulting continues to search for new candidates until the preferred candidate signs the offer letter. This ensures that last-minute candidates aren’t overlooked, and if negotiations break down, re-starting the process is not delayed.
Salzer Consulting is committed to close cooperation and constant communication with our clients.
- Salzer Consulting’s philosophy is to develop an understanding of the client’s strategic plans, corporate cultural issues and current challenges to ensure the best-qualified candidates are brought forward.
- As suitable candidates are interviewed, their views of the client and all other non-confidential information is passed back on a “no names” basis
- All short listed candidates are debriefed. They are questioned about their understanding of the position, their ability to perform the task and their compatibility with the client’s corporate culture.
- Close communication is maintained with the candidate throughout the resignation process until they start their new role.
Predictable timelines
Salzer Consulting gives each client a clearly defined timeline
regarding the length and process of the search. Each phase is clearly presented allowing the client to plan for the introduction of the new employee.
The successful candidate’s references are checked just prior to an employment offer. The client receives Reference Reports and full contact details of all referees to enable further checking.
Assistance is available in presenting the employment package to the preferred candidate, and working through the final negotiations.
