The Adventis Process How it works
We have developed three business options to make the search process complement your corporate strategies and objectives.
On a contingency basis, there are no fees up front. You pay only for results, once the search is complete.
When your needs are immediate, the engagement fee makes the most sense. This fee initiates an urgent high priority search - and will be applied to the final search fee.
Our services are also available on retainer. We recommend this option for high level searches that may entail detail profiling, travel and enhanced personal attention.
Conducting an extensive search on your own is an all-consuming task that distracts your organization from what it does best. A successful search project requires specific knowledge and resources as well as huge quantities of time. At Adventis we have concentrated our years of successful project management and searchexperience into an exclusive 24 Step Search and Selection Process and 5 part action plan.
This logical, structured approach is utilized each time we execute a search project. It allows us to tailor the process to address your specific needs and lets us focus all of our energies on building the best candidate selection pool for your particular position.
The Adventis Process
Conducting an extensive search on your own is an all-consuming task that distracts your organization from what it does best. A successful search project requires specific knowledge and resources as well as huge quantities of time. At Adventis International we have concentrated our years of successful search experience into an exclusive 24 Step Search and Selection Process and 5 part action plan.
This logical, structured approach is utilized each time we execute a search project. It allows us to customize the process to address your specific needs and lets us focus all of our energies on developing the best candidates for your particular position.
Here is how Adventis' 24 Step Search and Selection Process can work for your company:
Listening
This is the most important part of the search process. If we don't understand exactly what qualities you seek in a candidate, the search will not produce the desired results. This is why Adventis concentrates on listening first.
1. Conduct a thorough needs analysis to obtain all the information required to complete a professional search. This includes strategizing on how to attract candidates from your competitors.
2. Build a profile of the ideal candidate against which we screen potential candidates. On request, we can interview your top-performing employees as part of the screening process. Prepare a written document detailing the ideal profile and a strategy for presenting the opportunity to candidates. Obtain your approval.
3. Consult with you on industry compensation standards and construct a compensation model.
4. Assemble a project team and launch marketplace research. Examine direct and indirect competitors as well as identify alternate companies that employ candidates possessing the skills and experience you seek.
5. Submit the list of targeted companies and candidates for your review and approval.
Searching
Here is where Adventis' years of experience provide ultimate value. We have the resources and unique ability to identify and engage the top talent in your marketplace.
6. Conduct comprehensive telephone interviews with candidates using behavioral based questions to ascertain three crucial qualifying factors:
- Do they have the appropriate background?
- Are they willing to change jobs for the right opportunity?
- Do their goals in making a career move align with yours?
7. We can conduct face-to-face interviews with potential candidates or interview them via video conferencing.
8. Present a short list of highly qualified candidates who have successfully passed the screening process.
9. Submit the resumes and summaries from qualifying interviews with selected candidates.
Comprehensive Interviewing
In this step you determine if we have a match. By this point Adventis has significantly increased the potential for success by understanding your needs, screening candidates against that criteria and presenting those candidates who best match your requirements.
10. Arrange and coordinate the initial interview between you and the candidate. This interview may be by telephone, face-to-face or videoconferencing at your direction.
11. Prepare the candidate for the initial interview including briefing them on the agenda, your priorities and expectations.
12. Prepare you for the initial interview drawing attention to the candidate's particular goals and aspirations.
13. Debrief with the candidate following the interview and capture their initial thoughts and concerns.
14. Debrief with you and discuss preliminary conclusions. Professionally release any candidates not selected to continue in the process.
15. Arrange and coordinate second interviews and discuss particular areas of concern.
16. Debrief with both you and the candidates following the second interviews. Professionally release any candidates not selected to continue in the process.
17. Conduct professional reference checks and provide written summaries of those interviews or provide you with the names and phone numbers so you can confirm the reference.
Negotiations
Experience makes all the difference. Our years of experience managing negotiations will add tremendous value and help you avoid costly pitfalls. Our goal is to create a win-win outcome for both you and your candidate of choice.
18. Verify earnings and negotiate a win-win compensation package.
19. If desired, provide educational verification, credit history, security checks and other appropriate background checks.
20. Communicate verbal offer of employment to the candidate of choice to help ensure acceptance.
21. Consult with the candidate and resolve resignation and counteroffer issues.
22. Confirm the start date and obtain written confirmation from the candidate.
Follow Through
The period between acceptance of an offer and the start date is a critical time for a new employee and it's important they remain connected to the new company during their transition phase. This is also when Adventis conducts our post search protocol to evaluate the completed search and results.
23. Remain in contact with you and the candidate through the start date and initial days of employment. Experience has shown that this is a vulnerable time for candidates in transition and we work to keep them connected and comfortable with their decision.
24. Conduct a conclusion interview with you to ensure the project was completed to your satisfaction.
Search and Selection Process + Client Partnership = Success
This equation has proven itself successful time and time again. At Adventis, a successful search is a strategic partnership between a motivated and involved client, and experienced search consultants. We begin by listening, apply the knowledge we have gained to launch the research process, identify potential candidates, manage the interview process and ensure the final negotiations culminate in a successful hire. By doing what we do best, Adventis allows you to concentrate on your business - which is what you do best - while we recruit your personnel for the future.
