Search and Evaluation Process: Executive Search

Experience
After almost two decades of performing successful searches, CPI KC Search Division can say with confidence that we know how to plan search strategy and methodically execute those plans.

Milestones
With a commitment to completing our search work in under 100 days, we have established critical milestones at 30 days, 45 days and 50 days that enable us to gauge the effectiveness of our strategy, modify directions as required, and have our clients interviewing in a timely manner. (view process table below)

Direct Research
Direct research into a list of jointly developed markets and companies is the lynchpin in our process. We consider this the most critical element/phase of our search process and these efforts result in the identification of roughly 70% of our final candidates.

Assessment/Referencing/Negotiations
Candidates can be assessed through CPI KC Search Division’s use of the Organization Analysis and Design Survey (OAD™). The OAD™ looks at seven primary Personality Traits against Perceived Job Behaviors completed by key stakeholders. As you settle in on the preferred candidate, we conduct extensive references to further solidify our thinking and measure and validate competencies, strengths and development areas, and to provide you with external views on the candidate. We will participate in various levels of negotiations as we move to closure.

On-Boarding/Integration
At the end of our assignment and when requested, we can use assessment results with both the client and candidate to help with On-Boarding as required.

The following outlines our process flow and Service Level Agreement.

Important: While the timetable above is a calculated estimate based on experience and existing expectations, CPI-KC commits to support and guide the Client for as long as it takes to identify, pursue and secure the right candidate.
