Edwards Executive Search Job Placement and Career Planning Solutions

We screen for compatibility between clients and your specific corporate culture.

First, we ask our client companies to define their corporate culture by evaluating the relative importance of ten business drivers and/or core values that determine their corporate culture. We provide a format to our client companies for this evaluation. We then compare candidates to the standard for each descriptor established by the client company.

These descriptors include the Degree of/Importance of Innovation vs. Efficiency, the Degree of/Importance of Teamwork and Collaboration, the Degree of Concern for/Importance of Employee Morale, the Relative Importance (Intensity) of Financial Performance, the Degree of Formality of the Environment, Degree of Competitiveness (Internal), the Type of Recognition/Appreciation in the Environment, the Type of Decision Making/Problem Solving, the Degree of/Importance of Predictability and the Organizational Values.

Candidates complete the Hogan® Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) which evaluates individual fit within a corporate culture by assessing them on these descriptive factors.

We then use our Matrix Assessment™ evaluation format to compare each candidate to each corporate culture descriptor, and to compare candidates to each other.

Please contact us for more information on our Cultural Considerations™ evaluation process.
