Edwards Executive Search is a national retained executive search firm. We place key executives in fundamental business function positions.
We believe that a successful hiring process is comprehensive i.e. structured, disciplined, rigorous & sophisticated.
Our candidate sourcing process is primarily based on position-specific, targeted networking, not job sites, or databases.
We will present to you a short list of highly qualified candidates as a result of our ability to thoroughly source and evaluate candidates.
We prepare the most thorough, detailed Job Specification in the industry in which we itemize the job experience, technical and educational attributes, personal competencies, cultural considerations and business vales that our client company requires and/or prefers. Our interview process is a phased one in which we will talk to a candidate multiple times so as to really get to know them, their strengths and their weaknesses.
We present the top candidates in our Matrix Assessment® evaluation format which systematically assesses each candidate as compared to each client company established competency/attribute, including a side by side price value comparison of top candidates. This format clearly helps the client company understand how candidates compare to their specific needs.
We believes that the key to executive performance goes beyond technical competency to personal (job) fit and organizational (cultural) fit. Our recruiting protocol specializes in analyzing these “soft skills.” Validated personality assessments, put into an experienced business perspective, are used as part of this process.
As a result, our replacement guarantee is two years.
Please compare the thoroughness of our executive recruiting process to what other providers offer.
