Diversity Retained Search

Diversity Search, provided on a retained basis reserved for those organizations committed to diversifying their senior management positions which requires individuals who possess both vision and strategic direction for the client organization, 

The Search Process:

• Needs Assessment - We analyze the company's needs to determine the scope of the position, understand culture and mission of the organization, and determine the required set of skills.

• Position Specification - After carefully assessing the client's needs, we prepare a written position specification that outlines the responsibilities of the position and qualifications required of the ideal candidate.

• Research - We use our superior Xavier Research team to conduct research specific to the client's position and industry to find an exceptional pool of talent.

• Candidate Evaluation - We interview all candidates and evaluate each on the basis of accomplishments, motivation, leadership abilities, and cultural fit with the client organization.

• Client Interviews - We schedule a mutually convenient meeting between the client and each candidate.  After each interview, the consultant contacts both the client and the candidates for feedback.

• Reference Checking - Once the client selects the final candidate, the consultant contacts individuals who can provide insight about the candidate's qualifications, accomplishments, interpersonal skills and integrity.  The comments made by the candidate's references are then reviewed with the client.

• Completion of Search - As the search comes to a close, we can assist in structuring of the compensation package if the client wishes.  After the candidate has accepted the opportunity, we will ensure a smooth transition and assimilation for both the client and candidate.

Our Diversity Search is conducted on a pay-for-performance basis.  Firs third at onset, second third upon presenting a slate of candidates, final billed upon placement.
