The J. Robert Scott Process
J. Robert Scott’s core search process is embraced by all in the firm and is a fundamental driving force behind our success. By combining our proven process with industry expertise in Life Sciences, Technology, Higher Education/ Not-for-Profit, and Financial Services, we perform an exhaustive search that is carefully aligned with the specific demands of your business.
We assemble a dedicated team for every search consisting of a Researcher, Candidate Developer, Search Consultant and Practive Administrator whose combined skills and industry expertise match your needs. Through in-depth discussions our team gains deeper insights into your business, which helps to shape searches and deliver superior results. Based on this collected insight, our in-house research team develops a targeted population of potential candidates and sources in a research report.
Next, the assessment and evaluation phase begins. JRS Associates will begin contacting executives as well as new names identified through original research. At the same time, the Search Consultant is networking with industry contacts, interviewing candidates and performing informal reference checking as necessary. You are kept well-informed every step of the way, via detailed status reports, candidate reports and regular updates.
For many clients, selecting a final candidate can be difficult. However, J. Robert Scott helps guide you to a clear decision by staying focused on the initial strategy throughout the process, evaluating not only a professional fit with your company but a cultural match as well. We develop a detailed picture of your optimal hire and use it to carefully weigh the strengths of every candidate. We cover the details, from conducting reference checks to verifying academic credentials. We facilitate discussions between you and the final candidates, and offer advice on competitive compensation and creative incentives that can help bring the candidate and client together for a truly “Great Find.”
