transparentP5.gif Executive Recruitment...


We have become successful by maintaining long term relationships. This relationship begins when we develop a fundamental understanding of your needs, your work environment and the unique challenges that will face the person you ultimately hire. Our success is reflected in the loyalty of our clients who turn to us each time they need to fill a key position. We have an extensive reference list to back that claim.   


We have a significant advantage over other search firms in that we conduct a very detailed screening and reference verification before you are ever introduced to a potential candidate. Recent reports show that 90 - 95% of all resumes contain either false or exaggerated information. Our candidate interviewing skills and reference questioning processes are invaluable in weeding out those applicants that are not suited for your position, saving valuable time and money.

Another advantage we have is our existing candidate pool. We are networking constantly and in the process become familiar with many quality prospective candidates. These are candidates who are currently working within their professions and not subscribed to any job posting boards. These are individuals who are not readily known by search firms but who are prepared to assume new challenges and leadership positions. Our value is evident through all stages in the hiring process, beginning with understanding your needs.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS

Our process begins with having a thorough understanding of your organization and the open position. Our own experience within Agriculture and Civil Engineering assure us locating the best possible person for the job and for your organization. 

THE SEARCH

We have built our reputation for success on a sound strategy for identifying, developing and presenting strong candidates for client review. Our strong candidate pool has been developed through years of serving both public and private sector organizations and developing new candidates through our extensive network of institutional contacts. Our marketing approach is directed, appealing and confidential. 

EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT

Each candidate is first interviewed extensively - clarifying resume statements, ensuring skill and experience level, identifying the level of interest for the position, assessing their management/interpersonal communication style and personality. This process is designed to bring about direct and revealing answers from the candidates which is then measured against reference information obtained for consistency. 

CANDIDATE INTRODUCTION AND INTERVIEWS

Clients are provided with the candidate's resume, support documents or project lists, reference summaries, and a list of suggested areas you may wish to cover in the interview based on strengths or weaknesses noted. We then schedule client interviews, assisting with interview preparation, if requested. After the interview, we immediately follow up with the candidates, bridge feedback and assess any issues that may affect hiring and then notify candidates who are not selected.

NEGOTIATION AND CLOSURE

Once a final selection has been made, we serve as an intermediary to bring about agreement and facilitate closure.  This may involve a variety of negotiations ranging from salary and benefits to relocation and even assisting the candidate with resignation arrangements and a relocation referral service. Through our own interview processes, we have support services in your area ready to offer relocation candidates information regarding housing, schools and area economic statistics. This can prove to be a valuable benefit in negotiating delicate matters without building tension between the two parties. 

FOLLOW UP AND GUARANTEE

Because the success of the placement is of paramount importance, P5 Consulting Services follow ups with both the client and candidate at regular intervals to ensure satisfaction. Candidate guarantees are extended and summarized in our standard contract. 

These valuable services are all included as part of the standard fee for service. If requested, P5 Consulting Services can facilitate background checks through a specialized agency. Billing for this service is directed to your company from the investigating agency and not routed through P5 Consulting Services.  





RPO and Staff Development...




The client companies we serve vary in their scope of needs. For this reason, we have developed customized programs to fill those unmet needs. 

RPO: RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING

This service is offered to select companies with whom we have a long standing relationship. In partnership, we identify and develop a recruitment system that serves to strengthen your staffing resources and ultimately maintain that pipeline you've worked so hard to grow.  This arrangement is ideal for companies that experience inconsistent hiring spikes. It's cost effective for a number of reasons, but most importantly, because when those spikes occur, the company does not face a budget spike due to a placement fee for multiple candidates. This method is also cost effective for larger companies that have full-time HR staff, but are at that cusp where one more source to nurture the pipeline and handle requisitions, screening, interviews, selection, offer management and on-boarding would ensure timely placements for vacant positions. An on-site presence is often recommended with this arrangement which proves invaluable in allowing us  to learn your company's culture from a first-hand perspective.  

STAFF DEVELOPMENT

Also offered to select companies with whom we have long standing relationships, staff development services include team building, guiding your staff to better utilize an existing ERP (Employee Referral Program), program performance tracking and reporting, team focused business development practices and succession planning. Each company is unique in its culture and size. Contact us to inquire about our services so we can develop a proposal that is customized to your company's needs. 

Ultimately, our job is provide your company with the best talent available in the timelist manner. Our knowing your company well - inside and out - is in itself a very powerful sales tool because our excitement about your firm is transferred to the prospective candidate. It's important to remember that it's not only the candidate that must make a good first impression.
