While no two clients -and no two searches-are the same, Great Plains Consulting has identified and established a rigorous set of principles that we apply to the search process.
Clear Understanding of our client”s organization-its history, culture, operations and needs-and the scope of the assignment. We define each assignment clearly in writing, including the timeframe and anticipated fees and expenses.
Research and Sourcing begin when both Great Plains Consulting and our client agree upon the specific definition of the position and the attributes of the desired candidate. We review our data sources, including our proprietary database. We analyze target industries. We also initiate confidential discussions with sources of candidates at this stage.
Interview and Evaluation takes place after our research and sourcing efforts identify the best candidates. We interview them, determine their level of interest, and evaluate their qualifications and personal suitability.
Candidate Reports and Recommendations are submitted only for the candidates deemed most appropriate for the position. Great Plains Consulting will submit reports detailing the candidates” business histories, as well as our candid appraisal of their fit within the parameters of the position.
Client Interviews and Assessment. We arrange meetings between client and candidates and help clients evaluate the outcome. This includes answering questions that may arise and arranging subsequent meetings if necessary.
When the client makes a clear choice and extends an offer to the candidate, Great Plains Consulting navigates the final steps in the search process.
