  We recognize that each and every search is important for our clients and candidates, so we developed a process that reflects this fact. We provide confidential retained and contingency searches leveraging our proven global network, which enables us to strategically procure passive professionals 

Once you’ve determined what role you need to fill, here’s what to expect:

Intake Call

The process will start with an intake call where we get the opportunity to understand your company. We want to understand your vision and get an idea of the culture and perks your organization may have. Why are you looking for a candidate? What would be the “ideal” fit? Have you used a recruiting agency previously? What has been your experience? We want to get to know you as a hiring manager, and understand your process and timeframe.

Employment Agreement

Before we begin a search, we will send you an Employment Agreement which outlines our commitment to conduct the search as well as agreed upon terms. Once the contract is executed, we will begin the search!

Sourcing Candidates

We begin a strategic search based upon your specific needs to find the right individuals. Once we find what we deem an appropriate fit for your role, we will submit the candidate to the hiring manager for review.

The Write Up

We don’t send over a dozen resumes for you to go through. It is our job to thoroughly screen and select the top candidates for your review, saving your precious time. We send only the “best of the best.” For every resume we present, we may have spoken to several dozen candidates about your role. We write a detailed report that will include explanations of job changes, salary history, successes, and failures. Our goal is for you to get a full picture of who you are interviewing before you spend time speaking with them.

Interview Process

During the interview process, our team assists with scheduling. We know you may not have the time to set up the next steps in the process. We will help coordinate the candidate’s schedule with your schedule and facilitate the interview process, providing feedback to the candidate on your behalf and arranging subsequent interviews as needed.

Debrief on Candidates

After the interviews, we’ll debrief with you to determine which candidate(s) you’re most interested in at that time.

Offer

Once you have decided to make the hire, we will help ensure a smooth process. We will have already discussed salary requirements with the candidate, therefore guaranteeing their desired compensation will be within your budget.

Lame Duck

In markets with low unemployment rates, expect counter offers from current employers and other companies that are going to continue to poach your new hire. It is our job to make sure that doesn’t happen. We will be in constant communication with the new hire, as well as with you.

The Post Hire

We check-in with your new employee often. We want to hear what they like about the job and if they have any concerns. This is a crucial time period and if there are any issues, we want to make sure to relay them to you immediately.

Invoice

We invoice on the first day of the candidate’s employment. All payments are due within 30 days of invoicing.

Our Guarantee

We want to always ensure that our clients and candidates are satisfied, so C4 offers a 90-Day Guarantee. Details of this will be outlined in the Employment Agreement.
