5. 2451 ATRIUM WAY | NASHVILLE, TN 37214 | 615–391–2500 | thinkingahead.com Why are we so successful? Because of our process. 1. Matchmaking 101: Creating Your Profile and Discussing Expectations Every great match begins with a clear vision of what we’re looking for and establishing proper expectations related to timeline, deliverables, and method of communication. Key individuals with a vested interest in the outcome of the search are interviewed to discuss what we should be looking for as well as what an ideal fit would be given the organization’s needs and culture (i.e. key Board members, staff, and appropriate external partners). 2. The Rules of Attraction: Telling Your Story 95% of our placements have been generated by direct recruiting methods, networking and referrals. In today’s market, it’s important to shepherd a compelling story into the market place that would appeal to the gainfully employed, top performing candidates— what is it about your organization, the opportunity, the people and the benefits that makes your offering stand out? 3. The Progress Report: Feedback on Your Offering On any given search, we make anywhere between 150-300 outbound phone calls to individuals employed at targeted source organizations, suitable candidates contained in our database and referrals. Throughout the search process, we learn what individuals have to say about our clients (the good, the bad and the ugly) and we’re able to share that information with our client directly. If there’s something that’s misfiring in the market such as rumors of turnover, unrealistic expectations relative to title/job responsibilities and competitiveness of salary, these are items we address. We share with the client market intelligence along with the organizations we’ve sourced and how many A, B and C Players we’ve evaluated to date. 4. The Luxury of Choice: Reviewing Your Candidate Matches Once the search plan is enacted, it takes approximately 12 weeks to fill a position. Clients typically see a short-list of three to five candidates within a four week period after commencing the search. 85% of the candidates submitted are invited to interview. This demonstrates our accuracy in delivering what the client is seeking. 5. The Personal Coach: Getting the Most Out of the Interview Process Most of the hiring managers we work with, while amazing at what they do, are not professional interviewers. Prior to each interaction with the candidate, a client is prepped and after each interaction, the client is debriefed. The same happens on the candidate side. This ensures that we avoid surprises and can quickly address concerns as they surface. 6. The 411: Gaining Third Party Perspective While it’s customary to speak with references at the end of a search process, ThinkingAhead conducts initial, informal reference checks to gain third party perspective on candidates prior to submittal. We follow-up with detailed 360º references checks on the finalist candidates. 7. The Proposal: Increasing the Odds of Getting a “Yes” From Your Top Candidate While barely observable to the client, there are many forces acting against a match coming together. Pre-closing a candidate on compensation, potential relocation, discussing the impending counter-offer from their current employer, preparing them for resignation— these are all things that we talk to candidates about early and often. Since 2004, our Commercial Banking & Commercial Finance Practice has a 85% offer acceptance rate. 8. The Honeymoon & Beyond: Creating A Lasting Foundation and Assisting With Retention What’s the use if the match isn’t set up for success?! After the search is completed, we act as a sounding board throughout the onboarding process, providing consistent follow-up on both the client and candidate side– After 1 st weekly, then bi-monthly for 3 months, then quarterly for the rest of their career.
