OUR PROCESS

At Schooner Executive Search, we take pride in the fact that we leave no stone unturned when it comes to our comprehensive approach to nurturing candidate relationships and taking time to “dive deep” when uncovering our candidate’s capabilities, skillsets, motivations and career aspirations.

Our team is equipped to handle the end-to-end recruitment process from sourcing to detailed candidate reporting to presentation of offer to onboarding. Our wholistic process ensures that your company’s needs are at the heart of each and every search we conduct.

Needs Assessment

We work with your leadership team to develop a detailed company profile based upon your goals, growth timeline, area of expertise and company objectives.

Candidate Profile

Each time we undertake a new search, we will work with you to develop an ideal candidate profile based upon factual, quantitative skillsets along with demonstrated leadership proficiencies such as communication skills, authenticity, collaboration and high emotional intelligence.

Passive Candidate Recruiting

Unlike many recruiters that turn to job boards and advertising to procure candidates, our team develops a robust set of metrics by which we measure our search and then utilizes state-of-the-art technology tools as well as grassroots networking to canvas industry resources to turn up high-performing leaders known within their field for commitment to excellence.

Candidate Interviews

This critical step helps to differentiate candidate’s hard skills and qualifications from their abilities to emerge as a high-performing leaders at your organization. Our team develops a list of interview questions based upon your company’s needs assessment and candidate profile to uncover hidden motivations, career aspirations as well as qualitative strengths and weaknesses.

Candidate Submissions & Reporting

Our detailed approach includes full candidate reporting that provides summaries of candidate interviews, significant accomplishments and an outline of qualitative success indicators so that your team can quickly gauge exactly how a prospective employee would fit into your organization.

End-to-End Services

Our process does not end when we submit a potential candidate to you. Our team works with you to set up interviews, present offers, collect feedback, provide “pre” and on-boarding guidance and post-placement evaluations. When you work with Schooner Executive Search, your goals become our goals and constant communication during the entire recruiting life-cycle is critical to ensure we are meeting your company’s needs.
