A professional recruiter is disinterested in force-fitting a candidate into your operation. They view your executive team as a puzzle—each piece must fit in its place perfectly. A missing piece ruins the picture.

A recruiter begins by developing an initial list of candidates. Each person—perhaps a hundred or more—must be contacted for initial evaluation. They are assessed as to their compatibility with the company's personality and culture. Candidates who get beyond this initial review then undergo further and more intensive scrutiny to eliminate all but those who fit the puzzle perfectly. These are the finalists presented for review by the client.
