We understand that every organization has unique needs. If the position you’d like to recruit for is not listed above, please contact us to discuss your specific staffing goals.
How We Work
Our searches usually take 9-12 weeks to complete based upon our mutual availability and your unique situation and staffing needs. Here’s an overview of the key phases of our search process:
Learning the Organization; Understanding the Role
By conducting in-depth interviews with key staff, volunteers, and relevant stakeholders, we gain an
invaluable understanding of the position and your organization's current dynamics and structure.
This enables us to develop the most effective outreach and recruiting strategies and to customize the search process to match the ideal candidate to your specific organizational culture.
Outreach
and
Recruiting
Using our extensive database, independent research skills and experience, and long-standing industry relationships, we design a recruiting strategy to identify and engage qualified candidates quickly. We go broadly both to potential candidates and to referral partners, proactively seeking professionals who may
not be actively looking for a change.
While we are researching and recruiting candidates, we work with you to develop and customize an effective interview process.
Screening
and
Selection
Our candidates are methodically interviewed and screened to ensure their skills, career goals,
achievements, and values are aligned with your strategic goals, organizational infrastructure, and culture. After this multi-step interview process, we provide you with an in-depth assessment of each candidate we present.
For finalists, we conduct a thorough, 360-degree reference process that results in a detailed report reflecting what we have heard and learned.
Onboarding
and
Follow-up
We help you structure, present and negotiate the offer and guide you with internal and external communication for successful onboarding. We also assist you in designing an orientation process to help ensure the chosen candidate’s success in the role.
Our relationship with our clients does not just end with a successful placement. We have built our reputation on the formation of deep and long-standing relationships. We prioritize checking in with our clients at regular intervals to see how things are going, act as a sounding board, and provide counsel as needed.
"Just have a coffee with her." I was not looking for a new job, though after I took a call from David and had a few lovely conversations, I ended up having coffee with the hiring manager and eventually took the job. David made the process seamless. He was professional and provided great in-depth information to my questions. Since then, I have worked with David to recruit several positions on our staff. He has made a complex, sometimes daunting process, easy in addition to introducing me to very qualified candidates. David Randall is a great resource for non-profit organizations and development professionals.
