JWB 6-Step Process

This is the initial and most crucial stage of the search engagement. Our unique search process starts with a conversation to understand the details of your company’s needs and ideal candidate.  It is of utmost importance that we grasp your company's culture to guarantee that our candidates align well with it. Furthermore, we aim to efficiently establish a thorough understanding of job details to execute the search with efficiency and effectiveness. JWB must be perceived by candidates as knowledgeable and professional, as this indirectly reflects the company's image. We understand the importance of establishing a strong foundation that will help us succeed as your search partner. 

Based on the Client’s needs and requirements a comprehensive Unique Position Profile is developed so that we achieve the following key objectives: 

• Accurately reflect the client’s mission, goals, requirements, company culture, organizational relationships, compensation package, etc.   
• Ensure that the candidate’s background and experience align with the responsibilities and critical objectives described by the client.
• Offer prospective candidates compelling details about the distinctive nature of the role and the company's appealing qualities.

Our team conducts a planning meeting tailored to your unique search requirements. It is crucial for our entire team to have a clear understanding of the position requirements and company culture to develop an effective strategy. We leverage our own proprietary databases, along with technology available on the internet, during this initial phase. However, our most successful candidates often emerge from our extensive network of industry contacts. Referrals from respected colleagues within the industry prove to be a very valuable source of qualified candidates. These individuals are typically highly regarded employees who are performing well and are not actively seeking opportunities on job websites or constantly exploring external job options. 

Our team takes our client’s unique message to market and attracts targeted source list. Depending on the specific job, we may reach out to hundreds of candidates before identifying a suitable pool of applicants for pre-qualification. As candidates express interest in the opportunity, we interview and evaluate prospects against the defined criteria for the open position. Our Executive Search Consultants narrow down the options, selecting only the most qualified candidates to present to the client. Our client receives fluid updates on the search as desired and we present our short list of pre-screened strong candidates. We then help coordinate the scheduling of interviews and conduct pre and post interview briefings with both candidates and clients.

After many weeks of hard work, it is imperative that JWB and our clients work together to ensure the offer is presented effectively. We are happy to help facilitate offer negotiations. Keeping the client’s and candidate’s best interests in mind, we secure final agreement of terms.  Resignation can be a very stressful and harrowing experience for candidates. It is important JWB works with the candidate during this delicate period, especially since current employer counteroffers are commonplace in this “candidate driven” environment.

Before the candidate commences their role, throughout the initial stages of employment, and even in the months following their hire, we like to maintain regular communication with both the Client and the placed candidate to ensure smooth progress. It is crucial to establish an effective onboarding program with the client, and if any challenges arise, they should be promptly addressed. We are committed to fostering long-term relationships with our partners, and in the unlikely event that a candidate does not work out in a role within 90 days, our team will backfill the position or another position of your choosing.
