Five Steps to Qualified Candidates

1. Identification

First, we work in tandum with our client to establish a position profile which describes the position, the ideal candidate and key cultural and operational characteristics of the recruiting organization. We spend time up-front to develop an understanding, not just of the specific assignment, but of the clients’ organization, objectives, management requirements, and people.

2. Strategy

We collaborate with our client to establish a research strategy based on parameters and specifications outlined in the job description. At Thorn Recruitment, we structure each research assignment to the requirements of the client's specific needs. From the start, there is a mutual understanding of the scope and direction of the assignment, including potential complications or challenges. We present this information in the form of a proposal.

3. Targeting

Thorn utilizes a methodical and disciplined approach to research targeted organizations and source passive talent. This research provides names and titles of individuals currently employed by the targeted organizations who work in the appropriate functional area.

4. Interviewing

We directly contact and interview potential candidates to establish their qualifications and interest. Thorn Recruitment conducts telephone interviews to determine candidates qualifications as outlined in the proposal.

5. Selection

Thorn selects both completely qualified and interested candidates to be forwarded to the client in the form of a candidate profile. It is at this point that our client takes over responsibility for initiating an aggressive and proactive recruitment effort. Following the submittal of the last candidate profile, a final search summary and comprehensive end report is sent to the client.
