FAQ
How does SRC Executive ensure success for our leadership positions?
Gone are the days of relying solely on databases and LinkedIn Recruiter. Our approach combines three powerful elements:
- In-Depth Profiling: We dedicate time and resources to understanding your product, needs, and goals, crafting detailed candidate profiles.
- Network and Referrals: We tap into our extensive network for insider knowledge and recommendations.
- Candidate Connection: We engage with candidates and conduct thorough assessments to ensure the perfect match.
By integrating these methods, we conduct a rigorous assessment of each candidate, ensuring you meet only those who are an ideal fit. With our expert guidance from start to finish, you retain a complete overview at every stage of your recruitment process.
What types of executive positions do you specialize in?
With over 12 years of experience, we excel in recruiting for a wide array of leadership positions, particularly within the multi-omics domain.
Our expertise covers searches for C-suite executives, EVPs, SVPs, VPs, General Managers, Managing Directors, and Managing Partners anywhere in the world. And, we do not stop at Executive Search! Our goal is to support your leaders in creating successful teams, ensuring effective scaling for success throughout the entire company!
How do you identify and evaluate candidates to meet our needs?
We first create a detailed tailored candidate profile, followed by a thorough four-step evaluation process:
- Technical Assessments: Unique evaluations developed by our experts
- Behavioural and Psychometric Testing: Our proprietary methods for assessing cognitive skills, personality traits, and decision-making styles
- Performance History Interview: An in-depth exploration of past successes.
- Background and Reference Checks: Thorough verification of credentials and track records.
This meticulous approach guarantees a perfect match between the candidate and the position!
Who manages the Executive workflow?
Only our most senior consultants lead each project from inception to completion; they direct the interviewing process, conduct psychometric and behavioural tests, and ensure extensive background checks are completed. Once your new leader is onboard, we ensure a smooth transition with our post-hire support service, enabling your new executive to hit the ground running.
What makes SRC Executive unique?
Research from the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) reveals a startling statistic: 50% to 70% of executives fail within 18 months of starting a new position. At SRC-Search, we are determined to change that. We immerse ourselves in your company’s culture, goals, and leadership needs. Our hands-on approach means we are actively involved at every stage – from initial search to post-hire support. We do not just place executives; we ensure they thrive. And why stop there? Let’s work together to build out your commercial team under your new executive leader?
