We conduct fresh research for every new engagement. Additionally, we source well-respected individuals in our network of business people to gain referrals to other professionals who may be suited for your position. More than database output, our approach yields more qualified, currently active candidates for consideration and contact.

Search engagements have four phases, with segments of each often occurring simultaneously. These phases are:

Phase One: Initiation

• Conduct client needs analysis
• Understand client organization, reporting structure 
• Develop position description
• Build prospect database
• Introduce qualified candidates

Phase Two: Candidate Presentation

• In-person interviews of targeted candidates by a Lowry Rhoads partner
• Develop candidate evaluations
• Meet with client to review evaluations
• Facilitate client interviews of candidates
• Continue to generate new prospective candidates, as needed

Phase Three: Candidate Evaluation

• Additional rounds of client interviews with lead candidate(s)
• Conduct reference checks on lead candidate(s), including degree and professional certification verifications

Phase Four: Hiring

• Assist in structure and negotiation of offer
• Candidate hired
• Assist in transition as requested by client

Communication is vital throughout every search.
We are committed to providing consistent, detailed communications regarding all search assignments. Establishment of a regular communications process, including impromptu calls and meetings as circumstances warrant, are the best ways to keep everyone fully informed as to the progress of a search.
