Retained Search Advantage

Our Retained Search Division, headed by our CEO Roger J. Zetter CPC, handles assignments typically focused at the Director, Vice President and President levels across the supply chain field. We provide our retained search clients with dedicated attention to your specific search assignment.

Our dedication to your needs is evident in the process we use to ensure the success of your search:

To begin, we communicate with each member of your hiring team to ensure that we thoroughly understand the assignment -- through your eyes. This discovery meeting gives us a deeper understanding of the personality of your organization and your needs. It also gives us a barometer by which to assess potential candidates.

During this discovery phase, we share pertinent information relating to target companies and industries which we and you agree will lead to successful hires.

Next, we develop a white paper for you that illustrates our understanding of the position. This paper is designed to ensure that you and our retained search team are truly aligned as to the direction and execution of the search. We work with you collaboratively to fine-tune the document and incorporate any changes or modifications to accurately reflect your objectives.

Within three days of your acceptance of the final search process white paper, we provide you with a list of target companies and industries for approval. Here again, we review this list with you, and make any modifications or additions.

Once the search is underway, we furnish you with weekly reports detailing the list of candidates and sources, and their status. For those candidates we interview personally, we provide you with a dossier of their employment and salary history, job skills and qualifications, and an analysis of their strengths in relation to your position.

Within the first 14 days of the search, we will identify three to five candidates, and with your permission, meet with them in person to qualify them for your position. We will send you a written evaluation of each candidate after their interview.

Once we determine that a candidate qualifies for the next step in the process - the interview -- we assist you in the coordination of these efforts.

When you decide to make an offer to a candidate, we supply the reference checks and work with you to prepare a successful offer.

Our search process of identifying and evaluating candidates continues until you have made an offer, it has been accepted, and your new hire has started.
