Competent, experienced staff with knowledgeable, effective leadership are the hallmarks of a well-run organization. Attracting and retaining the “best and the brightest” means the difference between a marginal return on investment and a business that lives up to its economic potential.

HVS delivers superior value by focusing on the needs of our clients and bottom line results. Our record of accomplishments demonstrates the success of our four-step approach to the search process. TALENT + KNOWLEDGE = POWER

Based on discussions with you, we define the job parameters and identify the professional and personal qualifications you require in an ideal candidate. A written profile and project timeline are developed to aid in the search.

A research plan is developed to identify the field of potential candidates. This plan uses our extensive research skills, SPIDER® software and our broad industry network. Targeted candidates are contacted and screened to ascertain interest and compatibility. A weekly conference call is scheduled to keep you up-to-date on the search assignment.

Interviews are conducted and assessment profiles are administered for potential candidates, covering work experience, management style, personal characteristics, and other essential criteria. Summaries of the top candidates are presented to you and meetings are scheduled with the selected individuals. Based on the assignment, other measures may include the development of a customized candidate matrix and/or a strategic "white paper".

Feedback from all parties is reviewed to measure interest and determine a course of action. At your discretion, we may participate in employment negotiations with the prospective executive. The terms of an agreement are defined and communicated. HVS Executive Search conducts business reference checks only. Background checks, drug testing and so forth can be done by a third party provider at applicable costs.

HVS Executive Search is a member of the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) and abides by the AESC Code of Ethics and Professional Guidelines and the Client's Bill of Rights. For further information on the AESC and a copy of the Client's Bill of Rights visit their website at www.aesc.org.

We guarantee the candidate for a period of 12 months from the date of hire. If the candidate leaves your employ within this period for any reason we will replace the candidate at no additional fee, except for out-of-pocket expenses.
