The TSP International Engagement Process
- Our engagement begins with a proper conversation with the hiring manager to fully understand the
desired traits, skills, and experience for the role in question.
Crystal-clear clarification on all three components is critical for
sourcing a terrific match that will last and make an immediate positive impact in your organization. In this meeting, we will also
solicit the hiring manager’s opinion of firms that might provide fertile
ground for sourcing ideal talent. When engaging our firm, clients do not
have to worry about “off-limits” issues that could restrict us from
recruiting from their targeted competitors, as often happens when
working with larger recruiting organizations that work for multiple
firms in one industry.
- TSP International prides itself on
converting position and company descriptions that “describe” into
accurate, vibrant marketing documents that “sell,” designed to attract
the interest of targeted talent. With a signed contract and your
approval of our company and position description document, TSP International begins performing original research to identify talent. We
will research our client's industry niche, locally, nationally, and internationally (if
the hiring manager is open to sourcing talent from outside of the immediate area and relocation is an option) to identify ideal talent. We rely on our own detailed original research
for our client assignments, leveraging the efforts of our dedicated
researchers, rather than culling names from a proprietary database of
largely unemployed candidates.
- Once talent is identified, we
conduct detailed, proof-based interviews, screening for
candidates that meet the needs of the hiring manager. For those
candidates that make it through both our initial phone screen and subsequent interviews, we document our results and present the top
three to five candidates for review by the client firm.
- Reference checking is an
integral part of the assessment process that we perform as well, in
sharp contrast to some recruiting firms that conduct reference checks to
merely "check the box" that they were done. Contingent recruiters are
not necessarily rewarded to "dig" during the reference checking process
to test the information gleaned from candidate interviews, as they are
in a race to win your fee – transaction volume from “speed to closure”
is king.
- We are with you every step of the way through the negotiation process and when you extend an offer to one of our candidates, they are not using your offer to get a counter from their current employer. There is also less likelihood of a "fall off".
Time Saving Side-Benefit
With a retained search, our clients no longer have to invest their
time vetting candidates that network and "informational interview" their
way directly in the door; just refer them to us where we will treat
them with respect and evaluate the viability of their candidacy
alongside that of other candidates. The days of worrying about the time
stamp on a resume, or "how did we become aware of this candidate" are
over, as we are rewarded for finding you the ideal candidate, period.
Fee
An engagement with TSP is most-often
competitive with the fees charged by contingent firms. The key
difference is a commitment to work with TS Partners exclusively
through the successful completion of the search, and the timing of fee
payment. The billing schedule for our search fee is 1/3 due upon
contract signing, 1/3 is due 30 days after contract execution, and the
last 1/3 due upon acceptance of an offer by the successful candidate. We
commit our resources to your search, and you commit your trust in us to
lift the recruiting effort for the search in question off of your
shoulders.
We guarantee your satisfaction because we believe in building long-term business relationships. TSP remains in contact with all of our clients and candidates long after the placement.
