Our Process
Experts in Execuitve Search since 1959, Sanford Rose Associates® developed a revolutionary approach to the search process that is designed to produce better candidates faster by taking the "trial and error" out of recruiting. That new approach, called Dimensional Search®, identifies closely matched candidates in often less than half the time taken by traditional search firms.
At the beginning of the search, following in-depth conversations with the client, the Sanford Rose Associates - Toledo search consultant constructs a Dimensional Search® profile that will be used to match candidate qualifications to job requirements, past work experience to future assignments and personal management style to corporate culture. That profile — combined with our search methodology, in-depth knowledge of the markets we serve, and state-of-the-art technology — enables us to present highly qualified candidates in far less time than is typically spent on senior searches.
The Sanford Rose Associates - Toledo search consultant, along with the other members of his or her office team, serve as the client's business advisor at every stage of the search process — including candidate identification and presentation, interview preparation, selection, construction and extension of the job offer, resolution of any issues and acceptance of the offer. Supporting the consultants is a highly experienced research team whose role is to ensure potential candidates are meticulously identified. In addition, Sanford Rose Associates® takes reference checking of short-listed candidates seriously through a stringent reference checking process before candidates are presented to clients.
Before accepting the search assignment, Sanford Rose Associates - Toledo provides each new client a letter of engagement, detailing the scope of the search, payment terms and obligations of both parties. Once the search is completed, Sanford Rose Associates - Toledo asks the client to evaluate the firm's performance.
