Executive Recruiting

Step One: In-person meeting and company/industry research

AquantUs' exceptional service starts with an in-person visit* to your offices to learn more about not only your open positions, but your company's culture and personality as well. Our focus is on building cohesive teams and matching up a candidate's skill set, experience, goals, values, and priorities with those of your company. We will also perform extensive research on your company and industry to supplement our current knowledge and to ensure that we understand not only the details of your needs, but how those needs fit into your overall strategy as well.

*When physical visits/interviews are not practical due to non-local or international needs, video-conferencing is available.

Step Two: Identifying, evaluating, and screening candidates

Once we understand the requirements of the position and the type of individual who will be a fit for both the open role and your company culture, we reach out to our extensive networks to identify the best candidates. We meet with all of our candidates in-person* and perform an in-depth screening on both technical and soft skills. We document the results of the screening and provide you with this summary for all candidates submitted for consideration.

*When physical visits/interviews are not practical due to non-local or international needs, video-conferencing is available.

Step Three: Presenting the best candidates for your consideration

Once AquantUs has thoroughly screened the candidates, we bring only the very best to you for your consideration. Each candidate's resume is submitted with a summary assessment of his or her fit for the position, a summary of the results of our in-person screening, his/her salary expectations, and any additional information that you request or that we feel may be of interest to you.

Step Four: Interviews

We can assist with scheduling interviews, if desired. We follow-up with both you and the candidate after each round of interviews to ensure that no surprises arise. We pre-close the candidate on the position and expected salary through every stage of the process. Should any new information or concerns arise during these follow ups, we will bring them to your attention immediately.

Step Five: Offer Negotiation

Should you choose to move forward with an offer to a candidate, we will use the information obtained during all of our pre-close conversations to ensure the negotiations go smoothly and that there are no surprises at the offer stage.

Step Six: Reference and Background Checks

We perform formal reference checks, a background investigation (at the level you request), a credit check (upon request), and any other investigation that you require. We stay in constant contact with you and the candidate from the time the offer is accepted through the first day of employment and beyond.

Step Seven: Follow up

We follow-up with you regularly once the offer has been accepted and continue after the candidate's start date to ensure that the candidate is performing to your expectations.
