The recruiting process involves working with clients in long-term partnerships. Veritas Executive Search ensures that the client will benefit from confidentiality, a commitment to finding the right employee, expert knowledge of the industry and the ability to secure the best candidates within the client's timelines.

Our Practices

Developing the Specifications
Our consultants develop a thorough understanding of the position and client organization by meeting with the hiring executive, board or search committee and, as appropriate, other members of the senior management team. That understanding, which includes a set of position specifications, is then confirmed in writing.

Targeting Candidates
Using the position specifications as a guide, our consultants create a list of organizations where qualified candidates are likely to be found. Then, we assemble an extensive list of potential candidates utilizing personal networks, a state-of-the-art database, as well as published and on-line resources.

Narrowing the Focus
We approach potential candidates with our client's unique opportunity. Once the dialogue is established, we evaluate the candidate's accomplishments and style through a series of in-depth telephone interviews. We validate our judgment of the potential candidate-client match with a proprietary testing instrument.

Assessing the Match
When a good match seems likely, we meet face-to-face with the candidate to corroborate our initial assessment. We spend considerable time becoming familiar with each candidate's personal and career needs to determine if the opportunity is the right fit for both parties. We then conduct preliminary reference checking to ensure that there are no "surprises." A search is deemed to be successful only when "a win" is created for both the client and the candidate.

Introducing the Candidates
Before meeting the finalists, our client receives detailed candidate profiles. These include a chronological resume summarizing accomplishments, compensation information, and a thorough comparison of each candidate's strengths and weaknesses against the specifications established for the position.

Conducting References
Prior to our client extending an offer, we complete final reference checking by talking in depth with references who have first-hand knowledge of the final candidate's professional accomplishments and management style.

Negotiating the Offer
Clients frequently ask us to draft the offer letter and/or serve as intermediary during potentially sensitive negotiations. We assist in structuring and negotiating the offer, as well as designing incentive or deferred compensation plans. Our consultants' experience in these matters, as well as our understanding of each party's objectives and expectations, reduces the possibility of unexpected issues arising at the last minute...or, perhaps even worse, six months into the relationship.

Maintaining Contact
Our consultants stay in touch with the hiring executive and/or board, as well as the successful candidate, to ensure a smooth transition and the continued satisfaction of both parties.
