Careers Front Page

We first determine an appropriate, detailed description of the position. This should include the responsibilities of the position as well as the qualifications to obtain the position. The client can either provide this, or we can work with the client to develop it. We feel that this is an incredibly important part of the recruiting process. Vague job descriptions only lure vague candidates.
Our second step is to take that job description and post it to our web site (click here for an example). This can often be done within the hour. Our website has been online since 1996, which has allowed us to develop a high Google rank on many search terms (click here for an example). We can also post the position to job boards and appropriate newsgroups almost immediately. You can be confident that we will not reference your company's name in any posting.
We then perform searches within our own database of over 100,000 candidates to determine likely candidates. These are put on a "hotlist" and are contacted soon thereafter. We then use our network of contacts and Internet resources to cast a larger net. We can find candidates where few others can find them.
Once we find a potential fit for your company, we do a thorough interview. We seek to ascertain motivations and personalities, as well as establish knowledge and credentials. The person is given a detailed description of the opening and briefed on the company. Once a person has given his/her full consent, we submit that person's resume to you.
We can then schedule a phone screens or interviews with the candidate. After every interview, we request that we receive thorough feedback on the candidate. This allows us to better "fine-tune" candidates in the future. SHS will then schedule any follow-up interviews.
When an offer is extended, SHS will negotiate between our client and the candidate (if necessary). This will allow us to alleviate any doubts that the candidate might have.
After the offer is accepted, we maintain close contact with both parties in order to ensure that the transition is successful for all involved.
