Improving Your Business

We solve staffing problems.

We specialize in recruiting so you don’t have to. Identifying quality candidates is challenging at any time. Sorting through volumes of job applications and résumés to identify only one or two qualified candidates can be an extremely time-consuming, frustrating and expensive process with less than optimal results, both in performance and retention.

We know how to find the right fit.

We recognize your employees are your most valuable asset. We understand you’re looking for talented employees that are the right fit for the role, team, your strategy and culture. We can help you increase your competitive advantage and accomplish your goals by acquiring the best-suited employees faster, and that will be retained longer.

We’re proven, trusted recruiters.

We have the required experience, skills, attention to detail and connections. Standard, saturated job boards and ads are mediocre and meant for everyone else. We rely on our proven, time-tested sourcing methods, 40 years of client relationships, extensive candidate networks and a vast database for superior results and return on investment.

OUR RECRUITING PROCESS

Job Description

When working with a first-time client, we prefer to start with a face-to-face meeting and a site tour. These steps assist us in understanding the opportunity, culture and overall environment of the company. During this important interaction, we assess needs, define the scope of the search to be conducted and execute a comprehensive strategy to ensure a successful outcome.

Search Execution

We take a strategic approach to recruiting. Central to this approach is our thorough understanding of the importance of aligning candidates with your leadership, culture and business goals. We offer a customized solution to your recruiting needs, tailoring our search efforts to fit your specific goals and cultural environment. Utilizing our extensive database, network and other resources, we’ll launch a comprehensive search. Key steps during this phase include researching and identifying target companies, as well as potential candidates. During this process, we provide you with periodic status updates so that you are aware of our progress and we’re consistently updated about changes to your needs or qualifications.

Candidate Assessment

We conduct thorough phone and in-person interviews with all candidates, screening them with the utmost diligence and caution. On average, we spend 1-2 hours with each potential candidate. Throughout our conversations, we analyze the prospective employee’s core presentation and communication skills. We also explore their work experience, strengths, weaknesses, skill sets, education, certifications, long-term goals, personality and culture fit, compensation and motivation to make a change.

Candidate Presentation

Once we determine that a candidate is the right fit for your position, confirm their genuine interest, and establish that expectations match your predetermined salary range, we present you with their résumé. We take all reasonable steps to supply our clients with accurate information regarding each candidate’s employment history, skills and experience. Along with a résumé, we provide you with a narrative about the candidate’s background, skills, goals and compensation requirements.

Client Interview & Feedback

When you express an interest in meeting with a candidate, we facilitate this crucial step by coordinating time, date and location. After the interview, we solicit feedback from both you and the candidate. At this point, you decide whether or not you want to proceed with the interview process.

Reference Checks

Should you wish to offer employment to a candidate following the interview process, we’ll run a thorough check on two references supplied by the prospective employee. We’ll then present you with the results.

Offer of Employment

We’ll assist you in the structuring and presentation of a job offer to the candidate. If needed, we’ll manage subsequent negotiations with the prospective employee. We focus on gaining a thorough understanding of an offer’s details and the candidate’s interest level prior to presenting an offer. Therefore, we’ll “pre-close” the candidate to identify any questions, concerns or requests prior to the presentation. If issues arise, we’ll make them known to you to ensure a seamless process. Once the offer has been accepted, we review all the details with you to facilitate a smooth start. We’ll also contact the un-chosen candidates, providing them with constructive feedback, as well as the reasons they were not selected.

Follow-Up

For several months after a successful placement, we remain in contact with both our client and candidate to follow the new hire’s progress. Rest assured, our team of experts will be available to you in the unlikely event of performance problems or concerns.

Guarantee

Collabrie offers a 60-day, money-back guarantee on our direct hire placements. This time cushion enables the client to evaluate whether or not the candidate is sufficiently suited for the position. We’ll promptly refund 100% of the fee paid if the hired employee(s) resigns, or the employment is terminated for cause within 60 calendar days from their starting date. Because Collabrie cannot control management or the work environment, the guarantee will not cover terminations due to management change, elimination of the position, lay off or natural disaster.
