Strategic Ventures’ retained search process is most appealing to clients who need assistance either in:
a) Quickly finding and hiring candidates from intensely competitive markets;
b) Identifying candidates that are aligned with a highly unique position profile; or
c) Developing a consistent monthly flow of candidates to meet the demands of a long term resource hiring and staffing plan.
Strategic Ventures begins its retained executive search process with an onsite Business Assessment Session. This meeting is designed to enable Strategic Ventures to first fully understand the client’s strategic goals, internalize their competitive advantage and understand the types of resources needed to achieve their growth objectives. Strategic Ventures recruits for them through this disciplined executive search process:

— Summary of candidate's qualifications, career goals and observations

- Coordinate interviews between client and candidates
- Debrief candidates after interviews and provide feedback to client
- Conduct detailed reference checks on the most promising candidates
- Provide the client with a written summary of reference checks
- Consult with the client on final candidate selections
- Provide resignation consultation to selected candidates to help address transition anxiety or counter offers from their current employers
