THE QIA SEARCH
Three candidates. One clear standard. Just results.
The QIA Search starts before we contact a single candidate. We work with you to understand the role, the business need behind it and exactly what someone must bring to the table to be considered qualified. We separate the true requirements from the things that would simply be nice to have. We talk through compensation, location, work arrangement, travel, timing and anything else that could affect the search. Then we go to market.
WE DON'T WAIT FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO FIND YOU.
We are a research firm at heart. We strategically map the market, identify the people who best fit the search and determine where to focus our efforts. Then we move quickly. We engage the people we've identified with a targeted approach designed to get their attention and start the right conversations. Some of the strongest candidates may be perfectly happy where they are. Getting them interested takes strategy, persistence and an understanding of what might make the right opportunity worth considering. That's where experienced recruiting makes a difference.
EVERY CANDIDATE IS INTERVIEWED.
A strong background gets our attention. It doesn't automatically make someone a QIA candidate. We interview candidates to understand their experience, what they've accomplished, why they would consider a move and whether this particular opportunity makes sense for them. We also address the practical things upfront. Compensation. Location. Work arrangement. Travel. Timing. Relocation when applicable. Anything we know could matter later. By the time we present someone, we've had the conversations that help determine whether there's a real reason for you to meet.
THE QIA STANDARD
QUALIFIED.
They meet all of the criteria for the search and have the experience, judgment and track record to be a serious contender for the role.
INTERESTED.
We've interviewed them. They understand the opportunity and have a genuine interest in pursuing it.
ALIGNED.
We've talked through compensation, location, work arrangement, timing and the other expectations that matter for this particular role.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
The QIA Search delivers three candidates we've strategically targeted, interviewed and know are Qualified, Interested and Aligned. You receive candidate information and context from our interviews so you know more than what's written on the resume before your first conversation.
MARKET INTELLIGENCE COMES WITH THE SEARCH.
We're learning every time we research a company, identify a candidate, or have a conversation. We share what we're hearing. Depending on the search, that may include information about the organizations we're targeting, candidate availability, compensation expectations, candidate feedback, market response, and other insights we uncover along the way. If the market is telling us something important, we don't wait until the end of the search to tell you.
STRAIGHT FORWARD PRICING
We don't believe the cost of a search should keep climbing simply because the salary does. The QIA Search has a predetermined fee based on the search itself, not a percentage of your new employee's compensation. It costs significantly less than traditional retained search, and there is no additional placement or success fee when you hire someone we introduce.
You know what you're buying and what it will cost before we start.
