"The human mind is our

Our Process
Our difference: Identifying not just “What” but “How” a candidate has performed.
“Your Accomplishments Questions with candidate written responses are what sets Colosi Associates apart from other search firms.”
Many search firms set about to:
- Understand the hiring need in the unique context of the hiring company
- Develop a Position Profile
- Develop a comprehensive candidate sourcing strategy
- Identify and recruit A-Players
- Evaluate against the Profile
- Beginning to end consultation and negotiation to a winning offer
We do this too. What else do we do?
We develop questions specifically tailored to learn about a candidate’s past accomplishments that are critical for success in the new role.
Not just to learn about WHAT the candidate has been doing (x years experience in y function) but to learn HOW well the candidate performed. What was accomplished? How will it translate to the role we are recruiting?
Candidates respond in writing. Our team and our client can review the responses along with a resume. Our process results in greater clarity of goals that will mean success in the role – for the client and for the candidate, before the position is accepted.
This process combined with our team’s depth of experience in Finance and in recruiting A-Players are what set us apart from other firms.
Benefits for client:
- Unqualified candidates are eliminated early in the process
- Candidate can determine if the company’s highest priority areas match where he/she wants to focus his career (not just skill, but WILL to do the job)
- Candidate’s written communication skills and strategic thinking processes are provided for review before the interview begins
Recently a client wanted to move forward with a candidate after reviewing his resume and our initial phone screen. The Accomplishments questions revealed the candidate’s weak communication skills. We recommended not to continue with an in person meeting. Our client remarked, “This is what I like about your process. Saves me time. Eliminates candidates that do not meet our leadership and communications bar.”
