OUR SERVICES > Executive Search

We believe that finding top management is serious business. We take a thorough approach to executive search to ensure that senior leadership that meets your organizational culture as well as the technical requirements of the job.

Our standard process includes incorporating a formal competency-based position analysis methodology, which will also help narrow specific interview questions in evaluating prospective candidates. The DNA of Performance will define selection criteria based on the input from your search committee while helping them focus on the overall direction of the organization as a whole. This process will allow the "job to talk" in order to minimize biases, develop an accurate job description, create a strong participatory search team, and improve the interviewing process.

The Sales Strategy Index and other Managing for Success reports are also used during the process to assist in determining the right fit with the organization. Ultimately, we want to ensure that we will be completely thorough in identifying those characteristics of the position that the team feels are important now and in the future in order to minimize costly hiring errors.

In addition, we focus on both the "how" and "why" individuals communicate and behave the way they do with the DISC language style analysis (similar to Myers-Briggs). This involves the team that works most closely with the marketing director in order to bring forth any areas that may not otherwise be discovered in the interview process. Candidates under serious consideration also complete the simple survey to better establish a "fit" with the style of the existing team prior to interviews.
