Global Reach
Sanford Rose Associates is recognized as a leading recruiter of executive, managerial and professional personnel. Having served the recruiting needs of business and industry since 1959, SRA is one of the world's oldest and largest recruiting firms. With offices from North America to Asia, we have a global capability to handle assignments in a wide range of occupational disciplines at all management levels.
Our purpose is to provide the best possible talent for your recruiting needs. We are committed to providing recruiting services of the highest quality. In the course of our searches, we adhere to high ethical standards and an extremely demanding code of integrity, objectivity and confidentiality.
The Executive Search Process
Most important to a successful search mission is a thorough understanding of your operations, the specific requirements of the position to be filled and the corporate environment and management style into which the new employee will be placed. Using a proprietary process called Dimensional Search®, we determine the skills, experiences and personal characteristics necessary to be successful in the position.
Our recruiting process is conducted through referrals and by contacting people in the work disciplines and businesses where qualified candidates are most likely to be. We do not rely on unsolicited resume flow or blind ads.
The talented people we approach are generally not looking for a new position. Most likely, they have not circulated their resumes, nor are they currently reading help-wanted ads. They are the two-thirds of the qualified workforce who are unreachable except through a custom-recruiting approach. They are, however, people who may be interested in an opportunity when it is brought to their attention in a professional and discreet manner.
SRA recruiting assignments rely on our knowledge of the industries and occupational disciplines in which we recruit and use sophisticated computer technology to manage large amounts of information.
Our inquiries are made in strict confidence, and your company is not identified until a candidate expresses definite interest in the position. If we feel there is a fit, we then take steps to recruit the candidate.
Evaluating Candidates
Once we have identified potential candidates, we perform in-depth interviews with each to determine if they meet all client requirements. Additionally we will uncover any personal or family issues that would restrict the candidate’s ability to join our client.
In evaluating potential candidates, the SRA consultant will use our Dimensional Search® process and
- Match the candidate's educational, professional and occupational skills to our client's specific job requirements and needs
- Confirm that the candidate's past experience and successes will effectively contribute to achieving our client's current and future goals
- Verify that a candidate's personal style will complement the corporate culture and will mesh well with the hiring manager's personality
- Evaluate the candidate's long-term potential to take on additional responsibilities beyond the current needs.
As candidates express interest in the opportunity, we evaluate each against the Dimensional Search criteria for the open position. We present for interview only those individuals who best fit the assignment pro-file. We will perform preliminary reference checks and education/certification validations prior to presenting the candidate.
After the interview or interviews, we debrief both you and the candidate, then follow up to ascertain the candidate's interest, provide additional information and resolve any misunderstandings. We assist in composing and extending the offer and in negotiating any changes. When needed, we can also provide relocation assistance and cost-of-living comparisons. Once the offer is extended, we stay in constant touch with the candidate and his or her family to resolve remaining issues and facilitate a prompt acceptance and early starting date.
Relocation Services
When needed, we can provide relocation assistance through our business partnership with a worldwide relocation service---assisting with the sale of a new employee's existing home, providing cost-of-living comparisons and helping him or her find a home in the new location. We maintain a similar partnership with a leading mover of household goods.
