Search Method

Our search process is a team effort. It requires confidence and cooperation between the client company and our Project Manager. The main elements of our search process are:

Planning
Following discussions with company hiring authorities to define the exact requirements, both technical and personal, a comprehensive candidate profile and position profile are developed. These specifications form the basis of the search strategy and serve as the frame of reference for evaluation of candidates.

The Search
MRI of Savannah excels in locating exceptional candidates because we design a specific, targeted recruiting program for each project. 

Research 
A thorough research effort is conducted using client competitor information, personal industry sources and confidential referrals to uncover potential candidates. We possess an extensive state-of-the-art database and research library and the ability to use them effectively.

Candidate Contact 
Once potential candidates are identified, recruiting contact is made on a personal, direct and highly confidential basis. This phase is two-fold, and is possibly the most critical time of the search. We now become the spokesperson for the client and must represent him in the professional manner that you would represent yourself. We present your company objectives, as well as the position opportunities, responsibilities and potentials. At the same time, we examine the candidate’s basic qualifications against the comprehensive profile developed during the planning stage, and we carefully solicit the candidate’s goals, evaluate strengths and weaknesses, as well as reasons for considering the client companies opportunity. Once a strong mutual interest is determined between the client company and the candidate, further evaluation and the presentation phase will follow.

Presentation to client company 
Once evaluated, only the outstanding candidates are presented for your consideration. We then assist you in scheduling and monitoring the interview process with your management team.

The Hire 
While you are the lone decision-maker regarding the most suitable candidate, we can assist you during this critical phase. Our Reference Checks with superiors, peers, and subordinates can provide you with helpful information in making your decision. We effectively operate as a middleman providing assistance in negotiations of a final offer. Our Project Manager is skilled in providing counsel and in facilitating communications when discussing the terms of salary, relocation and benefits. The impact of the final decision on the candidate’s family and personal relationship’s is constantly assessed. We also play a vital role in assisting the candidate through the emotional process of resigning his/her current position and what to expect, such as a counteroffer. This ensures the successful transition into a new and lasting relationship between the candidate and the client company.

Financial Analysis and Relocation Service
A career change may also trigger other changes for individuals and their families. Through an exclusive national agreement with Prudential Financial Services, we provide 24-hour mortgage qualifications. We can answer questions and assist candidates regarding pension and 401K rollovers, comprehensive financial review, total financial planning and, if necessary, complete relocation information, including cost of living data for a new area, information about schools, recreation, community highlights, etc. These services are offered at no cost or obligation, and a relocation specialist ombudsperson is assigned to assist the candidate and family.

We have also selected Van Line Express, Part of FAS, as our official moving partner. Through this relationship, we can secure substantial discounts for our client companies and candidates, along with offering the very finest in professional and personalized service.
