Customized Search Process

Trovato Group’s customized approach to developing the design of the search assignment is driven by the client’s staffing need, business interest, and position requirements. Trovato Group’s process assures a more cost effective and time efficient search that results in the acquisition of talent that will produce results.

The design and structure of each search assignment revolves around the factors of confidentiality, urgency to fill the position, organizational level of the targeted position, availability of required skills and experience in the market, level of requested service, accessibility of talent, length of the placement guarantee, and client commitment to the search. Once we have obtained an understanding of the client’s professional need we customize the search proposal consistent with the requirements of the position and service needed to effectively complete the search. There are three phases of the process that include: Search Design, Candidate Sourcing and Client Interview & Selection. Each Phase is described below.
