Modified Search

Modified Search is a customized service developed by Xavier Associates.  This option is usually used for mid-level management positions with salaries that range up to $100K.  This service provides the client with a seasoned search professional overseeing the research and qualification of candidates.  The client pays for the initial research, which they then own.  No final placement fee is collected unless a hire is made.

• Needs Assessment - We analyze the company's needs to determine the scope of the position, understand culture and mission of the organization, and determine the required set of skills.

• Research - We use our superior Xavier Research team to conduct research specific to the client's position and industry to find an exceptional pool of talent.

• Candidate Evaluation - We interview all candidates and evaluate each on the basis of accomplishments, motivation, leadership abilities, and cultural fit with the client organization.

• Client Interviews - We schedule a mutually convenient meeting between the client and each candidate.  After each interview, the consultant contacts both the client and the candidates for feedback.

• Reference Checking - Once the client selects the final candidate, the consultant contacts individuals who can provide insight about the candidate's qualifications, accomplishments, interpersonal skills and integrity.  The comments made by the candidate's references are then reviewed with the client.

• Completion of Search - As the search comes to a close, we can assist in structuring of the compensation package if the client wishes.  After the candidate has accepted the opportunity, we will ensure a smooth transition and assimilation for both the client and candidate.

This option is also available to be "rolled up" if a client first wishes to use candidate research, but then finds themselves too busy to bring the potential candidates through the process. We can do it for you.
