Our Lean Sigma Search™ Control Phase Recruiting Deliverables

Process Transition and Monitoring

Like any successful Lean Six Sigma project, the Control phase of our Lean Sigma Search™ value stream process focuses on maintaining the positive results gained from a successfully concluded executive search effort. As a result, our involvement with the chosen candidate and client doesn’t end with the completion of the search process. We believe in helping both parties achieve a smooth transition. During the first several months, we take the time to monitor the new employee’s progress and the client’s satisfaction. By identifying potential issues early, we can help drive resolution quickly and ensure the satisfaction of both the client and the newly hired candidate.

Continuous Process Improvement

Because we believe in developing a long-term partnership with our clients, we are focused on the continuous improvement of our Lean Sigma Search™ value stream process. At the conclusion of our efforts, we seek written feedback from both candidates and the client. This candid feedback helps us to continually upgrade our services and ensure client and candidate satisfaction.

Guaranteed Results

We are so confident that our Lean Sigma Search™ value stream process will yield a suitable match between candidate and client that we back it with a replacement service guarantee.
