RAFTELIS 8 METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH Executive Search Strategy When organizations need to fill key positions, they turn to Raftelis and benefit from this guiding principle: meaningful hiring involves finding the right employee and preparing them for ongoing success. Our approach to executive search services comprises three key phases. Inquiring, Understanding, and Defining We begin each search by conducting a thorough needs assessment to understand the essential experience and background your new employee must possess. We also help you define the new incumbent’s first-year goals so that your organization and the new employee are on the same path toward success. Based on broad input from both internal and external stakeholders, we build a customized position profile for each search, ensuring we attract the best applicants from across the country. Candidate Search and Evaluation To reach the right candidates, Raftelis customizes our search process to fit your needs. Often, the candidates best suited to a position are already employed and not searching for a new job via traditional channels. So, we leverage our team’s extensive, diverse professional networks to attract the best talent nationwide. We have demonstrated success assembling candidate pools that are racially, ethnically, and gender-diverse. We are dedicated to helping our clients fill leadership positions with candidates that reflect the communities they serve. We work closely with several organizations that support this goal, and we advertise positions with national organizations that represent people of color and women, including the National Forum of Black Public Administrators (NFBPA), the Local Government Hispanic Network (LGHN), the International Network of Asian Pacific Islander Public Administrators (I-NAPA), and the League of Women in Government. Once we have identified a highly qualified pool of candidates, we manage the full hiring process, from interviews to background checks to final offers. We provide personalized support to your team as well as candidates to ensure a thorough, equitable, and transparent search process from start to finish. Supporting Success We support your new leader’s long-term success by creating an actionable first-year work plan. Many firms focus solely on finding qualified applicants, leaving the new employee and the organization on their own once the position is filled. Our team, however, uses the objectives gathered during the inquiry stage to prepare new hires for a successful first year. We follow up to ensure continued progress, productivity, and satisfaction for the employee and our client. In the end, we are not just looking for a successful candidate; we are looking for the right employee to be successful in their new position long after their initial hire. of our recruitments resulted in the hiring of 41% women of our recruitments resulted in the hiring of 22% people of color Docusign Envelope ID: D4801E72-97C0-85C1-81EB-4799A225EC0B
