Learn About:
RSR Partners
Whether you are actively searching for employment, in the same position
for many years, thinking that you don’t need to be involved with career
changes or a student about to graduate you WILL one way or the other
come in contact with an industry employment search firm.
RSR Partners is an executive, board and leadership recruiting firm.
Led by Russell S. Reynolds, Jr., the founder of Russell Reynolds
Associates, RSR Partners was formed in 1993 and has been on the leading
edge of advising CEOs and Boards on C-suite recruiting, succession
planning and talent assessment. The
company has strong sector practice areas in consumer products,
investment banking, financial services, industrial, transportation,
healthcare and technology, among others.
Their team collaborates in leveraging the individual expertise at the
firm to solve a variety of human capital issues for their clients.
Their involvement ranges from
board and executive recruitment to providing counsel on management
succession planning. By focusing
on corporate board and C-level mandates, they are continuously expanding
their knowledge base of accomplished senior executives allowing the firm
to more effectively complete assignments.
They are not limited by bureaucracy or internal conflicts or the
regional restrictions of more provincial sources.
Combined with collaborative culture, their clients are assured
that their search objectives will not be compromised by such road blocks
as internal competition for candidates.
The Recruitment Process
Their professionals have over 100 years combined experience recruiting
senior-level executives.
They have a proven approach and a sound methodology for completing
comprehensive searches with both speed and accuracy. The objective is to
identify, attract and evaluate outstanding candidates from whom their
clients can select the individuals who meet or exceed the organization’s
present and future goals.
·
Position Analysis
Meet with our client to learn more about the qualities desired in a
candidate and the job specification. In this way, they develop a full
understanding of the client’s organization, working environment,
specific requirements and objectives, and the role the selected
individual will play in the organization.
·
Research
Once they have established the criteria for candidate selection, they
research hundreds of possible sources.
They also follow up leads within their extensive database and
well-established network of personal contacts.
·
Sourcing
They then begin a comprehensive program to contact sources and identify
prospective candidates. Scores
of candidates may be screened, with perhaps a dozen surviving the
process.
·
Candidate Evaluation
Then they conduct intensive face-to-face interviews with the most
promising candidates. They
consider vital issues relating to work experience and background,
education, personality and managerial style, professional development,
growth and achievement, ability to handle the position requirements and
compensation history.
·
Reference Checking
All backgrounds and references are investigated thoroughly. The results
are fully documented, including references from prior managers that
verify position functions and accomplishments, and performance strengths
and weaknesses.
·
Recruiting
Communications with the client and the candidates during all phases of
the search process are maintained in such a manner as to respect both
the confidentiality and sensitivity of the search agreement.
When an offer is extended, they
participate and assist in the discussions/negotiations in order to
maintain an open channel of communication.
·
On-Going Follow-Up
Once the candidate starts the new position, they remain in close contact
with both the client and the candidate to ensure a smooth transition and
a satisfactory completion of the assignment.
Come to this very important supply chain meeting
and learn some of the secrets of networking with a major search firm
when considering an employment change.
Hear both a search firm executive and a supply chain practitioner
tell about the process of re-engineering your career!
