Our Process

Methodology

Our methodology is at the heart of our ability to produce results. We use a sourcing process that allows us to identify and recruit the most diverse qualified and accomplished candidates in the opinion of peers and recognized leaders. We focus on recruiting the best candidates available, not just those who are looking.

The process relies on a thorough understanding of three important elements:

  • What will constitute success for the individual hired
  • What he or she needs to accomplish to achieve that success
  • How to best present the opportunity to attract the top candidates

Timeline

TMG’s project timeline is fluid to meet the client’s hiring objective.

Benchmarks may condense or stretch depending on decisions and the candidate marketplace. Search and evaluation phases intersect and cycle to maintain momentum with top candidates while continuing to find and present more.

We communicate each of your decision points and their implications throughout the process to keep your target hire date in sight. Urgency and due diligence are key ingredients to make the best selection.
