At Watkins our search approach includes:

Corporate Analysis:  A key factor to our successful long-term placement of candidates is having a thorough understanding of our client. Researching your company’s history, product, direction, competitors and career opportunities and proper analysis of these important factors is essential to bringing high achievers to your attention.

Search Team Assignment:  Upon obtaining key details such as experience level, special skills, education, personality profile, and management style, a search director and recruiting team is assigned to identify, recruit, and select specific candidates.

Sourcing of Candidates:  Our growing research base includes potential candidates in selected companies and targeted industries worldwide. Our recruiting approach is far superior to those found through traditional methods.

Candidate Screening and Client Introduction:  Potential candidates are thoroughly interviewed to understand their experience, capabilities, accomplishments, strengths, limitations, and ambitions. The identity of the client is kept confidential. The strongest candidates who meet the position requirements are selected for presentation.  Following the client-candidate interview the leading candidates’ background and performance records are presented to our client.

Offer and Acceptance:  As specialists in your industry, our staff is uniquely qualified to provide clients with recommendations regarding compensation plans. While final selection of the individual and the offer of employment are always made by the client, we are prepared to assist, as required, in any negotiations necessary to achieve offer/acceptance.

We invite you to see what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and what we can do.  “Through Commitment and Service, Watkins & Associates is the Premier executive search consulting firm.”
