Recruiting the wrong candidate is costly to an
organization, in terms of lost time and company resources, and
in disruption to company morale. That’s why Criterion’s
Beth Hare devotes considerable up front time with clients, to
clearly ascertain their recruiting needs and the unique cultural
fingerprint of their organizations.
Proven Success:
- Criterion's clients keep coming back.
More than 70 percent of our clients are "repeat customers,"
having used Criterion for more than one search. Criterion
has completed twelve searches for one of the nation's largest
foundations and four searches for large New York/Philadelphia
law firms.
- Criterion gets the job done.
Criterion can boast a 100 percent completion rate on retained
searches.
- Criterion
understands the client's needs.
Assessing a client organization's cultural climate and then
evaluating each candidate for fit within that organization
is central to human resources decision-making.
- Criterion
boasts a win/win success rate.
Candidates placed by Criterion transition smoothly into
their new positions, perform at high levels and make significant
contributions.
- Criterion
responds quickly.
Criterion once identified a candidate and finalized a search
in just 72 hours! While this is certainly not the normal
length of a search, in this particular case, the candidate
was an ideal match, now having been with the company two
years and promoted twice.
Obtaining a firm grasp of a client organization’s needs
and culture requires a strong relationship between search firm
and client. This is where Criterion also shines. Communication
skills and discretion are the cornerstones of the Criterion
recruiting process. Our excellence in both areas puts clients
at ease when candidly discussing their staffing needs, any sensitivities
surrounding particular transitions, and nuances in organizational
culture. This, in turn, helps Criterion to serve clients better.
Finally, clients say one of Criterion’s strengths is the
firm’s ability to recruit candidates from untraditional
backgrounds—those professionals with perhaps an atypical
profile but whose hidden talents and exceptional skills make
them ideal additions to client organizations. Knowing a client
well enables Criterion to push the envelope in such creative
ways when recruiting quality candidates.
