DACOM's Retained Search provides a precise, surgical approach to recruiting needed for achieving maximum results. By utilizing a single source who is both knowledgeable and experienced in your technology and/or industry, you will maximize the probability of success. When dealing with multiple recruiting sources, the possibility of misrepresentation or miscommunication becomes more likely.

Retained Search incorporates the latest techniques in search and recruitment with a total commitment of time and resources. This approach should be carefully considered when demand for specific experience is very high and supply of potential candidates is low. Our search methodology generally falls into four main phases:

Understanding Your Requirements
The first phase of the search is to work closely with you to develop a complete and thorough understanding of the position to be filled and the qualifications of the individual you are seeking. Equally important will be a clear perception of the unique characteristics of the environment in which the successful candidate will be working.

Research and Potential Candidate Identification
The second phase of the search involves an extensive research effort to identify potentially qualified candidates and sources. During this search, we will be using our proprietary databases, targeting appropriate companies, sourcing key industry executives and doing some confidential checking on potentially qualified candidates. The result of this Phase will be the review of a "long-list" of potentially interesting candidates.

Candidate Contact, Evaluation and Presentation
The third phase of the search involves our contacting the targeted candidates to screen them for interest and qualifications. At the conclusion of this phase, we would expect to present a final panel of candidates or "short-list" for your consideration.

Interviews, Referencing, Offer, Negotiation, Closure
The final phase of the search, the selection and closing, although primarily your responsibility for execution, will be coordinated by us. This will include the coordination of initial and subsequent meetings with you and others as appropriate, the communication of the results of each meeting to you and the candidates, the development of a strategy for final offer, the management of a thorough reference checking process, and the closing of the successful candidate and the management of the transition.
