Through our noted SEIT reporting system we facilitate effortless collaboration with each Officer in Charge (OIC) to assure that definitions established to facilitate goals are maintained or improved upon through the search process. Deliverables are available 24/7 electronically; regardless of geographics.
Establishing Goals
Working in collaboration with our clients at the onset of each search we obtain an understanding of the business, technical or creative media goals to determine the experience and skill sets required. We focus on "traditional" organizational relationships, reporting matrixes, succession planning, change management, budgets, corporate goals and the corporate culture to identify the required tactical and strategic experience required. Essential to this phase is Filcro Media Staffing’s capacity to make knowledgeable assessments that relate to a media client’s immediate and long-term business, technical and or creative goals.
Once these goals have been established, we prepare a unique document that outlines the responsibilities, experience and skills required of the "ideal executive". This document outlines the scope of the work that Filcro Media Staffing will perform during and after the recruitment, identification, assessment, verification and attraction process. The information we require to initiate a search is obtained from diverse sources such as the hiring manager, an executive search committee, or senior human resource professional. Filcro Media Staffing will establish consensus amongst varied internal interests at the onset of a search to assure that compensation and the desired experience are in-line with current market conditions.
Search Initiation
The compiled search documents and insight garnered by interaction with human resources, the hiring executive(s) or executive search committee are utilized to channel Filcro Media Staffing’s media and broadcasting industry acumen and specialized recruitment experience to our client’s greatest advantage as we establish a proper search universe. Once the search universe evolves we tier recruited candidates based on means that have been established to conduct appraisals.
As proceeding with the appraisals of those recruited distinguish are the most qualified candidates by tiering based capacity to meet or exceed the standards established of the “ideal” executive. The search universe is divided into 1st, 2nd and 3rd tiered executives. As we accumulate data with regard to logistics, collateral materials, assessments, verifications and executive justification statements we develop a documented "search ecology".
Identification
Candidates on the 1st tier are thoroughly interviewed, evaluated and profiled on a multitude of levels to determine their qualifications within context of a client’s needs. Hard, soft, tactical and strategic skill assessments are facilitated by established profiles, scenario work and proprietary methodologies with proven efficacy to garner additional insight into the functional experience and capacity of each media executive. Detailed profiles and justification statements are presented pertaining to each candidate's business capabilities.
Verification
Once an "ideal group” or "ideal individual” has been identified we proceed with meticulous verification of work history, compensation structures, education, achievements and business relationships from many different perspectives. We verify tactical and strategic acumen internally and externally to an organization. All candidate information is available on each client’s SEIT site for senior level searches as the work is proceeding enabling a client to be involved in nuance as the “ideals” become more apparent.
Logistics, Information and Deliverables. SEIT
Filcro Media Staffing’s SEIT system combines traditional and proprietary reporting tools to provide real-time access to information. The result is a simple, effective and sophisticated tool called SEIT. All clients conducting senior level executive searches have access to our proprietary SEIT system. Pronounced “see it” it is an acronym for Search Ecology Information Technology.
The entire search ecology including: resumes, candidate profiles, letters of reference, verifications, interviews, travel and client meetings are available through SEIT to provide timely and accurate information to everyone involved.
The search process can be as collaborative or autonomous as a client requires.
Client Assessment
As each client evaluates tiered candidates we verify that the recruitment process is facilitating the identification of "ideals" at every phase of the search. The written profiles and statements compiled are intended to address specific issues during the proper phase of assessment.
Offer and Acceptance
The firm will convey and confirm mutual interest, compensation expectations, relocation dates, vendor commitments and contract initiation if requested. We will assist in establishing a formal offer of employment as a liaison with corporate counsel or human resources during the final phases of acceptance or negotiations.
Acclimation
Once an executive is in place Filcro Media Staffing remains involved in the acclimation phase, if invited to do so. This process includes professional and personal specifics that are intended to assure that the executive is happy, performing well and committed to their professional obligations.
