| When
filling leadership positions, DRG´s approach is to encourage
active involvement from a committee of search leaders and stakeholders.
With our help, your organization and search committee understand the
process and remain focused on core issues and needs.
A
search committee is usually made up of volunteers and maybe one
or two staff members. The volunteers on this committee play an active
role in defining your organization´s present and future core
issues. As the process moves along, they assist in developing the
position description, reviewing resumes, interviewing candidates,
and checking references. We encourage committee members to spend
the appropriate time with candidates and to communicate their feedback
with us.
When
working with an organization to recruit a senior staff member, we
involve the chief executive officer, department directors and perhaps
one or two Board members in a similar process with the same support
described above.
We
do expect our clients to be thorough and candid with us and to respect
the confidentiality of candidates. If, along the way, you propose
any changes in your organization´s plans, we ask you to keep
your DRG team apprised. Everyone is in the search together, and
therefore, everyone involved should be pooling candidates and information
about candidates through the same process.
