Client Services: Technology Searches

Process

LionSearch was founded to provide, and is dedicated to, the utmost in professional and ethical services.
LionSearch recruits and qualifies technology candidates with strong attention to professionalism and detail. We have built a reputable network of professional connections in many different industries which enables us to seek out the most talented candidates for a client’s particular needs, and we are the only contingent firm in Chicago to have a Researcher on staff.

Our first step in working with a new client company is to clearly understand the role. This entails both a detailed conversation with the hiring authority as well as an in-person meeting to get a good feel for the cultural environment.

Our second step is to identify, screen, and thoroughly interview prospective candidates. The top candidates are sent via email, which includes both a current resume and notes covering salary details and key information collected from our interviews.

LionSearch’s third step is to coordinate all interviews, gather feedback from both parties, and answer any follow-up questions.

Our fourth step is to negotiate the compensation package, which includes base salary, bonuses, vacation, start date, and miscellaneous items (relocation package, etc.). We are also happy to provide and check candidate references.

And our fifth and final step is to stay in touch with both the client and the hired candidate to ensure a smooth transition and mutual satisfaction.

Presentation of Candidates

All of LionSearch’s candidate submittals include an up-to-date resume and a detailed “write-up”, which includes the following information about the candidate: details of recent projects; impact the candidate has had at their firm; current salary and bonus potential; reasons for considering a new job; and any relevant information that is not usually in the resume.

This information is designed to help our client firms look beyond the resume, and gain valuable insight into what we have learned from both a phone interview with the candidate, as well as a detailed in-person interview.
