We build and implement a comprehensive plan to meet your recruiting goals that includes:Understanding your technology, strategy, culture and people needs Developing profiles, skills lists, and job descriptions Identifying candidate sources (including competitors) Establishing systems and processes for tracking, administration and hiring Developing a pipeline of candidates Qualifying candidates by phone and in-person Presenting hiring managers with pre-screened, pre-qualified candidates Following-up with offer letters and "closing" the hire Management reporting to provide comprehensive situation reports for presentation to your board, investors and management teams to retain focus, identify progress and continually highlight your return on investment. Our methodology is based on our practical experience and a unique combination of skills that make Devon James the only practical solution to scale-up hiring:Technologists - we are, first and foremost, part of High-tech and have served in management roles in both established and start-up technology companies. We understand (or can readily grasp) your technology and business model. This simplifies communication and maximizes the time you spend interviewing qualified and pre-screened candidates. Recruiting Professionals - balanced somewhere between salesman, HR person, and counselor the role of recruiter requires sales discipline, strong qualification skills, passion and energy in prospecting, and relentlessness. We know how to "close" and land the candidate who isn't looking for a job. Self-administering - we bring all of the systems and procedural tools required to get the job done. We provide detailed management reports for board, hiring manager, and HR review, and the War RoomÔ provides an instant status of every opening. Leverageable - with our approach, hiring managers spend their time choosing between qualified candidates. We eliminate administrative chores, automate the process, and teach your entire team the ins and outs of aggressive recruiting campaigns. Systems-Thinkers - we bring a system of recruiting to your company, including processes, information systems, and other tools and techniques that make you self-sufficient. Many of our clients tell us that they didn't really see the full value of this approach until after we had completed the initial assignment. Affordable - we'd be happy to provide you with both a generic ROI model for your scale-up project or, under NDA, the specific results that some of our clients have enjoyed. The Devon James approach moves recruiting to a fee-for-service model, and away from the high-costs of traditional headhunter fees. If you're a technology company with a scale-up hiring project in your future, you need Devon James. We won't waste your time, we won't waste your money and, if we can't make a difference, we'll tell you and walk away. To get started, get in touch. You won't regret it.
