Position description
After careful analysis of your needs, we define the job responsibilities and desired characteristics of the ideal finalist for the position. The resulting position description serves to guide our research activities and evaluation of candidates. It also provides pertinent information to potential candidates and ensures a mutual understanding of the job's requirements.

Research/Sourcing
For each assignment we create a strategy for the hunt. We target executives from our extensive database accumulated from over 18 years of recruiting and conduct original research that involves targeting companies and executives from a broad range of disciplines that match the client’s required specifications. Based upon our thorough knowledge of the business, we contact a wide range of potential candidates and sources, describing only the job we are seeking to fill, while maintaining complete confidentiality, as required.

Candidate interviews
Suitable candidates are interviewed in-depth, typically by more than one member of our search team. This enables us to evaluate each candidate's qualifications, chemistry match, personality, presence and overall adaptability to the job.

Candidate reports
We provide verbal and written career information on candidates presented, as well as our assessments of each person's suitability for the position.

Client interviews
After we have reviewed the recommended candidates with you, we then arrange meetings for you with the individuals whom you choose to interview. When you have selected the finalist to whom you wish to make an offer, we are available, to the extent you so desire, as your intermediary in the negotiations. However, the selection of the finalist and the form and extension of the offer are always your ultimate determination.

Reference checks
We provide confidential written references on the finalists. These references summarize information provided by third parties who are, or have been, in a position to evaluate a candidate professionally and personally. Because most individuals who become candidates in a search are not actively seeking an outside opportunity and have been approached by the Brad Marks International search team, it is important to protect the candidates' confidentiality. Therefore, in-depth reference checks are conducted only after you have indicated strong interest in a particular individual. Informal checks, however, are made throughout the course of the evaluation process. We also routinely verify each candidate's educational credentials.
