Rock✯ GPS Executive Search
The competition for top talent is tough, especially for organizations struggling to align its value propositions to its desired talent pool. Heartwork is here to help you identify, attract, and on-board mid-level to chief executives that can help move your organization from good to great. With our support organizations learn how to properly level their current selection model to reach your target audience of talent and networks or we can help you build a selection model that speaks to the technical and cultural specifications of your vacancy, right down to the individual competencies needed for success. Our talent acquisition strategies are inclusive, thorough, and are indicative of your organization's culture and industry best practices.
First, we work with our clients to determine their ideal candidate profile, talking through the basic details of the position, such as compensation, education and location requirements via an in-person or virtual intake meeting. During our initial conversation, we will also identify a few guiding competencies and determine each stage in selection. Heartwork is happy to provide a range of executive search services from full-cycle recruitment to sourcing only projects - whatever meets your needs! Using the info gleaned from our intake meeting, your Heartwork partner will present you with a market comparison for your role, organization and how it contrasts with similar roles from aligned organizations. This information will help determine how industry competitive the role is and reveal the appropriate career profile for the ideal candidate. All of Heartwork's services are performed from an equity, inclusion and justice lens so your partner will also highlight any red-flags within your organization's recruitment and selection practices and recommend an adjustment through direct and compassionate dialogue, implementation assistance and tools on how to execute a more inclusive process. In partnership with the Unbrand collective, Heartwork's executive search process uses an à la carte approach, designed to fit any budget!
