D'Andrea & Associates-Candidate Research & Development

Focus & Benchmarks

Our front end recruiting focus is on original candidate research plus initial candidate contact and candidate profile development.

We begin with confirming job specs and appropriate target companies.

Our candidate research is not compiled from job/resume posting boards or from resumes otherwise posted on the www.

Candidate profile development includes the initial phone screening of candidates, qualifying and selling candidates on our clients’ opportunities, and creating candidate profiles which summarize each candidate’s educational background, work history, skills, compensation, interest level, and contact information.

Pricing can be customized in terms of the scope of the search, including the number of target companies, the number of positions, and the number of candidates to be researched and profiled. Search configuration and pricing remain flexible, as necessary, to meet our clients' needs. Searches are typically priced at about $16K.

The initial three weeks (approximately) is dedicated to candidate research. During the next three weeks, which is dedicated to candidate contacts and profile development, our clients receive daily emails of candidates’ profiles.

A typical search will involve researching approximately 80 to 90+ candidates and submitting 60 candidate profiles. Our typically conservative expectation is that approximately 20% to 25% of the recruited and profiled candidates will be open to our clients' follow up to further phone screen, interview, sell, and close the best candidates.

Upon completion of their emailed profile flow, clients receive original hard copies of all profiles and a database report for their physical files. The database report consists of candidates’ names, titles, companies, phone numbers, and the Open/Not Open status of each profiled candidate's interest in our clients' opportunities.

D&A submits a net 30 days invoice at the beginning of the search. By the time a client’s payment is received, the profile flow is usually completed, or near completion.

Clients may make as many current or future hires as possible, without further compensating D&A.
