I. RECRUITMENT TEAMS – More Heads Are Better Than One
The Power of Team Work
At STRIVE, it’s no secret: we’re team players. Whether it’s partnering close with our clients to intimately understand their candidate needs and company values, or working diligently amongst our own recruitment specialists to scour the market for talent, we put the authority of “we” above all else.
The Focus of a Team Captain
In order to streamline the communication process while we conduct our search for your candidate, we’ll put you in touch with a STRIVE Ambassador that will act as your single point of contact. This person will act as a liaison between you and your dedicated team of researchers and consultants.
We’ll Wear Your Team Colors
We don’t take the responsibility of representing your company lightly. While we recruit talent for your company, we conduct ourselves as an extension of your brand. All communication with any potential candidates will exactly match your company’s cadence and values, and the talent we recruit will reflect the same professionalism and utmost standards.
When you invest in STRIVE, you invest in all of us—and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.
II. THE S3 – The STRIVE Search System
The S3 is the only recruitment method in the contingent space that employs a proactive search for talent across an entire dedicated research team. The S3 system offers a full suite of recruitment services that are designed to assist you from the moment you decide to recruit talent, right up until you and your new hire sign an employment contract. More importantly though, our rigorous research and screening processes ensure that all candidates meet or exceed your company’s cultural and professional standards.
Our proven recruitment strategy is broken down into 7 strategically executed stages:
1. The Ambassador Visit
First, our Ambassador will meet with you at your office to learn exactly what you’re looking for in a candidate, and immerse themselves in your company’s culture. This gives us a firsthand glimpse into what it’s like to work for your company, and take note of the corporate tone and values that we will be extending to each candidate.
2. The S3 STRIVE Search System
At STRIVE, we pride ourselves on our ability to offer clients a unique research system that runs entirely on the raw technical ability we have as a recruitment team. In fact, we’re the only recruitment company in the contingent space that works within a team dynamic. By using a variety of methods across a dedicated group of focused individuals, our researchers uncover hidden top talent through a variety of platforms, including a growing database, established networks, and a strong online presence.
3. The Screen
Once we find a group of potential candidates, we begin the first round of interviews over the phone. In this initial call, we rigorously check the candidate’s technical abilities. If the person being screened meets or exceeds a set list of requirements, we then move on to an in-person interview at our downtown Vancouver offices.
4. The Interview
This round of interviews takes a deeper dive into each candidate’s qualifications and assesses the likelihood of them being a cultural fit for your organization. In addition to delving into each candidate’s professional history and personal strengths, STRIVE consultants employ expert interviewing techniques to uncover their genuine professional intentions. If any interviewees are considered suitable candidates, we conduct thorough employment and reference verification, as well as background and credit checks.
5. The presentation
After carefully assessing The Screening and The Interview processes of each candidate, we select who we believe to be the best professional and cultural fit with your company. We’ll present you with a full character profile of each candidate that includes:
- A brief write up of relevant personal and professional experience
- A snapshot of their LinkedIn profile
- The candidates desired salary
- Any additional info you require about a candidate
6. The Face-to-Face
After you select your desired candidates from The Presentation, we will coordinate a face-to-face meeting at a mutually convenient time between you and the candidate. After the interview, the Ambassador will debrief both parties to assess how the meeting went. Any relevant feedback or red flags that arise from this discussion with the candidate will be communicated back to you, so you can make a completely informed decision.
7. The Close
After selecting your star candidate, our Ambassador will work with you to draw up an employment contract that reflects the best interest of both parties. Drafting a mutually beneficial contract is an essential step towards securing and retaining top tier talent..
