Search Support Group - A Staffing Solutions Company

Our Services

While the firm specializes in recruitment and staffing across a wide range of industries and functional areas, the firm has been asked to provide a wide range of human capital related services as detailed below:

 

 

CUSTOMIZED, SCALABLE RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS

Search Support Group’s proven search process targets the most qualified people for the position, not just those actively pursuing a new job. As a result our clients get top performers for their companies. We work with our clients to target those companies that would house the talent and experience they seek. We then identify the candidates with the best potential and provide a high caliber presentation to develop candidate interest.

Our unique value proposition charges for our services by the hour, with no retainers, contingent search fees, administrative charges or cancellation fees. Pay for the time invested in your project.

UNBUNDLED CUSTOMIZED RESEARCH:

Our customized research is a great alternative to classified advertising, Internet searches and other less productive means of identifying candidates. We focus on the passive marketplace, those candidates who are not actively looking for a new opportunity and thus may never become known to your firm. Whether you need to hire one executive or fill multiple openings, you pay for the research once. The research becomes a valuable desk-side reference that can be used for future sourcing projects and competitive intelligence.

COMPETITOR TALENT MAPPING:

Understanding your competition and how they are organized, how they compensate their management team, who are the rainmakers, can be one of the most important pieces of research for your company. Through competitor talent mapping, clients develop a clear overview of the competitive landscape, giving them the ability to identify and track high potential future leaders. By managing the talent pipeline, you gain a strategic competitive advantage when key appointments are necessary.

Using traditional research techniques combined with our market insights, our team will develop an organization structure, by company, department or functional area including job titles and reporting relationships.

We work with your management team to ensure that our research is customized to answer your specific questions. Our research methodology involves in-depth telephone research and inquires, but we also review industry trade journals, and online resources to supplement the data gathered yielding a comprehensive report.
Some examples of recent projects are:

INTERIM EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT:

Interim executives have become an integral part of every company’s staffing strategy. They provide the flexibility in staffing needed to accommodate a changing economy, to handle temporary increases in workload, to efficiently launch new projects and to discover new approaches from industry experts acting as consultants.

For companies that do not have the ability or the desire to add permanent overhead, but still have interim needs for Executive talent, our Contract Staffing group can offer you access to our database of successful and market tested executives who have the knowledge, skills and experience to help you get results immediately. Our interim management solution enables our clients to get all the management help they need—and only when they need it.

EXECUTIVE ASSESSMENTS:

The right talent in the right job spells success.  Our system enables companies to replace company biases often involved in the selection process of hiring or promotion with factual data based on job requirements.

An unbiased assessment that reveals people's values that motivate them to do a job, the behaviors they will bring to a job, and whether they have the specific talents or capacities needed for the job.
 
Our assessments provide a summary of a person's talent as it relates to predetermined benchmarks for the specific position. We provide a report showing HOW (values), WHY (behaviors) and WHAT (capacities) an individual can contribute toward a job.
  
Uses and Functions:

 

CORPORATE CULTURE ASSESSMENTS:

D.I.AL.O.G. (Data Indicating Alignment of Organizational Goals) is an assessment tool that provides information as to how well critical organizational elements are working together to achieve business and strategic goals. It also identifies which of these critical elements are working against you. Our approach is unique in that we measure the interrelationships of the essential elements, which become predictors of future strength. We are not concerned with measuring communication for communications sake, but rather how effectively is an organization communicating to its employees. As such our approach is outcome focused, rather than simply measuring non-relevant activities.


REFERENCE CHECKING:

Search Support Group offers its clients a stand-alone cost saving solution to the process of professional reference checking. One of our trained professionals will contact your candidate's references on your behalf. We will explore the candidate's strengths/weaknesses, work ethic, accomplishments, leadership skills and areas for development. You will then receive a written report highlighting the reference responses and a professional summary of our findings

 

PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING:

Search Support Group through its relationship with Lexis Nexis is able to provide your organization with comprehensive background checks on any new hires you are considering. From our office we can run complete investigations including but not limited to:

National Criminal Background Checks
Driving Record and Credit Reports
Previous Employment and Professional License Verification

All with a 48 to 72 hour turnaround, depending on the scope of the report. Give us a call and we can provide you with a detailed list of services and their cost.
