We analyze the client's organization and develop a full understanding of the position to be filled. A lead consultant then submits an engagement letter and position specification to the client.

We develop a profile of the individual to be recruited and a search strategy to locate the best possible candidates. Through our industry contacts and our experienced staff, we compile a list of target companies and potential sources.

Coleman Lew proactively and aggressively recruits prospects on behalf of our client. Our original research ensures that we identify the best candidates, and we personally interview individuals to determine fit and suitability with the organization. Only the most qualified prospects are presented to our client. For each qualified candidate, we provide a written profile and verbal evaluation.

We coordinate client-prospect interviews. As our client moves toward a final decision, we help them assess the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate, check references on finalist candidates and, if desired, conduct executive assessments and background checks.

After a search is completed, we work with the client and new executive to ensure a smooth transition. With these methods in place, 88% of our clients return to us for subsequent searches. Coleman Lew stays focused on the long-term leadership potential in every search.
