How We Do What We Do

Friday, September 22, 2023  by Bailey

The Bohan & Bradstreet Approach:

Phase 1: 

Researching the Marketplace

The B&B team performs a detailed analysis of competitors, aligned organizations, and marketplace to develop sources for candidates. Candidates are originated from a variety of proactive and passive resources (i.e., direct/indirect recruiting, networking, existing database of candidates, professional associations, recruiting partners).

Identification & Evaluation of Talent

First, we identify and qualify the right candidates to invest in evaluating. This initial probe centers on career history and progression, appropriateness of experience, education, compensation, reasons for seeking new employment, status and parameters of candidate’s availability and aspirations. If that effort is successful, the second phase is an in-depth interview of career with the accent on responsibilities and contributions over the last 8-10 years. The third part is the evaluation of soft skills and determination of the appropriateness to the search (i.e. leadership, organization, multi-tasking, prioritizing, problem solving, level of patience, project management, eye for detail and follow through, communications). B&B goes beyond the paper and just matching the search criteria to the resume. We assess the cultural fit and the future compatibility.

 Phase 2:

 Client Presentation

Each Client is different and we attempt to accommodate the format that the specific Client wants. Most typical after completing the evaluation process, we provide a current profile of each candidate accompanied by additional insight gained during the interview process. This commonly is a combination of on-target knowledge and experience, appropriate accomplishments, parallels between past history and Client’s opportunity, career motivators, reasons for change, personality traits, compensation history, and availability.

Phase 3:

Interview Logistics & Feedback

To expedite and facilitate the search process, B&B coordinates the logistics of the interviews with all parties. Everybody needs feedback; both positive and negative. Being the catalyst and coordinator, B&B provides meaningful commentary and observations from all parties and facilitates the interview process to take advantage of interest, clarify perceptions, identify omissions and/or concerns, revisit timing issues, and other potential hurdles.

Phase 4:

References & Background Checks

Some companies like to do their own references; however, the vast majority of our Clients prefer that we do all or most of them. Our references are customized to the needs of the Client that we serve and are unique for each candidate. We contact superiors, peers, subordinates and external customers. We provide a paraphrased synopsis of our findings and present that with all the appropriate contact information in case the Client would like to ask additional questions.

 Final Negotiations

If the expectations of all parties are managed effectively, then the result is a successful negotiation and acceptance.  Clients are comparing various candidates for their needs and attempting to establish fair value for talent selected. Candidates are comparing current employment with external alternatives and attempting to establish acceptable value. Every Client and candidate is unique. B&B provides insight of impressions and expectations, openly discusses the evaluation, brings clarity to any open issues, and partners with both parties on final negotiations and start date.

 After the Acceptance

B&B stays in communication with all parties before the new employee starts, after new employment begins, and throughout the candidate's career.  We are here to add value and insight as part of a long-term relationship. Part of our success is due to the interest we have in the development of candidates’ careers within the client companies we serve.

We Will Never Forget

Monday, September 11, 2023  by Bailey

Bohan & Bradstreet was started in 1987 and 5 members of the current team were in the B&B office when the tragedy of 9/11/01 occurred.

We will never forget that day and will always carry the lives lost in our hearts.

3rd Quarter Hiring

Friday, August 18, 2023  by Bailey

 

3rd Quarter is proving to be very active with 9 completed searches in the last 6 weeks and over a dozen retained new projects added to the docket. Why is there a strong market for hiring right now? Here are the answers:

#1: Hiring authorities appear to be more decisive. We adhere to quality over quantity on every search and the average number of candidates interviewing for searches that we have completed has dropped to 3.4 and the average number of interviews with a client before offer is down to 2.3…..so less number of candidates and interviews with hiring companies has increased the speed of the interviewing process and faster completion of searches.

#2: Candidates are impatient and are looking for a variety of stimuli whether it is upside potential, employment stability, an empowering culture, rewarding benefits and/or acknowledgement for contributions. If current employment is not meeting expectations, then the attitude is to identify a better solution.

#3: Clients are less tolerant and companies are not willing to endure noncontributors, ineffective managers, and employees that cannot change or adapt. Competition and the demand of business is driving this. We have experienced an increase of confidential replacements where the client is looking to upgrade on talent. There is stiff competition for talent.

#4: No bench strength. There is a lot of organic growth. New products, markets, and channels. Acquisitions have increased whether private equity roll ups or companies trying to grab market share. Growth creates need for talent and most companies do not have bench strength so look to hire and promote.
