Executive Search provides most thorough qualification process in the industry

Aggressive approach

The Executive Search staff makes cold calls and networks with peers, colleagues, and other professional contacts instead of placing ads and sitting back to wait on responses.

Educated decisions

Part of a consultative partnership, the team gives its credit union clients concise, factual advice and comprehensive information, enabling them to make the best and most-informed decisions.

Innovative technology

This service uses the latest technology throughout its identification, assessment, and selection processes, producing high-quality results in the shortest amount of time possible.

Seamless process

The recruiting process is seamless and delivers the best and most qualified candidates. The team provides tools to assist credit unions in moving this process forward quickly and efficiently, eliminating unnecessary steps and expenses.

Thorough qualification

Executive Search’s qualification process is one of the most thorough and rigorous in the industry. It begins with four interviews: Prequalification, technical, personal, and video conference. Applicants then complete a behavioral assessment, generating 20–25 pages of data on soft skills, management style, behavioral traits, and personality. From there, candidates complete a technical questionnaire or business plan summary, followed by the preparation of a digital resume.

Cultural considerations

According to Executive Search Vice President Marcus Cotton, cultural fit is an important consideration. “We identify key points in the credit union’s culture, and then evaluate candidates’ soft skills to see if they are a fit,” said Cotton. “This part of our process is equally as important as the technical evaluation.”

Complete background investigations

While candidates are being qualified and matched, the Executive Search team is handling background investigations, including criminal and civil activities, credit verifications, validations of education, social media scans, and documentation captured from professional references.

After the top candidates are selected, materials are compiled into a presentation and delivered to the credit union.

Credit union interviews

Professional recruiters from the Executive Search team conduct candidate reviews with the credit union, assist with setting up interviews, and handle negotiations. This full 360-degree service delivers a process that completely vets executive talent.
