Phase One - Initial Assessment
When you retain The Sandler Group to begin your search, we conduct meetings with key stakeholders, for example, search committee members, selected board members, senior-level administrative staff and others who may be designated by the search committee, to develop a keen understanding of your organization and its goals and expectations for the new executive. This phase is usually completed in a one-day site visit.
During this visit, we facilitate in-depth discussion about the position to define the ideal candidate’s key competencies, functional abilities and personal attributes—all based upon your organization’s vision, values and strategic direction. When our meetings conclude, we draft a position specification describing the opportunity, expectations and profile of the ideal candidate. This position specification is used both internally and as a sales tool to present the position and organization as professionally as possible.
