Our Executive Search Philosophy
At CRW Executive Search Consultants, our experienced team collaborates closely with client management on all levels to meet the specific needs of clients.
Before commencing a search assignment, we ensure a thorough understanding of the required skills, experience, and intangible traits. Using this information, we develop a detailed position specification that aligns with the function, corporate culture, and critical elements desired. We then research and outline the search universe where ideal candidates are likely to be found, including competitors, similar environments, and vendors.
Our search process begins by leveraging our extensive network within the client’s industry to generate leads and referrals for top talent. We recruit, identify, and qualify candidates, presenting only the most promising prospects. Our top candidates undergo pre-screening and interviews before being referred to the client. We also conduct comprehensive behavioral evaluations to identify success and failure traits and assess the candidate’s potential longevity in the position.
As the client starts interviewing final candidates, CRW Executive Search Consultants handle confidential reference checks and degree verifications. We guide both the client and candidate through the offer and acceptance process and provide consultation during the final transition.

The Retained Approach
If you are a company that needs a client driven executive recruiter then this is the program you need. This approach ensures a client that the recruiter is spending their time efficiently recruiting for the retained position. You are paying for a service. What is that service? As described above, it is a more comprehensive approach to recruiting for a specific and strategic position. The recruiter creates the position spec with the client and defines the search universe. The client then receives a project agenda about the recruiting time line. Both the recruiter and the client work closely together to create a strategic path to the top candidates. The recruiter identifies, pre-screens and interviews all candidates in person. In addition, the client will receive a progress update with the names and numbers of all candidates considered. This guarantees that the recruiter is on the right path to finding the best candidate per the client’s specifications. Once the candidates have begun formal interviews with the client, the recruiter finishes the process by checking references and degree verification. The candidate and client are then coached through the offer and acceptance procedure by the recruiter.
Many clients need a strong commitment from their recruiting firm that the position will be filled in an efficient and effective manner. The clients desire these progress reports and project agendas to add security to the search process that all possible avenues have been thoroughly exhausted. The Retained Approach is geared for clients that demand results and commitment from the recruiter to represent their needs during the search. Our commitment to satisfying the client’s needs every time is what makes CRW Executive Search Consultants such a respected executive recruiting firm.
