Why is Pre-Boarding Different?

We believe companies typically spend less than 25% of the time and resources required to conduct a thorough recruiting process:

• Job descriptions do not highlight skills and value systems needed for the company strategy and the current team mix.
• Internal candidates are not always spotted, owing to a lack of talent intelligence inside the company.
• Hiring managers are not trained to partner with their retained search firm. Sometimes, they economize and choose to work with a recruiting partner that under performs.
• Informal interviews do not work: only 10% of interviewees respond honestly.
• Formal interviews are not customized: 360-degree or psychometric tests are not tailored to the company and their search leadership team's needs.

With Pre-Boarding, SC&C clients are able to spend the quality time and use the disciplined process required to ensure successful recruiting.

• We work on the job descriptions with your team, based on a 360-degree assessment of their skills, values and needs.
• We help you design an approach to reach out to potential internal candidates.
• We partner with your team from beginning to end, assigning top-tier executive coaches to your search.
• We make sure that the top five candidates we present to you are honest with themselves and fully prepared for the interviews ahead. They are not presented to you unless they have been thoroughly career coached by our most experienced executive career coaches.
• All our assessments are based on proven and relevant psychometric tests as well as fully customized 360-degree assessments.
