  • RECRUITMENT AND SEARCH
 

The Cnesta Search Model is a retained service approach to search for key positions.  Our focus is to deliver a comprehensive and positive experience for both clients and candidates that provides the following all-inclusive services for each search.

The Cnesta Group Search Model was built on the premise that the selection of the candidate to hire for a position within your organization is a critical but not final step in the search process.

Instead, the Model provides post hire assessment, assimilation and coaching.  The coaching process will typically pertain to the initial 3-4 months in the role but could extend to six (6) months as needed.  The Cnesta consultant will continue to follow up or “check-in” quarterly through the first year to assist the successful hire with their integration into your company culture and their new role. 

In depth discussions, and where practical, on-site visits with customers to learn about ‘the business’, identify desired profile and gain appreciation for the culture to expedite the selection process. Specific and detailed questions are provided in advance to the customers.
