Position Profile Research
Position Profile Research is useful to gauge new and unfamiliar positions as well as provide means to compare your typical position descriptions and salaries/compensation plans to those of your competition. Identify the quickest and most effective recruiting strategy to fill the position. Advertise it effectively or assign it properly to a search firm.
We help you avoid costly recruiting, hiring and retention mistakes by making sure you have an accurate and industry/market competitive job description and salary for the desired position. We work closely with you to prepare a complete position profile and then talk with managers who hire and supervise similar employees at companies in your industry and (where possible) in your market.
We provide an effective job description based upon your input and information gathered from other industry sources in order to determine responsibilities, compensation, current employee experiences, market conditions for recruiting, and successful methods of recruiting.
Managers currently supervising similar positions in competitive companies are contacted. Associations and/or other professional contacts are made.
We issue a report with an evaluation of your position vs. the market, a range of compensation levels identified, and list companies & locations polled.
Challenges and potential cost exposures are assessed, and time-to-hire and cost-to-hire scenarios are discussed. We render a detailed opinion and recommend recruiting strategies.
You can reduce your time-to-hire, cost-per-hire and potentially save tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising fees, executive search fees, misdirected internal recruiting efforts, hiring mistakes and retention problems caused by having an inaccurate position specification, salary, compensation plan, benefits, etc.
