OUR STREAMLINED SEARCH Process AND PROVEN METHODOLOGY

As experts in national executive search, we provide a proven pathway to hiring the leadership your organization needs. From engagement to executive search completion, our recruitment team works diligently to meet your hiring timeline. No matter how quickly you need to find a leader, we can customize our process to meet your internal goals.

Our proven executive search process includes:

1. Immediate Detailed Analysis - We expediently learn about your needs and implement a successful recruitment plan for your executive position. We provide an effective search timeline you can count on.

2. Executive Recruiting - We tap into our exclusive vast network of national candidates and connection. Since 2006, Scion has perpetually networked with talented healthcare, medical and scientific leadership throughout our nation and globally.  For all searches, we conduct research to identify qualified potential candidates, then utilize our robust built network of talented leaders, and strategically headhunt new targets. Throughout the process we identify leadership candidates that complement your organizations mission, strategic goals and that are true fit to be successful in the role.  

   Our recruiting includes engaging a wide cross-section of well qualified and diverse pools of executive candidates. As many of the candidates we identify are passive, we help to protect confidentiality to retain the highest integrity throughout the search.

3. Networking - We always cast a wide net. Scion employs proven networking techniques to engage and retain exceptional candidates. During this phase, Scion collaborates as a partner to identify target niche industries, key leaders, experts, and potential leadership candidates to discreetly contact and network within.

4. Comprehensive Screening - All candidates are expediently interviewed and methodically matched. Our executive search process allows us to uncover each prospective candidate’s level of experience, professional strengths, goals, motivations, career aspirations, challenges, salary expectations, and accomplishments in relation to the prospective position.

5. Evaluation - We seek an ideal alliance between candidate’s past experience, interests, and prowess, to the likely challenges and responsibilities of the new role. We base our evaluations on the search objectives established by key stakeholder’s and provided by your team.

6. Candidate Presentations - We provide detailed profiles of the most qualified candidates. Scion Candidate Profiles offer insight into the candidates’ specific backgrounds, and include: (1) salary expectations, (2) employment highlights, (3) candidate’s specific availability to begin a new position, and (4) facts evidencing the employment match and other important information.

7. Client Interviews - All of the administrative details for the search are included in our service. This includes finalizing a process with your leadership for interviews, coordinating candidate participation, scheduling appointments, meetings, and offering any advice or preparation on travel arrangements. At all times our staff remains available to you and your organization as a resource, ensuring a smooth hiring process and successful transition.

8. Final Candidate Selection - Our Executive Search Principals assist in debriefing your leadership as needed and are available to identify additional candidates, if necessary. We offer additional highlights of the candidates’ personality, goals, commitment and devotion to your mission, career potential, staying power, growth aspects, compensation goals, track record, geography, and any other information pertaining to your successful placement.

9. Final Reference Checking - After the candidate interviews with your executive staff members, additional in-depth reference checking is conducted for candidates of prospective final interest.  While completing this portion of our search process, we actively engage candidates and meticulously verify references to ensure candidate quality and consistency.

10. Final Offer/Close - Once your organization selects a candidate for hire, we assist in extending a tactful final offer. In turn, we also notify all candidates who applied for consideration and were not selected. To aid in the final hiring process, Scion Medical consults with you on all salary negotiations. Though every search is inherently customized, our experts will consult you in making the best salary offer while remaining within your budget.

*The Executive Search Process can be completed within 30 to 60 days on average, depending on the level of the role, and complexity of the search. In emergent circumstances, expedited searches may also be available, if you require talent to meet a pressing internal timeline. Start a search for staff.
