What we Do

 These meetings often include key board members, members of the senior administrative team, Chief Human Resources Officer, peers, and subordinates.  To ensure a successful outcome, CSJ Staffing  will spend a considerable amount of upfront time with its clients, interviewing the key stakeholders about the role, getting to know the culture of the institution or organization, learning the makeup and bench strength of the existing team and identifying which competencies and styles will be most successful for the placement.  These meetings enable CSJ Staffing to gather important information about the requirements of the role.  Stakeholder investment requires a time commitment on the part of the client and CSJ Staffing. – both parties must be willing to engage. 

 Because CSJ Staffing limits the number of engagements, we take on at any one time, we are in a unique position to move much more nimbly than most of our competitors.  Leveraging the information gathered from meeting with our clients, the search team conducts original research to identify and profile ideal candidates. 

 Whenever possible we pre-reference candidates.  We take great care not to jeopardize a candidate’s confidentiality when we verify past performance and essential soft skills. Those candidates that are not a fit are closed out.  Working closely with the client, the list is refined to a slate of 3 to 6 strong contenders for the client to interview.    Client interviews of the candidates scheduled to winnow selection down to the two or three finalists.  Those that are eliminated, are closed out. 

 As a finalist(s) candidate emerges, formal referencing begins, supplemented by the early stage referencing mentioned above. The search team makes every effort to ensure discretion and confidentiality. Background checks and degree verifications are performed.  Our final Reference Reports are above all else credible and factual – as our reputation depends on it. 

 We will work closely with our client and the candidate to set and manage appropriate offer expectations and assist with all facets of a candidate’s decision-making process (relocation/housing, spousal/family concerns, opportunities for the future, etc.). 

 Research tells us that the candidate’s first 60 days are the most critical for long-term success, and a wrong step can quickly become a major roadblock. Once our placements are on board, CSJ Staffing will have regular check-ins with the client and the candidate in an effort to provide unvarnished feedback and act as a helpful onboarding and cultural advisor.
