BETTER HIRES: After we conduct a thorough assessment to determine your specific needs, we customize your search to locate candidates who ideally match the qualifications. We do not rely on databases full of job seekers. Through unbiased Direct Recruiting, we target the right companies and, within them, the best potential candidates.

Our clients attest to the fact that our process also reduces unwanted and expensive turnover. UNIQUE SCREENING & EVALUATION PROCESS: Smith James Group, Inc. uses an approach which incorporates two unique components. First, each candidate completes a series essay questions we design with you. The essay responses helps us together gauge “how the candidate thinks”, how they communicate in writing, and enables us to preliminarily assess whether they are a qualified candidate. Second, we conduct digitally recorded phone interviews which you can easily download and review, enabling us to quickly eliminate and confirm potential finalist candidates. We ask each candidate the same questions and record the candidates’ exact responses resulting in the equivalent of a totally unbiased first interview. This process also facilitates immediate buy-in from potential candidates, and quickly uncovers individuals who are not committed to pursuing the opportunity. Your image is enhanced by the quality and thoroughness of the questions posed to all candidates. COST AND PROJECT CONTROL: We charge for our services by the hour. We guarantee never to exceed what you would pay to traditional retained executive search firms. Our Cost-Based-On-Efforts business model does not require retainers, expensive cancellation fees or administrative charges. We conduct ongoing assessments to make sure that all projects are on track and on budget, ensuring that you have the greatest ROI for your key positions. Our proprietary computer system tracks and reports all activities on your project. You may hire additional candidates at a minimal charge resulting in even greater ROI. SPECIAL SERVICES: We have a formal alliance with CMR and OI Partners who provide superior Outplacement, Career Transition and Executive Coaching services. Since our services are “ala carte”, you have the flexibility to select and pay for only those services needed to support existing in-house resources. We can also refer you to the best providers of other human resources related services.
