PBSI's sourcing focus is finding exceptional program and project managers to lead critical corporate initiatives. Our recruiting team has over 10 years of project management experience -- we know what characteristics to look for in a project manager and what makes one project manager great and another just okay.

Phase 1: Recruitment Profiling and Qualification

Most important to a successful recruiting mission is a thorough knowledge of the experience and personal characteristics necessary to be successful in the position. At the beginning of each search assignment, we work together with the client to define the key selection criteria and skills required for the candidate placement. It is critical that we also understand your company’s culture in order to ensure that our candidates represent the right cultural fit. Our clear and comprehensive understanding enables us to finalize a Position Profile and conduct the search efficiently and effectively. Using our proprietary search process, personal contacts, industry associations, network of resources and colleague referrals, we narrow our search to identify suitable and qualified candidates.

Phase 2: Candidate Presentation and Review

On the basis of our targeted research, we approach potential candidates on an informed basis. We verify each candidate’s academic and professional qualifications—as well as their portfolio of achievements. Once we determine that an individual is both qualified and interested in the position, we interview and screen each candidate for further evaluation. Before presenting a candidate to the client, we conduct a rigorous competency-based interview. Each candidate is assessed and validated against the position specifications and a report is prepared with competency assessments and recommendations.

Phase 3: Interview Process and Debriefing

Prior to presenting a candidate to our client, our search consultants do their best to determine if the candidate is a good match for the opportunity. In addition, we consider the candidate’s motivation for making a career change and judge whether they are genuinely interested in the opportunity. We then schedule a series of preliminary phone interviews with the hiring manager, human resources and other executives. Our goal is to present a minimum of three qualified candidates, giving the client an opportunity to select the ideal candidate.

Phase 4: Candidate Offer and Commitment

Our search professionals are available every step of the way during the search and placement process. When an offer is made to a candidate, our consultants are available to participate in negotiations to finalize the offer. We also help each candidate prepare for any potential counter-offers that they may receive. We conduct a detailed client satisfaction survey after every search assignment. In order to improve the quality of our service in the future, we actively seek feedback from our clients and identify any issues from which we can learn. We retain an interest in the executives we helped recruit well after they accept their new positions. We make ourselves available to the client and new executive to help with integration in whatever way we can.
