OVER 80% OF OUR PLACEMENTS HAVE LANDED A SIGNIFICANT
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEAL IN THEIR FIRST YEAR ON THE JOB.
Our Proprietary Process
Community Stakeholder Interviews
Our 100 Research Calls to Identify Passive Candidates who are A-list Economic Developers Interested in Your Position.
(Note, these candidates won’t apply just by reading a job ad we place, these apply after we discuss the position with them at length)
- 78% of candidates are considered “passive.” This means they are not looking at jobs boards daily to find a new job, they are likely happy where they are now, but would consider a new job if approached.
- We find “passive” candidates are often far better than the candidates which simply respond to a job ad.
- Our 100 calls find “passive” candidates who otherwise would not apply without us calling them.
Labor Analysis
- We do “blast 2 to 3 minute” video interviews with all our applicants.
- These quick, blast interviews let you assess candidates in the comfort of your home or office right on your iPad or phone before you have to make judgements off boring resumes or before you spend a penny bringing a candidate to town to interview in person.
Operating Cost Pro Formas
No search firm goes as far to reduce your risk as Next Move Group. How do we make such a claim?
- We conduct credit and criminal background checks on everyone you interview. Our competitors typically only conduct these background checks on your finalist. But, we want to know if there is a problem with a candidate before you ever meet them, so we can either eliminate them or ask them about the issue when we interview the candidate.
- We conduct “Management by Strengths” personality testing on all the candidates you interview so you get a picture of the strengths and weakness of each candidate’s style.
- Because we also do site selection, no economic developers in the country will not return our call. We call successful economic developers we know to check out the candidates you interview.
- We do a 7-panel urine analysis drug test on your finalist before he/she signs a contract.
