Phase 3: Candidate Screening and Interviewing

1. Selection, Interviewing and Shortlist Candidate discussions

Upon completion of the identification and attraction phase, Edgewood Education Group will perform an informed assessment of the candidates' background to determine which individuals are appropriate for the next phase of the search process.

In these interviews, we examine the compensation needs, qualifications, education and experience of the candidates to further focus our checklist in order to determine who warrants an interview by our client.

This is the part to the process where your firm will see the results of our search process. After a detailed review of the candidate's professional background we narrow the competition down to a select few.
