Comments from a few of the client companies who have utilized our services:
"I was extremely satisfied with your services. You were able to provide well qualified candidates to us in a short time frame. Thank you." *Unsolicited quote from an executive with one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ "...Steve has provided excellent candidates to us over many years, and we have had numerous successful hires from his efforts. Steve is easy to work with, and one of the most honest recruiters I have experienced working with in over 27 years in the HR field. The candidates he presents are well pre-screened and viable candidates. I would highly recommend (and have with my HR pharma group) S L Collins Associates, Inc. for professional recruiting." *Quote from a human resource executive ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ "The feedback we received from your references was excellent. Everyone spoke very highly of your professionalism and integrity." *Unsolicited quote from a human resources executive ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ RETAINED SEARCH, EXCLUSIVE CONTINGENCY SEARCH, and NON-EXCLUSIVE CONTINGENCY SEARCH: The principle difference between these three types of search processes is priority. We realize that when you utilize our services exclusively for a particular search that you are counting on us to deliver the best candidates in the shortest period of time. It makes good business sense for us to devote the majority of our time to Retained Searches because there is a guaranteed payback once we successfully identify "all star" candidates who meet or exceed the requirements of the position.
*Note: Our definition of "exclusive contingency" means other search firms will not be involved in the search. This arrangement does not prevent your company from utilizing other forms of recruitment (i.e. ads, job boards, etc.)
*Note: The exclusivity time period is normally 45 to 60 days.
SOURCES WE USE TO IDENTIFY THE BEST CANDIDATES:
Networking via our database of over 33,000 pharmaceutical which is continually updated;
Directories from most of the major pharmaceutical associations;
Resumes from over 10,000 pharmaceutical professionals;
Referrals from contacts we have established over the past twenty-five (25) plus years.
Networking through other online sources. *Note: We very seldom use job boards. Our goal is to attract the top talent in the pharmaceutical industry, and many of the best candidates are not proactive in their job search and must be contacted directly.
THE SEARCH PROCESS: A typical search conducted by S L Collins Associates, Inc. will be approached in the following manner (although these steps may vary depending on the desires of each client company):
Gathering information from company personnel which will help us better understand the organization's goals, culture, expectations, position requirements, compensation package, etc.
Developing a profile of the ideal candidate including but not limited to: education, type and years of experience, personality, management style, decision making ability, compensation, employment history and accomplishments;
Sourcing potential candidates;
Conducting telephone interviews and reference checks;
Presenting resumes, background information, and reference check information to the client company;
Arranging in-person and/or telephone interviews with candidates selected by the client company
Being actively involved in the offer presentation to the selected candidate including any necessary negotiations;
Following up with the selected candidate several times during the initial year of employment.
Geographic Locations: We do not concentrate on any one geographical area. Our search assignments are conducted for pharmaceutical clients throughout the United States. Some of the positions we recruit for require global expertise.
Fees: Our fee is based on a percentage of the candidate’s annual compensation. Please contact us, and we will be happy to provide sample fee agreements.
References: We will gladly provide references from client organizations upon request.
