Recruiting GPS Strategy

1

Client Interview

Gathering search requirements sounds simple enough, but facts are easy. The real art is the gut and feel of the hiring leaders and the company’s unique cultural environment. This directly influences the pooled selection of executives to attract.

2

Messaging

How, what and in what manner the messaging is crafted and delivered to the market can make or break a successful search. Consistent messaging that aligns with the company’s public presence and interaction with the SLT builds trust and branding. It is imperative.

3

GPS Sourcing

What is GPS Sourcing? It is Infinera’s success formula to locate, canvas and communicate effectively with potential hires within a specific time frame, consistently. By using multiple communication streams in parallel, it gives confidence we are reaching the right people.

4

Candidate Relationship Building

The difference between great recruiting firms and good is the ability to build trust quickly with individuals. How do you do this? Easily.. work ethically, honestly and with utmost transparency.

5

Digging Deep

Leaving a role for a new adventure is no small decision for someone. It literally affects everything in their life-commute, money, family, people interactions, their future, Everything. Understanding what makes people tick and their priorities in their life have to be met by the new role to be successful long term.

6

Coordination

Often times we experience the internal recruiting team desiring to take over the coordination and communication with potential hires. Although we appreciate the team effort and their talents, streamlining communication through one party creates consistency and eliminates confusion. Equally important, it is another opportunity to have a touch point to get crucial updates on competitive interests and continuing to build a trusting dialogue.

7

Preps & Debrief

Detailed interview prepping and debriefing are probably the most critical step in the process. During these conversations, interest, concerns, re-alignment of priorities and financial discussions take place. This is where the deal comes together!

8

Negotiations

Our negotiating technique is bit out of the norm-in a good way! We "pre-negotiate" on the candidate's behalf and set compensation expectations before the interview process begins. We don't leave this critical step to chance and hope we can bridge the gap at the end.

Placement

Success!
