DGA Executive Search Process
We employ a detailed nine stage recruiting process for retained executive searches.
Stage 2: Build the Candidate Pool
-
During this stage we use several tactics to identify and recruit quality candidates, including:
- Consulting with industry leaders and other referral sources within our broad network.
- Tapping our own network of prospective candidates, acquired from our long-standing and active involvement in the insurance industry.
- Sourcing and alerting prospects from our expansive national database;
- Using social networking tools such as LinkedIn and InsuranceWorks; as well as identifying professional organizations associated with target candidates and utilizing appropriate recruiting tactics.
- Direct sourcing of high potential candidates matching Selection Committee criteria.
- Advertising on communication channels appropriate to target candidates.
Once a target list of candidates is created, we initiate the recruiting segment of the search, and through each direct recruiting call we assess the candidate’s skill set and personality. A typical search includes identifying all relevant potential candidates, interviewing those with all or most of the required skills, and developing a final select slate of top candidates.
