Recruitment Process
DM Lyons Consulting, we put your hiring needs first. Our team of Project Managers are
skilled in finding you the right candidate for your next role. In order to get the best from this
experience, we work closely together with your Management and Hiring team to ensure the
process is done quickly and positively. Below is an outline process of our recruitment method.
1. Identify Your Hiring Needs. To ensure that we find you the perfect candidate, we
need to know more about your company and the role you need to fill. You will provide a
job description for the role before our first intake call, this helps us prepare our questions
and ensure we have the right team member working with you. We will schedule an
intake call with our team to learn more about:
a. Your company.
b. How the candidate will fit into your organization.
c. What will the candidate’s responsibilities be?
d. Who will the candidate report to?
e. What level of experience do you need (ie, entry level, Management, Executive)?
f. What personality fit would best suit your needs and the team?
g. What is the budget for this position?
h. What is the career path for this position, what would be a next step for this role
i. What challenges are you facing when finding talent for this role (ie, experience
level, salary, location, etc)?
j. If there are any subsidiary companies that you are affiliated with that we should
not approach talent from?
2. Candidate Search. Once we have our parameters, we’re off to search! Our team likes
to source fresh candidates with each search, to ensure each candidate we present is
interested in moving to a new role. This search is primarily done through personal
contacts, social media, and LinkedIn. We only share the name of the company once
we’ve made contact with the candidate, to ensure you are not overwhelmed with
candidates applying to you directly.
3. Screening. We schedule interviews with each candidate to discuss their background
and present your company to see if they would be a good fit for the role. We have an
honest conversation about the role and the salary being offered to ensure the candidate
is the right fit to move forward. This is where the information from our intake call is of
vital importance; the more we know about your company and culture allows us to better
present the opportunity to the candidate. We are enthusiastic about each role and love
to have candidates excited when they move forward to meet with you!
4. Present Possible Candidates. Our team narrows down the search for you, only
presenting quality candidates for your review. You can choose if you would like them
presented all at once, or as we find them. If you are interested in moving forward with
an interview, we will coordinate both schedules and arrange a meeting time. If a
candidate doesn’t seem to have what you are looking for, we appreciate any feedback
you can provide to help narrow the search and move forward. Communication is key!
We will be in constant communication with you to update on the progress of our search.
5. Interview Candidates. You will have an opportunity to meet with the candidates with
your own team. We find most companies prefer virtual interviews for the first round,
however we are happy to schedule in person meetings based on your preference.
6. Return To Search As Needed. Our team continues our search until the employment
contract has been signed. We take all of your feedback to continuously hone our search
to find exactly what you are looking for. We will continue to meet with candidates and
search until we know that your needs have been met and that you have hired your
perfect candidate. Your feedback is essential to our search, we apply all of your notes
as we continue looking for quality candidates.
7. Provide Reference Checks. We are happy to complete a reference check for the
candidate once you are in a position to extend an offer. If you have a specific question
for the references, please let us know and we would be happy to include.
8. Assist With Contract Proposal and Signing. We are always happy to present a
candidate with their new offer, and can walk them through any questions they may have
before signing.
9. Communication. Congratulations on your new hire! We will continue to be in touch.
We like to check in with your hiring team to make sure your candidate is doing well in
their new role. We also keep in touch with the candidate frequently in their first 3 months
to ensure they are enjoying their position and have everything they need to succeed in
their new role.
