Distinctive Features of the Clark Executive Search Methodology

3. Clark Executive Search conducts ‘fresh’, original and targeted research for each assignment it undertakes.

• The research stage begins with the Clark Executive Search extensive database of global industry contacts collected through 15 years of networking with life science executives.
• In addition to networking with contacts already in the database additional contacts are discovered through in house research utilizing the internet and the examination of publications.

4. Clark Executive Search communicates frequently with clients:

• We submit periodic written progress reports.
• We provide spreadsheets of all search activities which are extracted from our database. These include a contact’s first name (for confidentiality purposes), title, current company, interest level or comments on the position. This information assures the client that we are targeting the right people and competitors for the search.
• For each candidate presented, Clark Executive Search provides an in-depth written assessment that includes each candidate’s curriculum vitae, results of all screening interviews, the candidate’s strengths and weakness and personal background.

5. Clark Executive Search  assists clients with all aspects of the search:

• We will arrange client phone and onsite interviews with the candidate. After each interview, a written assessment of the candidate’s interest level is provided to the client.
• As the search narrows, we conduct reference checks. These include the standard “three” provided by the candidate as well as information about the candidate gathered from confidential sources well known to Clark Executive Search. Clark Executive Search reports the positives as well as the negatives revealed by references.
• Clark Executive Search assists with final offer negotiations and relocation issues at whatever level the client requests.
• After a successful candidate is placed, we continually monitor the candidate’s adjustment and happiness with the client.  If relocation was involved, then we report on any personal and/or family adjustment issues.
