charge of the project. These extended personal interviews typically take one hour and a thorough discussion of their experience, accomplishments, management philosophy and interpersonal style takes place. In interviewing candidates, we utilize a methodology based on "behavioral" interview techniques. Fundamentally, this approach explores a candidate's past accomplishments and experiences. The philosophy here is that the best indicator of future performance is assessing past behavior. This methodology allows the firm to "project" how a candidate would approach and address challenges in the new position. Those individuals who best fit the position requirements will have a Candidate Assessment Report developed by the Principal who conducted the interview. Additionally, two initial reference interviews are performed on these candidates. The reference interviews provide our clients with additional insights on the candidate's "behavior" and style. With regards to "internal" candidates, we typically provide them a greater level of consideration than external applicants. In cases where they meet minimum qualifications for a position, we will provide them the courtesy of a formal interview with the firm. IV. Candidate Presentation Upon completion of formal interviews and initial reference interviews, a selection of candidates for presentation is made. Typically, the number of final candidates requested by our clients range from five to seven. We feel our extensive screening, interview, and reference process; combined with the knowledge gained during our initial assessment period, enable our client to proceed with fewer rather than more finalists. The final candidates are presented in our candidate presentation "book." Each finalist will have a file consisting of a candidate summary sheet, a resume, the Candidate Assessment Report (based on the formal interview), and candidate two reference interviews. Candidate summary everyone for one who submitted a resume will also be included. ry This provides the client with insight to the nature of response for their position. V. Selection Process Once the final candidate interview group is identified, we will assist in the structuring of the interview process and coordinate the interview scheduling activity. Our firm will also provide candidates with guidance related to travel planning, hotel accommodations, as well as other interview planning issues.
