Our Search Process.
We are an HR executive search firm with a combined 40 years of experience providing our clients with high caliber HR leaders.
Engage
We have an introductory engagement meeting to assess your current search, your business and your culture. This is followed by an in-depth conversation about what makes your business, and this search, different. What are the critical nuances that are important for us to understand? Together we will determine which search model is best for you. We will also help you formulate a job description that aligns well with your open search.
Go To Market
Our team will research companies in your geographical area and identify potential candidates for your search. We search for prospects that are working for your competitors and within your vertical. We’ll provide you with a research list of companies that we’re targeting for your search.
Relationship
At Maxwell, we start by developing relationships with new prospects. We present your search to prospects and determine who are the best matches.
Client Interviews
Time to start discussing prospects with you and set up interviews. We will gather feedback on interviews to gauge how well we are aligned on the search.
Execution On The Search
Finally, we move towards completion of the search. We will check references, help manage the negotiation and offer process. Communication is also maintained post search.
Advisory
We will advise and educate our clients on market trends and overall “candidate experience.” If needed, we can help you with your HR organizational structure and help you determine which HR model will best suit your organization.
Our Search Models.
Over the years, we’ve found these two search models to be the most successful in delivering to our clients.
Retained Search
Our Retained Search model is a way for us to exclusively manage and execute the search for you on retainer. This model is a more in-depth and strategic process where we will provide you weekly updates. This model also provides a longer guarantee.
Exclusive Contingency Search
An exclusive model with an engagement fee where your fee is paid at the completion of the search.
Why Work With Us?
The comments below are just a sample of some of our satisfied clients
who transformed their business with Maxwell Solutions HR.
“Andy and his team are true professionals who have a deep expertise in HR search. He was able to give me a complete view of the market, and point me to candidates who were appropriate for my company’s culture and team. Ultimately his advice and coaching led to a great hire. Andy is a true partner, expert in the field and is the first person I would call for HR search.”
“I worked with Andy over several years as I contemplated the next step in my career. During that time, I interviewed for a few roles and passed on some that he presented. What sets him apart from others that I have worked with is that he is truly invested in making the right match for his clients and his candidates. He never pressured me, his transparency and candor refreshing. I am thrilled with the role he placed me in and unlike many recruiters who place you and then cross their fingers through the guarantee period, Andy has followed up with me and my new company religiously to ensure that we were mutually satisfied. His professionalism and desire to do right by all, truly sets him apart.”
“In an industry like executive search, it’s rare to find a true partner that
understands your business and has a high level of integrity – that’s Andy
Liberatos and Maxwell Solutions. To bring it to a very basic level –
recruiting and executive search is all about cost effective results. When
you get a set of profiles from Andy, you know they have been screened and
selected precisely based on your technical requirements. But what really
makes Andy’s services extra special is that he has a deep understanding of
the culture requirements of the position, because he has built a
relationship with you and your company. For me this is most important.
My experience with working with Andy at FreshDirect, Zeta Interactive and
now at Big Fuel has been extremely successful and I have no doubt that I
will continue to use Andy in the future. He is and will always be an
invaluable part of my executive search strategy. “
