Our Process

Any successful candidate will possess the needed knowledge, skills, and experience for the job, but these are only a start. At Torch Group, we know that the right candidate must also have the soft skills and values that fit with your unique corporate environment. That’s why we created our proven system, the eight-step Signature Search Process™:

  • Client intake and discovery
  • Custom search strategy
  • Passive candidate research
  • Candidate calibration review
  • Direct sourcing and recruiting
  • Candidate evaluations and presentations
  • References and offer
  • Post-hire check-ins

Starting with 150 identified strong candidates, we eliminate possibilities as we work through each step. At the end of our process, you will be presented with just 2 to 3 fully vetted finalists. In addition to a resume, you will receive a complete written interview report on each candidate, with our thoughts on that candidate’s career potential, strengths, developmental needs, and potential fit with your company.
