• Identification: Based on your needs and our research, SnapDragon will identify the best potential candidates for the search. Technical ability is only one part of what makes a great employee. We identify and evaluate candidates extensively, identifying the needed skill sets and experience in great detail. Great care is taken to ensure that we know what type of team player or leader each candidate represents.

• Interview: Our detailed interviewing process allows SnapDragon to evaluate the talent in the marketplace and match that talent to your needs. We realize that the candidate "fit" is more than simply matching job specifications to a resume. We assess the cultural fit between company and candidate, as well as long-term compatibility. Our goal is to provide long-term valuable employees that will contribute to your company immediately and into the future.

• Introduction: Upon completion of our identification and evaluation process, we provide a detailed summary of the most qualified candidates to you. We review all client requirements and the type of culture with candidates, making sure the candidate understands the client organization, its’ needs, goals and opportunities. At this point the candidate will know who you are, what the job entails, including what is needed to be successful, job location, and the salary range. Before we set up the interview the candidate will have indicated a willingness to accept your position if, after interviewing, is offered. This is done to help ensure your time is not wasted on anyone who is not ready, willing or able to take the job if offered.





• Reference Checks: This step in the hiring process can be critical and can mean the difference between hiring a superstar or acquiring a headache. SnapDragon will conduct a thorough, detailed reference check on each candidate including: co-workers, direct reports and managers. We detail the reference checks to include a standard list of questions and also allow each respondent the opportunity to give their insight on the candidate. Each reference includes contact information for the client’s follow up.

• Offer Negotiation: SnapDragon recruiters manage the candidate’s expectations, communicating with the clients and candidates, and as a result, will deliver above industry average placement rates and acceptances. By the time the decision is made to make an offer, our methodology assures an acceptance rate well above the industry average.

• Transition: After an offer is accepted, SnapDragon works to ensure a smooth transition to your company. This includes the candidates’ resignation, notice and start date with the client. Our team follows up to assist the candidate in what is often a stressful period between positions. Because of our work, we have a higher than average success rate in placing the Right People in the Right Jobs.
