1. ECA / Client Scoping Call
Led by an ECA Director, we use these sessions to gather your requirements and get an in-depth understanding of the details around desired outcomes, timing, and ideal candidate backgrounds.
2. Talent Matching < 24 hours
In this phase we reach out to candidates in our VIP network. We’ll pre-screen each candidate to verify availability and discuss engagement details. Candidates are then presented to client.
3. Candidate Onboarding
An Engagement Kick Off / Planning session is held with the client, candidate and ECA. We perform weekly check-ins and maintain contact throughout the duration of the assignment, ensuring success.
