  • Ideal Candidate Survey: We help you gain valuable insights from key stakeholders using our customized online survey,
  • Candidate Screening: Our screening process is multi-tiered, saving you time and ensuring you get only the best-fit candidates.

CapDev Sourcing (CDS)

Do you want to take on a more active role in the selection process and save on costs? With CapDev Sourcing services, you can be more deeply engaged in making finalist selections without the burden of conducting the preliminary search. CDS also saves you money over a traditional retained search and offers reduced costs for multiple concurrent searches. Here’s how CDS works:

  • Market Strategy: We help you refine your position announcement and job description language
  • Sourcing: We place customized position postings in the marketplace and deliver customized mass emails to defined target market
  • Screening: We receive, process and review all resumes. We then conduct initial video screening of qualified candidates.
  • Candidate Dashboard Delivery: We deliver a dashboard packet of all qualified candidates with resumes

After the Candidate Dashboard Delivery, you take it from there to conduct interviews and make your hire.
