"My most trusted recruiting partner for well over a decade."

I have been partnering with Alissa Henriksen as my most trusted recruiting partner for well over a decade. What sets Grey Search + Strategy apart from the many other recruiters I’ve worked with is their intense focus on the client relationship. Their team works diligently to understand our business and our culture to match the best possible candidates to our needs and deliver optimum results.

"I recommend them without hesitation!"

If you are looking for difficult-to-find talent to join your team, I encourage you to partner with Grey Search & Strategy. When we were faced with an immediate opening in a critical finance role, Grey came onsite right away to interview us and learn about our company, our values, and our needs. They quickly got to know what we wanted in a candidate, from technical competency to intangible soft skills. I enjoyed my frequent interactions with Erika, Alissa and Lucas, and their world-class feedback process helped us know how the search was going, what opportunities were coming our way, and any challenges they were experiencing. They are skilled at what they do, but what sets them apart is how they do it. I recommend Grey Search & Strategy without hesitation.

"Our Trusted Partner"

Our partnership with the team at Grey Search + Strategy began with them working diligently to understand our business and our culture. This is absolutely critical to finding quality candidates for our roles. They work as a team and proactively communicate throughout the search process from the first phone call to successful onboarding. Grey Search + Strategy has been our trusted partner in the most difficult labor market in history.

our recruiting process

1.
Research + Discovery

Our process begins with digging deeply into your company DNA–your mission, culture, goals, team dynamics, operation and pain points. We do what it takes to establish an employee-level understanding of what makes you unique, including touring your facilities, ride-alongs with sales reps, sitting in on meetings and more.

2.
Strategy Development

You’re not a one-size-fits-all company. So we take the crucial, core elements of your company learned in Discovery and customize a set of strategic search criteria that delivers candidates better qualified for your positions and better suited to your culture.

3.
Customized Assessment

Grey employs a multitude of best-in-class assessment tools to identify team and human capital talent gaps, strengths and individual needs to create stronger, more effective leaders and teams, including P60 personality assessments, engagement surveys, sales assessments and experience questionnaires.

4.
Selection Alignment

To find a longer-lasting alignment between the candidate and your company, we’ll review the job profile with you and assess the pros and cons of each candidate against not just the functional aspects of the job, but how suited they are to your organization’s culture and values.

5.
Support + Feedback

The groundwork we’ve laid to deeply understand the job, the client and the candidate helps us provide a smoother transition and more effective cultural integration for our candidates. We establish 30-, 60- and 90-day check-ins to help solidify their fit in their new role and provide a feedback loop to ensure long-term success.
