5.      Evaluation

Our detailed interviewing process allows The Vantage Group to evaluate the talent in the marketplace and match that talent to your needs.

We make assessments about the cultural fit between company and candidate as well as long-term compatibility. The Vantage Group looks to provide long-term fits and matches that can contribute to your company now and into the future.

6.      Presentation

Only qualified candidates are presented to the client. We review client requirements and culture with candidates, making sure the candidate understands the client organization, its needs, goals and opportunity therein. The Vantage Group works closely with client and candidate to make sure there is a “fit” on many different levels.
