Listening is the first step toward identifying the right candidate for a specific position. Accurately assessing your specific requirements is paramount to finding the right person. This includes:

• Becoming familiar with your business
• Knowing the industry
• Getting a feel for the corporate culture
• Appreciating the subtleties of a particular position

Clarity identifies potential candidates in a variety of ways:

• Candidate Referrals
• Client Referrals
• Online Resources (e.g. Monsterboard, Hotjobs, etc.)
• The New York Times Classified Ads
• Networking organizations and events

To find the right candidates, we employ a variety of screening techniques:

• Initial screening to ensure that the candidate is up to Clarity's standards
• Each candidate is thoroughly tested for proficiency with leading industry software
• A comprehensive interview with at least two of Clarity's counselors
• We request three references from each candidate.

Once the appropriate candidates have been selected, we work collaboratively with our clients to ensure that each candidate will be a good cultural fit and can perform in the specific environment of a given position.

This step in the process transcends the usual assessment of a candidate by identifying the soft skills that will allow this person to excel in a specific environment. Can this candidate handle the pressure of a trading floor? Does he have the executive presence necessary to support a Fortune 500 CEO? Can she acclimate to the creative culture of an advertising agency? This is the Clarity Difference.
