Our Process

Search and Employ – The Bluespeed Process

At Bluespeed we use a segmented, “triple-filtered” process to ensure that the right person is placed into the right role with the right company.  Each step is managed by different Bluespeed Team Members to provide a synergized perspective and create the proper match.

The key stages of our search process are:

Evaluating the Role and Opportunity

We begin with an extensive evaluation of the client and the exact role he or she needs to fill.  Bluespeed works intimately with the client to arrive at a thorough understanding of the organization, its culture, and the specifications of the position to be filled.  We take great pride in our ability to not only match required skill sets, but also to locate the right cultural fit for organizations.  Bluespeed then prepares an Ideal Candidate Profile (ICP), based on all of the information that we have acquired.  The ICP can then be submitted in writing to the client team for approval.  It is imperative that we clearly understand and agree on the ICP before proceeding.

Researching

Once the ICP is finalized, the Bluespeed Team immediately launches an intensive research program.  We engage in extensive internet research and word-of-mouth networking where existing sources are contacted and new leads are vigorously pursued.

Candidate Screening

Bluespeed contacts prospective candidates and begins screening promising candidates.  Qualified and interested candidates are presented with full details about the client and the specific opportunity.  This ensures that all of the candidates submitted by Bluespeed are not only qualified, but are also interested and eager to pursue the position.  Only the most qualified candidates – both from a technical and cultural perspective – are formally presented to the client.  We then discuss each candidate with the client to determine which candidates to bring into the formal interview process.

Interviewing

Bluespeed is happy to assist in coordinating each interview for the client.  We also debrief with both the client and candidate within 48 hours of every interview to garner impressions and determine subsequent steps.  Information is shared with both parties as the interview process continues.  If, for some reason, either the client or candidate wishes to discontinue the process, we professionally convey this, so there are no “hurt feelings.”

Culminating

Bluespeed deftly addresses all issues for both the client and candidate, making absolutely sure of a correct match for both sides.  We delicately act as an impartial third party, negotiating potentially uncomfortable discussions and creating a “win-win” situation for both parties.

Reference checking

Bluespeed will perform all reference checks on the client’s behalf.  We have a standard questionnaire that we can customize to suit each client’s desires.

Following up

When it’s over, it’s not over.  Bluespeed diligently follows up with placed candidates and hiring managers to ensure that the on-boarding process is smooth and that any potential issues are addressed early and are successfully rectified.
