Our Commitment

At CPN, we respond to the trust our clients place in us with honesty and integrity. We have made a commitment to provide great service. We understand our clients’ needs, their challenges and the industry trends. Most importantly, we will take the time to get to know their specific requirements, as well as their business goals and corporate culture. Only then will we proceed with making a match.

 

Our Process

Career Placement Network, LLC brings an aggressive approach to the often-passive process of filling open job requirements. We view ourselves as extensions of your organization. We are committed to developing a thorough understanding of your company, its culture and the specific work environment for each assignment to insure to the best of our abilities that the hires we are involved in will bring forth employees that will achieve their objectives.

Position Analysis

In the position analysis we build a comprehensive understanding of functional responsibilities, goals and specific skill requirements. Our approach identifies problems to be solved in the position to be incorporated into the job description. This analysis enables us to determine the competencies/knowledge base that potential candidates will need to have in their portfolio in order to be qualified for the position.

Strategic Analysis

The second step in building the foundation involves determining the strategic mission: Where your company is going and how you want it to look when you get there; what changes need to occur to accomplish the goals and most significantly, what kind of people are required to get you there. A clear road map is critical to achieving success in the recruiting process. The employee selection process can serve to facilitate and aggressively drive the strategic change process. In effect, selection of the right people can accelerate the desired changes, enabling achievement of the mission more efficiently and more timely.

Cultural Analysis

The third phase of building a solid foundation involves a cultural analysis of the company and the individual department involved. At this stage we are attempting to identify the philosophical, operational and organizational characteristics that make the company/department unique. We address the values, beliefs, traits and behaviors that characterize the business and high performing personnel within the determined work environment. This phase is often the most critical in making a good fit between candidate and company.

As a result of doing a Position Analysis of the work to be performed, a Strategic Analysis of how the job fits strategically into your company and a Cultural Analysis of the type of culture and style most desired we can then draw a clear picture of the candidate that you desire.

Identifying the universe of potential candidates

Once a clear picture has emerged of exactly the type of individual you are looking to hire, we plan a focused recruitment program that identifies the most successful individuals presently working for your competition and former high achievers from those competitors.

The Recruiting Phase–Interviewing and Selection

As we begin the interview phase of the project we have the ability to measure the candidate’s knowledge, his ability to apply that knowledge, along with his motivation to apply his knowledge. The interview can now be directed towards identifying the specific skills and cultural characteristics that will be needed to be successful.

Interviews can be designed around identifying the candidate’s historical behavior patterns. We believe that determining historical behavior, or "the reasons why," will greatly aid your evaluation of a candidate’s ability to succeed in your environment.

Offer and Acceptance

The offering phase is often the most delicate. We assist the candidate in his resignation strategy, when you make an offer to a high achiever from your competition there is a good chance that they will counter offer.
