The Felix Global Search™ process:


We Begin in Partnership - In advance of engagement, we invest heavily at the front end to listen, learn and really understand our clients' business model and processes, infrastructure, key business drivers, competitive strengths, unique culture, priorities, strategies and goals - all with a view to targeting the best fit for strategic alignment.

Gaining these critical insights before the search begins enables us to determine the right information channels to harvest the best candidates.


Mapping Future Success - Before we begin the search, we partner with our clients to create the profile and competency model of the ideal candidate using any one of a number of Felix's proprietary psychometric tools.

Then we begin the search. First we map the most likely target organizations. Then we populate these organizations with highest potential benchmark candidates.

Next, we contact the targeted candidates, filtering for interest and compatibility, a process that will help both parties - the candidate and our client - make sound decisions about moving forward.


The Art and Science of Assessment - Candidate assessment involves the art of face-to-face interviewing, a technique that requires good old-fashioned intuition, savvy and critical judgment. To this process we add the science of Felix's proprietary psychometric assessment tools which validate our professional assumptions, providing a better understanding of each candidate's strengths, competencies, behaviours and attributes that best align with an organization's specific culture and requirements.

One of our key competitive strengths lies in the combined power of our robust technology and our proven consulting expertise.


Ongoing Support - Felix is an innovator of "on boarding" techniques that kick into gear on the new hire's first day and continue throughout the critical first one hundred days. This process enhances the integration of the new hire into the environment, optimizing impact and productivity. Information is also shared with the manager to permit him /her to motivate and lead the candidate most effectively throughout this period.
