The Search – Ag 1 Source will conduct an intensive search process that includes candidate and contact screening, testing, interviewing, and cultural fit analysis to ensure we are finding the most qualified candidates for your organization. Our candidates are highly interested in the position and are qualified to do the job. They are not a group of individuals that think they could be good at it .

5. Candidate preparation and presentation – We continue to work with the candidates to ensure they have done their research on your organization, are truly interested in the role, and are ready for the interview. If we feel that candidate interests or qualifications have changed since the opportunity was presented to them, we may discuss with you about pulling the candidate from consideration.
6. Client preparation and presentation – We help you prepare for each interview by providing you with the strengths, weaknesses, and background information of each candidate. You will be prepared to focus on target areas in the interview, and have the information you need to make an informed choice, and reel in the candidate.
