We chose always to take the “high road”: it is best to do the right thing, to be generous, to take the long-term view of things.
SEARCH
Once a job description and responsibilities of the position have been outlined, we begin searching our extensive database of recent candidates. We also remain in touch with non-active job-seekers, a majority of whom are not actively pursuing a career change and are not on the radar, but request they are kept abreast of potential opportunities in the market and in their field. These are the diamonds in the rough we have maintained contact with over the years that are open to select new opportunities. Our non-traditional search models help reveal hidden talent, allowing our clients to grow the team they need
We think strategically to identify the hidden talent our clients need
We engage and assess these well-qualified individuals with expertise, passion, and tenacity.

Our business model of Purpose-Driven Recruitment works in a very differentiated manner. At ValueOptim, we operate differently than other staffing and recruiting firms you may have spoken with in the past – and our focus is on finding the right alignment for the candidate and client alike.
EVALUATION
Every role we hire goes through a very thoughtful creation of a hiring and evaluation strategy. Once details of the position have been explained to the candidate and their career objectives have been covered, our experienced recruiting team assesses potential candidates initially through phone interviews by asking questions and gathering information.
As the candidate progresses through the process, they are invited for an in-person interview via Video Conferencing. Depending on the role requirement, we evaluate the candidates based on basic fit, role requirements, psychometric testing, language testing, real-work testing, reference checks, and rigorous interviews. Once the candidates have cleared all the steps in our hiring method they are presented to the client for final interviews.
SUBMISSION
If the candidate profile and your expectations match, we connect you with them for further qualification. A detailed background analysis review of the candidate is provided with each submission, which allows you to make an educated assessment of which candidates to move forward with.
Additional information may be provided depending on the nature of the position such as criminal record search, drug testing, educational verification, and as well as any of your own testing procedures such as personality assessments you may wish to incorporate into the process.
