At Face-2-Face Talent Solutions, we work as a true extension of your recruitment team, structured for speed, precision, and partnership. We're a small agency with the kind of streamlined operation the big players simply can't implement or manage. If you've felt like your openings have been getting lost in the shuffle, our nimble, super responsive team will be a true breath of fresh air.
Step 1: Understanding Your Recruitment Challenges
We take the time to deeply understand your current recruitment pain points, business needs, hiring goals, and internal processes. Together, we determine which search model - Contingency, Retained or RPO - best matches your urgency, budget, and the market availability of relevant talent. Once aligned, we formalize the partnership with a written agreement and immediately line up the right research, recruitment, marketing, and operational resources to support your hiring needs.
Step 2: Deep Discovery and Positioning
We perform a comprehensive discovery process to fully understand your organization:
- Your company’s history, culture, and structure
- Your employer value proposition and competitive positioning
- Your hiring plan and talent priorities
- Specific technical and soft skill requirements for each open role
Our marketing team then crafts compelling outreach campaigns customized to your brand and roles, ensuring your opportunities stand out to passive and active candidates alike across email, phone, and social media channels.
Step 3: High-Impact Candidate Sourcing and Outreach
Our research team immediately begins sourcing candidates using advanced tools and strategies, from analyzing patent filings, conference attendee lists, and professional publications, to leveraging our proprietary network of over 800,000 technical professionals. Each identified candidate is added to our Applicant Tracking System (ATS), where recruiters and our QA team collaborate to calibrate the candidate pool with client feedback. We drive high-volume, high-quality candidate flow through a coordinated, multi-channel approach:
- Personalized phone calls to personal and work numbers
- Direct outreach via targeted email campaigns and LinkedIn/social media messaging
- Real-time sourcing feedback loops to adjust search parameters when needed
This system ensures sustained candidate engagement and enables us to break through the noise in today’s competitive hiring landscape.
Step 4: Candidate Screening, Alignment, and Submission
We rigorously screen candidates by phone to ensure strong alignment with your technical requirements and culture, as well as with their compensation expectations, relocation needs, and long-term career goals. Candidates who pass our screening and interview process are submitted directly to your preferred stakeholders, whether that’s an internal recruiter or hiring manager. If granted access, we can also work directly with your ATS to streamline handoffs and ensure seamless collaboration.
We tailor our support model based on your preferences. Some clients prefer to manage candidates directly after submission. Others want us to stay engaged through final offer acceptance and onboarding. We adapt to your needs — ensuring clarity around roles, responsibilities, and handoffs.
Step 5: Keeping the Process on Track
Consistent communication is critical. We work hard to avoid surprises by keeping both clients and candidates fully informed at every stage. Our recruiters monitor candidate progress, flag any risks early, and act as a bridge between you and the talent you want to attract. Post-hire, we stay connected with candidates during onboarding and as they settle in to ensure a smooth transition and address any challenges that may negatively impact their performance.
Step 6: Beyond Search - True Talent Acquisition Partnership
We don’t just fill jobs, we help you build a more robust and streamlined hiring engine. Throughout the partnership, we offer insights and support to help optimize your recruitment operations, improve the candidate experience, and resolve hiring team alignment issues that could be slowing down success.
Our goal is to become a trusted advisor, not just for your next hire, but for your long-term growth.
