Resources

Over the past 30 years, Charles Aris has built an organization with the resources necessary to solve the most challenging staffing needs. The resources that set us apart include:

• Our process. The Charles Aris Priority Search is the most advanced and thorough recruiting process in the industry. What does that mean for you? It’s fourteen steps that ensure that we don’t take any short-cuts in identifying, qualifying and attracting the talent that will take your company to the next level.
• Our size. With twenty plus staff members, we’re considerably larger than the average recruiting firm. Our size allows us to allocate additional staff to urgent projects as needed. In addition, with so much recruiting taking place every year (we’ve filled over 500 positions during the past three years alone) we’re constantly leveraging our size by sharing our experiences and best practices with our clients.
• Dedicated Knowledge Management department. We’ve learned that up front planning is one of the keys to a successful and streamlined search, which is why every one of our projects starts with our Knowledge Management department. Our Knowledge Management team has an extensive portfolio of research tools that allow us to “jump start” each of our searches.
  
  
• Personality profiling tools. Charles Aris uses the SelecSys system to match the behavioral traits of the candidate to the core competencies of the position. The SelecSys system is an included service with our Priority Search Agreements. The hiring authority at your company completes a short online questionnaire that identifies the core competencies of the position. Candidates then complete an online profile, and the SelecSys process evaluates the candidate along five dimensions: extroversion, dominance, patience, conformity and conscientiousness. These traits are then matched to the required competencies of the position, resulting in a quantitative assessment of a candidate’s fit with the job.

• Videoconferencing capabilities. Traveling to see candidates can be one of the most expensive components of a search, which is why we’ve invested in a video-conferencing system that works in conjunction with over 400 locations in the United States and internationally.
• Background research services. Depending on the needs of the client, Charles Aris can complete thorough background checks on any candidate, from confirming education to work experience and everything in-between.
• Relocation services. Relocating an employee can be an extremely stressful undertaking. That’s why we’ve partnered with a national relocation service that helps to ease the burden. Our relocation partner provides cost of living analysis, home finding assistance, mortgage services and significant savings on moving and travel costs.
