The Old North State process guarantees our absolute accountability. We’ll not only solve your problem, but we’ll find the best possible solution.
We create an extensive, customized plan for each search; this strategy enables us to identify, evaluate, attract, and secure the very best talent available in a timely manner.
Our process is divided into three stages; at each stage we focus on communication between the client and candidate. We continually prepare and debrief; we regularly qualify and adjust the course as needed. From start to finish, we are an integral partner in the full search and hiring process.
