Retained and engaged
search. Run personally.
WineTalent recruits professional, leadership and executive talent for wineries and wine industry companies. Every search is run personally by the recruiter you meet on day one.
SEARCH PROCESS
Eight steps from first conversation to lasting placement.
Each search is run separately and personally, with close attention to the needs of the client and continuous involvement after the offer is accepted.
01
Initial contact
You present the hiring need. WineTalent clarifies the requirements and defines the profile of the ideal candidate.
02
Market mapping
We map the market and approach passive candidates directly, alongside Amy’s network and candidate pool. New applicants are screened and reference checked.
03
Candidate identification
Several suitable candidates are interviewed and their references verified before anyone is presented.
04
Presentation
A short, qualified slate is presented with résumés, interview notes and references, rather than a stack of résumés.
05
Interview facilitation
WineTalent coordinates scheduling between the employer and each candidate.
06
Compensation and negotiation
Market benchmarking and neutral negotiation support help both sides reach an agreement.
07
Onboarding
Start dates are confirmed, with assistance for relocation and employment verification.
08
Ongoing support
The relationship continues after placement, because placements are made to last.
