Our Recruiting Methodology

As ambassadors of your company, we pledge to represent you in the same manner as you would

represent yourselves. Our exclusive searches remove surprises from the recruiting process.

Candidates are not represented for any other opportunity; they are exclusively, confidentially

contacted on your behalf.

Company and Position Analysis

We are committed to understanding your business philosophy, priorities and

culture. Taking the time to understand your business allows us to only send truly

qualified candidates your way. We partner with you to create a detailed template

for identifying and recruiting the ideal candidate.

Search Strategy

A successful search requires a targeted approach. Paragon has extensive networks

of contacts within the energy sector, as well as numerous methods for sourcing

candidates for a given role. Clients are provided weekly updates of the progress of

the search.

Candidate Screening and Selection

Paragon carefully screens each possible candidate for the desired qualifications,

their record of performance and their match with the culture and mission of your

organization. In addition, we also verify a candidate’s education with the

university s/he attended. We will present a group of exceptional candidates who

have been chosen for their ability to excel.

Interview Process

Paragon carefully prepares both the candidate and the client for any interview.

This ensures that there is a full understanding on both sides. We conduct post-

interview debriefs to determine interest and to adjust our strategy, if required.

Final Selection and Offers

Paragon has extensive experience in negotiating offers and reinforcing a candidate

in their decision to join your firm. Our in-depth understanding of both sides allows

us to be a neutral bridge to a successful hire. After all, we do this as a normal part

of our business every day.

Follow Up

Paragon is committed to a successful hire. We continue to stay in contact with all

parties during the transition period to address any possible concerns. Our value

as your recruiting partner is confirmed not only on successful offer and acceptance,

but in that employee’s performance, day to day, year to year.
