RETAINED SEARCH PARTNER
KEY WORD: PARTNER

To attract top Lean talent, you need more than just a detailed job posting—you need a partner who can tell your company’s story. That’s where we come in. As your retained talent acquisition partner, we’ll get to know your organization and it’s needs through-and-through before embarking on a search. By better understanding your company’s history, culture, and current Lean journey, we’re able to paint a clearer, more desirable picture—attracting better candidates—getting you the Lean talent you need to transform your business for good.

ORGANIZATION & TALENT
PERFECTLY ALIGNED

To build a high-performance culture, your organization’s strategy, and the talent responsible with executing on it, need to be perfectly aligned. To accomplish this, we offer two solutions—effective separately but, when used together, will truly accelerate your Lean transformation.

  1. Organization and Talent Readiness (OTR): We’ll assess organizational structure, engagement levels, workforce competency & capabilities, and more. This helps you align your organization with its Lean strategy and identify where there may be critical talent gaps.
  2. Talent Acquisition & Integration: With knowledge of your business needs in-hand, we use our Lean expertise to source, qualify, and integrate the right people, with the right skills, in the right positions—faster.

Lean Technical Interviews: How we do it

When you partner with Lean Focus, you get the peace of mind of knowing that a Lean expert is evaluating your candidates using a proven, 3–phase process that other talent recruiters can’t offer because they don’t have the knowledge or expertise to do so. This process goes through finding your company’s exact needs, evaluating candidates for Lean technical proficiency, and delivering a final recommendation after giving each candidate a Lean technical score card.
