All Fenix Services revolve around one objective and one objective only: making sure that the right talent is in the right place in your organization at the right time. We ensure this takes place whether it is from assessments of current staff or sourcing or through placement of external candidates.

Recruiting:

The industry has developed a number of ‘Corporate' phrases describing this activity over the years as if to make it seem more magical. Executive Search is a common one; Management Development Services is another. We recruit! We recruit at all senior levels in an organization and we do it really, really well!
We offer two types of recruiting:

SKILL & BEHAVIORAL RECRUITING		SKILL RECRUITING

Using our copyrighted Skill & Behavioral modeling techniques* we can: • Develop highly accurate models for individual positions in the company identifying the 12 most important behaviors required for success. • Develop a highly accurate skill and behavioral profile required for each position that the leadership team all agree on. • Develop new comprehensive Job Descriptions incorporating the above to act as the benchmark for hiring and promotion. • Synchronize individual core values, skills and behaviors to those required by the company to ensure a far better team fit than generally occurs when judging promotion or recruitment based on technical skills alone.		For all our skill recruiting we follow a very specific and successful format: • Fully understand the job requirements and the required profile of the candidates. • Quantify the required success factors for the job over the first 18 months. • Develop a ‘search’ strategy for each job. • Search! ( and we don’t simply raid an-house database of resumes – we approach each and every job individually based on its specific requirements) • Filter and qualify each potential candidate to meet the required profile of the job. • Submit only a few, high qualified individuals for consideration.

Management Assessment: Because management positions are more complex in nature, the assessment of candidates for those positions involves more complex measures and interpretations. The intellectual demands on those in management roles are higher level in nature, involve greater foresight, contingency planning and decision-making with greater unknowns than non-management roles. In addition, the interpersonal demands on those in management roles are greater as well. Managers are expected to influence a wide variety of people using methods that often need to change depending on the target group and the issue under discussion. As a result, managers need to be able to sell ideas effectively, but also be able to use formal authority to get things done as well. In addition to all this, they need to fit into the culture of the business, mesh with the other managers in their immediate leadership team and be capable of development to the next level position. Dr. John Orr provides a full time on-line Management Assessment program for all of our clients. Dr. Orr is an Industrial and Organizational Psychologist by training with over 20 years in his field. He holds a PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago where he resides and is President at Rogala & Orr, Inc. (ROI). "I help organizations put the right people into the right jobs, both directly and indirectly," he states. Dr. Orr's online management assessment programs recognize the complex nature of management recruiting or promotion today. Managers today require significant intellectual and interpersonal capabilities coupled with high levels of foresight, contingency planning and decision making.

Custom Assessments Programs Include:

Measurements of Leadership; Management Style, and other key skill requirements. Can be used as a preliminary ‘filter’ for all new candidates to pass prior to expensive interviewing processes. Provides a common basis for comparison of all internal and external candidates.		The results of the program can integrate into management succession programs. Provides a Coaching and Developmental tool for the continuous enhancement of management skills and also be used to link with annual training programs and budgets. Provides for specific leadership and personal competency assessments for company executives. Provides a basis for individual personal development plans for key managers

HR Project Management:

Most organizations have occasions where a specific event , such as an acquisition or new manufacturing plant temporarily outstrips the organizations ability to handle it. Fenix has the capability and skills within the organization to provide help and support:

On-site placement of our recruiting expertise to handle short term but large scale recruiting programs required for management and/or operating staff at new plant implementations; new distribution centers or reconciliations after acquisitions and mergers.

Up to 70% of all acquisitions are failures in that they dilute shareholder value. One of the top 5 reasons for this failure is a clash of corporate cultures within management of the participating companies. Using our behavioral modeling and assessment tools, we undertake projects that identify in advance the issues that require management resolution as part of the post-acquisition planning.

In addition, our in-house HR professionals from leading industrial companies can act as a temporary resource to drive change through the organization in either leadership or support roles. Some of these services include:

Employment Process Consulting
Consulting for internal HR Staffing Process
Consulting for establishment of Strategic Training Plan
Supplemental Assessment Interviewing
Human Resource Function Assessment & Staffing
Management & Supervisory Leadership Development
Worker Compensation Cost Reduction
Absenteeism and Loss Time Control
