Once you’ve selected a candidate profile that interests you, you may email or call us and we will contact you to discuss the opportunity that is available within your company. Our Process

The candidates that you will find in the APASelect database will come from three places. One group of candidates will be comprised of extremely talented individuals that APA Search met during a retained executive search that were not ultimately placed with their client. Another group of candidates will have applied for membership in the APASelect program and will have successfully passed our very stringent screening process. The final group of candidates will have been invited by our staff to participate in the APASelect program as a result of their impeccable industry reputation and known accomplishments.

Other than entry level, you will find professionals at every level and in all functional areas.

Yes, when you register you will be given the opportunity to select to receive email notifications.

Should the employer decide they would like to find out who the candidate(s) is and receive their actual resume and notes; we will need to talk with the employer so we can better understand and explain the opportunity to the candidate. We will then talk with the candidate to determine their interest in the position and secure their permission to release additional information. During this process we will also forward to the employer a simple contingency fee agreement for them to sign (see Contingency Agreement).

Yes, you can save candidate profiles to your 'My Candidates' page. The profiles will stay on your My Candidates page until you remove them. Also, every time you request more information on a candidate(s), his/her profile is automatically saved to your My Candidates page.

Yes, when you create an employer account it will allow you to give us information on the type of candidates that you would like to hear about. If you have very specific needs you may call or email us about your needs. We might be currently engaged in processing a candidate that fits your needs.

Candidates will remain in our database as long as they are still seriously considering a new opportunity and remain in good industry standing. If a candidate is hired through APASelect they will be made inactive in our database while they are still employed with the hiring company that worked with us.

In order to eliminate any potential conflicts, every APASelect candidate will provide us with a list of companies with which they are currently discussing employment. If the candidate feels that there might be a conflict, we will also ask every employer who they are currently considering, before any APASelect candidate resumes are sent. For complete information on Contingency Fee Agreement, click here.

Each reference check will include discussions with previous supervisors, and may also include discussions with peers and subordinates. A comprehensive and specific list of questions will be created to cover the candidate’s overall integrity, intelligence, work habits, relative and relevant experience and product/category knowledge, significant achievements, leadership skills, communication skills, strategic and tactical skills, and specific skills relative to the position that the candidate is seeking i.e. financial, sales and marketing, IT, supply chain, etc. These questions are designed to determine the candidates eligibility to be included on the site while conforming to best practices in fair employment.

Once an employer becomes seriously interested in one of our candidates we can supply any and all types of testing and background checks. These services will be billed (at our cost) to our clients, separate and apart from our fee, on an a la carte basis. Testing is limited to job related tests that are a business necessity.

Your profile - that appears in our public, searchable database - will showcase your credentials but be written generically enough so that no one will be able to identify you. Additionally, before your profile is added to the database, it will be sent to you for final approval and suggested changes.

Once you’ve completed your questionnaire and uploaded your resume, an assessment is made whether you meet the APASelect.com Candidate Requirements. If your application is accepted, we will then contact your references. This initial process can take up to two weeks, depending on the availability of your references. Once this step is complete, we will draft your profile and send it to you for approval.

When an employer finds Candidates that interest them, they contact the APASelect team. We will discuss the employer's needs and determine whether the Candidate's and employer’s objectives are in alignment with respect to location, compensation, etc. If so, we will contact the Candidate to determine their interest in the opportunity. If the Candidate wants to pursue the position, it is at this point that we will send the person's resume and other background information to the employer. If the Candidate is NOT interested in pursuing the position, the employer is informed of this and the Candidate's identity is not divulged.

No one except the APASelect team will ever see your resume, unless and until you approve releasing it to a potential employer (see previous FAQ).
