How a Mindpool USA search runs
Every engagement starts with a briefing call in which we pull apart the role rather than the job title: the problems the hire owns in their first two quarters, the systems and tooling they inherit, who they work alongside, and which parts of the specification are genuinely non-negotiable. That brief becomes the scorecard we screen against for this search, so shortlists are argued for on evidence instead of keyword overlap.
Sourcing is deliberately two-track. We approach specialists already known to our sector recruiters, and we run targeted, specialised outreach into the specific teams, programmes, and technologies where the relevant experience actually sits — including people who are not searching. Candidates are then interviewed by a recruiter who understands the domain, reference-checked on the claims that matter, and presented with a written rationale, compensation expectations, notice period, and location constraints already confirmed.
