Every 30 days, an email is sent out to all participants on the Shortlist to see if they have been successful in finding a job or not.  If they have found their Dream Job, they will be removed from the applicable list and a new Candidate will be added, if available.  Our goal is to have these updates completed the first calendar week of every month. 

At Cormack, Reference Checks are only completed as a final step in the Recruitment Process.  Therefore, unless a Candidate on The Shortlist has either been Placed by Cormack or reached the final stage of the process for an active Cormack Search, NO they will not have had their References or Background Check completed prior to being added to the list.

If a prospective Employer reaches out to Cormack to express interest in being connected with a Candidate on the Cormack Shortlist, the Recruiter connected with the Candidate will first ask some high-level qualifying questions of the Employer to ensure the potential job opportunity meets the needs of the Candidate.  This would include, but not be limited to: compensation details, location, job title, overview of job duties, etc. 

If the Recruiter deems the Employer to be a potential match for the Candidate, the Recruiter would gather the prospective Employer's contact information and reach out to the Candidate in question to determine their interest level.  If the Candidate agrees to the match, the Recruiter would facilitate an electronic introduction between the Candidate and prospective Employer that would include a current Resume for the Candidate.

The experience for both the Candidate and Employer following the electronic introduction will vary depending on the terms/services agreed upon between Cormack and the prospective Employer in advance of the introduction.

There are several options a prospective Employer can choose when engaging a Candidate off the Cormack Shortlist:

1. Simple Introduction - once all 3 parties (Cormack, Candidate and Employer) have agreed there is a potential match, Cormack will facilitate an electronic introduction between the prospective Employer and the Candidate.  This introduction will include a current Resume for the Candidate as well as the profile highlights from the Cormack Shortlist for that individual.  

Once the introduction has taken place, the Employer will be responsible for managing their own interview process.  Cormack will not provide any additional services and there will be no Guarantee Period associated with the Candidates prospective employment with the Employer.  The Employer will receive an invoice for a Flat Rate* following the introduction to the Candidate.  Payment is due upon receipt.

2. Introduction & References - once all 3 parties (Cormack, Candidate and Employer) have agreed there is a potential match, Cormack will facilitate an electronic introduction between the prospective Employer and the Candidate.. This introduction will include a current Resume for the Candidate as well as the profile highlights from the Cormack Shortlist for that individual.  

Once the introduction has been facilitated, the Employer will be responsible for managing their own interview process.  When they have decided to proceed with hiring the Candidate, Cormack will complete 2 Professional Reference Checks, including Criminal and Credit Check (if required) on the Candidate, submitting written summaries of completed References and Background reports to the Employer for their files.  The Employer will receive an invoice for a Flat Rate* following the completion of the Reference Checks.  Payment is due upon receipt.  There will be a 1 month Guarantee Period associated with this Placement.

3. Full Cormack Experience - once all 3 parties (Cormack, Candidate and Employer) have agreed there is a potential match, Cormack will review, in detail, the scope of the position the Employer is considering the Candidate for with the applicable Hiring Manager.  Next, the Recruiter will conduct a full interview of the Candidate in consideration for that specific position and submit a full Cormack Profile, including a synopsis of the interview and a current Resume, for the Candidate to the Hiring Manager.  From there, Cormack will manage the coordination of interviews with the Employer and conduct 2 professional Reference Checks prior to Placement.  

Once the Candidate has signed the employment contract with the Employer, Cormack will invoice the Employer a percentage of the successful candidate's base salary with a corresponding guarantee period, previously agreed upon prior to Candidate engagement. This invoice will be due 30 days following receipt.
