PROFESSIONAL SEARCH SERVICES OVERVIEW

Boundless Flight's goal is to help you manage your staffing in an ever-changing technical and economic landscape. One of the services we offer is support for the research, identification, qualification, negotiation, and acquisition of technical professionals that fit well into your operational, tactical, and strategic environments. With a private database of over 6,000 pre-researched and career-tracked technicians across the U.S . and efficient access to over 100,000 more, Boundless Flight, Inc. can often be your most efficient and effective search mechanism when you have technical personnel needs.

Our Professional Search Services consists of six discrete and yet integrated service offerings:

Position Requirements Definition Technician Identification Research Technician Qualification (Interview, References & Background Check) Terms and Conditions Negotiation Contract Definition Technician Retention Closure

Position Requirements Definition

The first step to attracting and hiring the right technician for a specific position in your organization is properly defining the experience, skill sets and abilities critical to the technician's success. It has been our repeated experience that the quality of this position definition will have a direct bearing on the organization's ability to efficiently attract the right professionals for the position. A poorly defined and articulated position description will lead to a lack of interest and indifference amid the pool of qualified candidates. A well defined and structured position definition can be the first step in establishing a long-term, mutually satisfying and beneficial relationship between employee and employer. Specific position requirement definition capabilities include:

Technical language review and editing Normalization of position descriptions across multiple related openings Clear delineation between “Required”, “Important”, and “Like to Have” candidate qualifications Alignment of formal certifications with desired skill sets Normalization of regional and industry compensation and benefits levels

Technician Identification Research

We strongly believe that the best technical recruitment is done through “trust” relationships in which both parties can be confident their interests are being accurately and fairly represented. Our team attends conferences, networks actively in multiple states, and spends thousands of hours each year in one-on-one conversations maintaining strong relationships with the technical community to establish and keep this trust. Our team works hard to continually stay current with the latest industry “Best Practices” and methodologies regarding not just hiring but also retaining the best and brightest technicians in the marketplace. Specific identification research offerings include:

Targeted technical network postings Targeted university alumni postings Private network research Public network research Online candidate status tracking with client access

Technician Qualification (Interview, References & Background Check)

Once a candidate has been discovered through the identification research, a formal interview needs to be conducted and documented for future reference. Interview questions need to be constructed and articulated in such a fashion as to eliminate the potential for ambiguous and unclear responses. Responses to targeted qualification questions need to be posted in such a fashion that interested parties can review them securely at any time during the selection process. References, both those listed and those discovered through research, are queried to validate resume details. Background checks are executed using reputable services used to screen technicians for highly sensitive government work. Reference and background check results can be securely posted in the same fashion as the interview details. Deliverables include:

Interview structure and articulation Interview results documentation Listed reference checking Reference checking from secondary sources Contracted background check Resume/vita validation Posting of qualification results online with client access

Terms and Conditions Negotiation

Finding the right technician with the right technical skills does not guarantee a happy marriage between the technician and the hiring company. There may be complex expectations that need to be discussed, understood, and documented to make sure the relationship lasts as long as the hiring company has need of the technician. Boundless Flight's team is expert at listening to the needs, wishes, and expectations of technicians during transition consideration. As such, we often are able to spot warning signs during discussions that can be adequately responded to before irreversible commitments are made on either side of the table. Specific services include:

Relocation package definition Salary, benefits, and bonuses Education and training expectations Documentation of inherited technical and managerial environments Definition of managerial stability expectations Availability to expert knowledge bases and sources

Contract Definition

Our Contract Definition Professionals can either operate independently to construct a contract that represents the best interests of both parties or will work closely with your HR and technical teams to tune existing templates to fit specific situations. Having placed individuals in scores of organizations, many classic pitfalls and “gaps” in technical employment contracts can be avoided. Where objective performance metrics are well understood or desired, we can articulate and document those expectations clearly, thereby eliminating future interpretation ambiguities. These services include the following areas

Organizational Structure Definitions Reporting Structure Definition Accountability Definition Responsibilities Definition (both inclusion and exclusion) Severance Terms Definition

Technician Retention Closure

Boundless Flight's team has substantial experience with sales closure techniques that makes us uniquely qualified to get the signature on the bottom line with terms beneficial to both parties. Being a neutral party to the engagement, Boundless Flight senior sales professionals remind the candidate of the “upside” to the relationship and work hard to resolve any last-minute obstacles to signing. The use of collaboration technology can speed final negotiations and ensure that both parties are operating on the same terms, using the same language, and are signing in good faith. The use of a neutral party can also serve to eliminate the personalization of tension that might otherwise plague a professional relationship through its lifecycle. Specific advantages and offerings in the closure cycle include:

Professional presentation of contract Real-time collaboration and dialog support Accurate and permanent documentation Negotiation through the final obstacles Tension mitigation and depersonalization discussions, terms, and agreements
