» Role Definition and Position Profile

Role definition and the position profile are the most critical elements of the Client’s investment in human capital. Blue creates a custom position profile that is detailed, comprehensive, and accurately represents the opportunity at hand in the most compelling fashion. The position profile is developed after receiving detailed feedback from the hiring manager, peers, as well as direct reports to the new hire. This feedback is used to accurately define the new role, thereby ensuring optimal search strategy development, and marketplace targeting.
