VELOCITY SEARCH GROUP
VELOCITY SEARCH GROUP
Before you read a single word of this package, your candidate has already been through a rigorous two-call vetting process — developed and refined by VSG over years of executive search.
VSG's candidate questionnaire system was built by our team, for our clients. The goal was simple: give hiring teams accurate information directly from the candidate — unfiltered, unedited, in their own words — so they could read it, think about it, and see exactly how well that candidate expresses themselves in writing. Before committing a single hour of their time.
Must-have requirements are confirmed first. If the candidate doesn't clear the bar, the process ends here. For those who do, we present the full opportunity — the company, the role, the team, and why it matters. Then we give them everything they need to prepare.
Built from the job description and intake call notes. The candidate answers on their own time — no pressure, no rushing. They get to be thorough. Every candidate responds the same way: “That's great — I always wish I'd had more time to remember everything.”
We review every answer together. We probe technically where needed. We confirm the candidate wrote their own responses — no AI, no ghostwriting. We follow up with additional live questions. Turnaround is 24–48 hours so your search never stalls.
Questionnaire in the candidate's own voice. VSG recruiter assessment. Verified resume. All three together — so you can read, evaluate, and decide before you schedule a single hour of your time.
We never correct, polish, or rewrite a candidate's answers. What you read is exactly what they wrote. That's intentional — because their writing tells you as much as their experience. You see how they think, how they communicate, and how they handle a professional ask before you ever get on a call.

Every questionnaire is built custom from the job description and your intake call — not pulled from a template. The candidate completes it in their own words — giving you direct insight before the first interview.
