	Preliminary Consultation/ Search Objectives	Day One Through Week Two
	Development of Candidates	Week Two through Six
	Client Progress Report	Week Six
	Candidate Interviews/Evaluation	Week Six through Eight
	Client Interviews	Week Eight through Ten
	Second Round of Client Interviews	Week Ten through Twelve
	Hire Date of Candidate	By Week Sixteen
