DEI&B FACILITATION,
ASSESSMENTS, TRAINING,
COACHING
Top RANK provides impactful DEI&B development and consulting solutions. Our goal is to influence positive change in your workplace culture through a facilitated approach that breaks barriers in today’s organizations.
It does not matter how much technology, how many locations, how much inventory, or how many other resources you have to operate your organization—your most important asset is your people! We will work with you to discover root issues and guide the creation of strategies that work best to inspire a more welcoming environment for your colleagues and the people whom you serve. The journey will have a lasting positive impact your organization and community.
While discovery about your organization’s culture should be an ongoing journey, Top RANK believes that the first and most important discovery step that an organization should take is to have authentic, facilitated discussion about the current and desired culture of your organization. Through this process we will open up a courageous space for your colleagues to explore their inner perspectives on a deeper level. Self-reflection, real talk, and the willingness to first listen to others who simply want to be heard and understood before they are judged, is a powerful way to influence meaningful cultural change.

More than post-and-pray:
Collaboration-It’s About You:
Transparent communication:
Top RANK will always take advantage of traditional recruiting strategies as appropriate. However, we will seek the best talent through proactive networking, leveraging key contacts with boots on the ground in markets we serve.
We deeply value listening to understand because you know your organization better than we do. Our efforts together will only influence positive change it is not the “Top RANK Show”.
We feel that quality communication is key to any type of relationship. We will communicate in whatever method you desire to ensure you are kept abreast in a timely fashion during every step in our recruiting efforts.
Our talent acquisition work is guided by our 5-Star Process:
Whenever possible, Top RANK will meet onsite with your leadership, and if possible, the hiring manager who will work closely with the candidate. Top RANK will review the job-specific description to ensure we understand the education, skills, and experience required to perform the duties of the job. However, we want to go deeper with our understanding of the talent you seek. We want to learn about your history, your day-to-day operations, and most importantly, your people culture, all of which is critical to Top RANK’s success at attracting the right fit for your organization.
Top RANK will take the information learned from our discovery and implement a recruiting strategy for your organization and begin to compile qualified candidates for the position(s). The marketing plan will include traditional job boards and social media efforts, but most importantly, will include proactive sourcing efforts by tapping into our vast professional and personal networks.
Top RANK will begin contacting and conducting detailed phone screens with selected candidates, ensuring that we focus both on the need to sell the benefits of working for your organization, and also probing with appropriate questions to learn more about the candidate. We will coordinate interviews with candidates at your discretion.
We will partner with our clients as requested to facilitate any assessments, arrange or perform background checks, prepare and negotiate the offer, assist with relocation logistics, connect candidates to the community organizations, and other reasonable support.
We will follow up with you and the candidate to ensure a smooth transition is taking place and that you are satisfied with the talent gained at your establishment and that the candidate feels satisfied with their decision to join your organization. We take pride at Top RANK in our desire to develop long term relationships for our clients and candidates.
