Our approach to executive search
We recognise that both our clients and candidates are unique and that our solutions must reflect this. We establish what's unique about your hiring requirement before proposing an approach.
A dedicated consultant
Our teams are comprised of executive search specialists who pride themselves on their ability to add value. You'll have a dedicated point of contact for the duration of the assignment who can leverage this proximity to get a feel for the culture of your business, the motivation behind the hire and the challenges of the role.
A global network
Armed with a comprehensive brief, your consultant will utilise a combination of grassroots knowledge and global reach to compile a qualified shortlist. Possible solutions include retained search, advertised selection or a combination of the two.
Although we're proud of our world-class database, we don't rely on it to source your talent. We offer competitive advertising packages with a social media component. Additionally, our in-house research function and the networks and contacts we've developed over 35 years in the business ensures you access to the best candidates, both active and passive.
Thorough screening
The shortlist will be subject to a thorough screening process to ensure they're as good a match as they seem. At this crucial juncture we don't believe in cutting corners, employing 360 degree referencing to elicit detail from managers, colleagues and direct reports.
End-to-end care
Nor does our duty of care end with vetting the shortlist. Ours is a truly end-to-end service:
- Timescales agreed prior to sign off and rigidly adhered to
- Regular progress reports keep you abreast of developments
- In-depth candidate shortlists presented in person
- Comprehensive management of interview stage
- Contracts negotiated on your behalf
- Impetus maintained to guarantee successful outcome
- Confidentiality observed throughout
Peace of mind
We're aware that for the duration of the assignment we act as representatives of your business. Recruiting at this level means negotiating with some very influential people, the opinion of whom could directly impact upon your reputation. Our candidate care team exists to ensure that the professionals we contact on your behalf receive a service that is exemplary in its courtesy and efficiency, safeguarding the integrity of your brand.
