Executive Search

Clients choosing our Executive Search methodology will typically be seeking to appoint key roles on a confidential basis, or have resource requirements in particularly niche skill areas where traditional recruitment techniques would not be as effective. A full search is the most comprehensive recruitment methodology, minimising financial risk and protecting business reputation throughout the executive hiring process.

You will partner with our specialist consultants and expert in-house research capability who are committed to ensuring successful delivery against agreed timeframes and budgets.

The first step is an in-depth client consultation to develop a detailed project brief based on both the required candidate skills and behavioural competencies.

Core Search activities include comprehensive market mapping establishing target audience, preparation of candidate long-list and approaches, followed by rigorous pre-screening which may include competency-based interviews, psychometric profiling and aptitude testing. As a result of this process the client is presented with a suitable shortlist of thoroughly vetted candidates from which to arrange interviews. We continue to support the client through offer management to candidate acceptance, with a full project review upon completion.

Timescales vary per project and industry sector, though are typically 2-6 weeks from initial consultation to presentation of candidate shortlist.
