It can often take many months to find the right person, all told. We like to be clear about this upfront, as planning and budgeting for an immediate turnaround for a critical role almost universally results in failure. 

We will provide you with a proposed timeline that encompasses sourcing, shortlisting, interviewing, negotiations, notice period and relocations where applicable so you can appropriately prepare for what is to come.

Our understanding of the specific requirements will allow us to develop a robust ‘Ideal Candidate Profile.’ This acts as the road map for the search, summarising the organisation and the position’s scope, as well as an outline of the ideal candidate’s relevant experience, management competencies, work style, and personality.

To get the top-quality candidates, we will start the process by mapping the market. This includes mapping competitors and non-competitors with relevant talent.

Guided by the Ideal Candidate Profile, we will identify potential candidates for your search, leveraging our worldwide network of executive recruiting and consulting sources.

Our approach is multi-faceted and bespoke, tailored to the channels with the highest engagement rate from the profile of the candidate you are targeting to ensure no leaf is left unturned. 

To help make informed decisions when you are shortlisting candidates, our team conducts preliminary screenings of all candidates to ensure suitability not only to the role and your organisation but also to life in the jurisdiction in question – we typically do this on two separate calls as well as an initial email screening.

We work with you to identify a shortlist of highly skilled candidates that meet the needs of the position in question, recommending the top 4-6 candidates. 

In addition, we will provide a full candidate matrix of all applicants with a comprehensive breakdown and comparison of relevancy based on the competencies of the position as well as our commentary on any relevant qualitative factors.

We will work with you to finalize the negotiation process and ultimately accelerate the hiring and onboarding process. Our frequent communication will ensure that you remain well informed about the status of any negotiations, the offer, and the eventual acceptance.

In our initial conversations with you regarding the search we will advise you on current market expectations for competitive pay, benefits packages and perks that top candidates may be looking for, so that you can consider what is possible from the get-go.
