Our Focus when conducting a search
Considering your market environment
To fully understand your requirements, we will first gain a deep understanding of the marketplace and environment in which you operate, with a research function that covers multiple sectors across FTSE 250, blue chip and SMES throughout the UK and internationally.
Ensuring a culture fit to your team
Establishing the right culture fit is critical to any hire. With a multi-stage interview process, all candidates are screened for skill-set, culture and values. If required, psychometric testing is an additional tool that can be used to ascertain culture with questions compiled around candidate responses.
Alignment with your strategy & goals
Rather than adopting a complex or mystical approach, each search is a truly bespoke and personalised service built around the client’s individual needs. With this in mind, the briefing process will normally involve a meeting to discuss history, goals, strategy and culture to ensure that the successful candidate is fully aligned.
Capabilities
Executive search
Full end-to-end service from initial brief to negotiated offer acceptance, searching a passive market along with established networks, seeking out and placing the best talent available within your business. SHL psychometric testing can also be used to enhance your process.
Partial Search
A partial search or market mapping exercise builds an external talent pool to benchmark internal talent or future-proof your organisation. Ongoing relationships with potential hires can be managed over an extended time.
Our promise when partnering with you
Transparency & Candour
The importance of open communication channels are key, as is professional and transparent insight. Honest feedback (even when the news might be disappointing), can be the difference between a successful hire or not so you can be assured of openness, truth and candour at all times .
Trust & Confidentiality
Acting as a genuine and trusted partner and advisor to both candidates and hiring managers alike, as well as always maintaining the role of business ambassador and showcasing the client brand, is paramount. Successful long-term partnerships are based on trust and professionalism, so all conversations and information received are treated with discretion and in the strictest confidence. NDAs are also available for highly sensitive projects.
Awareness & Respect
With a values-led approach to business, the aim is never to forget how it feels to be a candidate on the journey, while always remembering the critical need for solid and positive client outcomes. Understanding the importance of representing your organisation and of the impact that positive external candidate journey can have in the future, is key to every assignment.
