Our approach to executive search is designed around our motivation to achieve a positive outcome for our Client. We measure our success through a combination of assignment completion rate and client satisfaction, this only being achieved if our process is transparent and secures the best available talent with the utmost efficiency.
We target our greatest experience and market knowledge in the places that help to maximise success. Each assignment therefore is Partner lead, from the initial Candidate contact, to offer management and post placement feedback.
Each candidate is validated for their skills, their culture fit and their motivation. In this way, we address the questions: Can they do the job? Can they do it in your environment? Importantly, do they have the motivation and resilience to do it again?
To ensure that our Client’s best interest is maintained and that the risk of hire is mitigated, the appropriate risk management is in place in our processes and terms of business.
Globally we have successfully delivered executive search services in sixteen countries on six continents, our research capabilities and processes enabling us to operate seamlessly.
