How it works
1. Contact
Get in touch to define needs or discuss issues. The contact details below will put you directly in touch with our Executive team. Following the first conversation we will make arrangements to come and discuss your needs with you in greater detail.
2. Meeting
Time is precious but the more that’s examined the better the results. Armed with research and analysis from the initial query our consultants will contextually appraise your situation and needs. Combined with the data, resources are scheduled, timelines and workflows produced and a simplified delivery plan compiled and presented.
3. Exploration
Upon confirmation of the engagement formal approaches to candidates are made. Specific tailored research and background assessments are carried out. Depending on the complexity of the requirement this scrutiny could take several weeks but every detail will be agreed in advance and you'll be constantly informed of the progress.
4. Delivery
Each potential incumbent is introduced to you. It’s not just a pack of two dimensional CVs. Your consultant will provide extensive insight and opinion as to why these people stand above all others.
5. Interview, feedback, interview, offer
During these critical phases focus aligns with securing the executive you want, ensuring that they possess the same level of enthusiasm and commitment. Post-interview analysis and review is fed back into the decision making process. Offers are verbally pre-negotiated after initial interview with formal acceptance virtually assured.
6. Intelligence
Acceptance is far from the end of the process. Consistent communication through the final parts of the transformation process ensures that the executive is familiarised with the initial projects, targets and actions during their notice period.
