We have developed a way of working that combines fundamental analysis and a clear route to delivery with a dedicated, personal service that responds to each of our client’s needs.

Familiarisation: through meeting all the relevant individuals within our client’s firm, we build a picture of the
strategy and culture of our client’s operation and the business-critical issues.

The brief: our candidate brief sets out succinctly the personal and professional characteristics being sought and the distinctive features of the role.

The search: in addition to leveraging our large network, we systematically analyse the market to capture a broad range of first-class candidates.

Third-party perspectives: we adopt the 360-degree approach to securing the opinions of a large number of people who know the candidate and the market.

The decision: we structure the interview process, give prompt feedback and provide frank, independent advice to help both parties reach a decision.

Communication: in addition to informal advice, we provide systematic updates each week and a full quality assessment for the client halfway through the process, as well as at the end of the assignment. Throughout the first year of an appointment, we stay in close contact with candidate and client to support successful integration.

Closing the deal: all of the above – preparation, analysis, clear communication and the creative solution – ease the way to the final, critical step that secures an outstanding hire for our client.
