Search
Search (Headhunting) can be a very effective method of identifying and engaging confidentially with talented individuals who have specific experience or skills.
Search is most effective when the target population can be clearly defined. By its nature each search list is tailored to your specific requirements, taking into account factors such as; skill-set, seniority, geography, industry sector, specific competitors, company turnover or listing, to name but a few.
Once we have formed a detailed understanding of your requirements, we thoroughly research the market to determine where we are likely to find your targets before compiling this list for your approval.
Once agreed, we will identify potential candidates who meet the relevant criteria before making a direct and positive approach on your behalf.
Search can be used on it's own or as part of a wider sourcing strategy. We manage the whole process, from Initial Consultation to successful placement and beyond.
Please contact one of the Partners for an initial discussion or click to send us a message and we will contact you.

The Initial Consultation is at the heart of everything we do. We can’t begin to understand your requirements unless we get to know you and your business first.
Proposal

Candidate Identification
Tailored to your needs and focussed on sourcing the highest calibre shortlist, we combine traditional methods of search and selection with the latest online and social media techniques, as part of a wider overall talent acquisition strategy.
Rigorous Pre-Selection
Interviews & Assessments that deliver matches on more than technical skills and experience. In addition we look at the candidates' cultural fit, personality, ambition, aspirations and long-term aims, reducing the chance of expectations being unfulfilled on either side.

Presentation of the shortlist along with detailed assessments of each candidate relative to the brief. Any additional profiling can be managed and delivered at this stage.
Your Selection Process
Management of your interview and selection process, (including any additional candidate profiling), ensuring things run smoothly and feedback is promptly managed between all parties.
Offer Management
Managing the offer process and handling any negotiations is key to achieving a successful outcome.
Post-Acceptance Management
There is often a significant time between acceptance and the successful applicant joining your business. Maintaining positive contact, particularly during their notice period, significantly reduces the risks of unexpected counter offers or alternative options coming to light.
Post-Placement Care
In line with our unique replacement guarantee, we make a post-placement commitment to maintain regular contact in a structured manner for the first year of the appointment.
