OUR METHODOLOGY

We carry out an intensive search and selection process, covering:

Every company on the agreed target list. Experienced researchers carry out an extensive Organisational Chart Mapping exercise to locate the best talent in the right area and gather references and referrals.
Our international database which has been compiled over 14 years using our networking and referral schemes.
Some of the most exclusive platforms, as a member of these we have access to senior executives globally - with over 2,000 registering per month this is the most extensive source of all new and existing talent.
All executive hiring sites including leading broadsheets, e.g. The Guardian and Daily Telegraph.

Selection:

Once we have identified a suitable profile we select the 10 best candidates who will be interviewed by three of our senior partners. The client director will collect interview feedback and short list the top three-five candidates.

Success in new senior roles can never be taken for granted and 40% of new leaders fail within 18 months. This is due to a combination of fit, culture, performance and, crucially, preparation. Our search process usually halves this risk. We believe that a planned, thoughtful approach to on-boarding can further reduce this failure rate to as little as 5%.

This process starts well before the leader’s first day and includes planning for the pre-start time and up to the first three months. Successful on-boarding places considerable focus on stakeholder management, team communication and alignment with strategic objectives.
