Whether representing a small or large enterprise, our executives often take responsibility for the success or failure of business critical decisions.

Our specialist research teams, highly trained in advanced data collection and analytics, support all assignments and facilitate complete market coverage.
Assessment commences via the telephone and proceeds to questionnaires if both consultant and candidate believe a role match is possible. The questionnaire targets background information such as career path expectations, personal leadership style and remuneration expectations. The questionnaire also covers specific competency based questions across business growth and performance, executive team development and customer partnering. If this information is of the required quality, an interview is scheduled where knowledge, skill, ability and attitude are assessed. There is a need to ensure the candidates possess both the knowledge and hard skills required, and contemporary soft skills which allow them to engage and lead, establish credibility and build trust.
Recommendation for Interview (RFI) documentation is produced which includes background summary, consultant interpretation of candidate capability, psychological profile data, candidate resume and questionnaire responses, and information covering remuneration expectations and notice period.
Extensive reference checking is paramount in search and selection. Notwithstanding issues of individual and cultural fit, a strong driver of search and selection activities is the belief that previous specific and demonstrated experiences and successes are a valid predictor of future performance in many circumstances.
