Our permanent recruitment service enables us to uncover the top talent clients need for crucial senior positions.
Our executive search service engages expert Consultants who utilise their market and situational knowledge combined with their recruitment expertise to shape a solution with the Client.
Their mission is to identify, access, engage, evaluate, represent, facilitate, broker and then place the right person in to the role. To do this with non-active senior candidates against challenging briefs is the skill of a professional recruitment partner.
We operate as an extension of our Clients organisation by representing their interests and work to enhance their brand through our activities. We offer a comprehensive service, screening candidates for both technical and behavioural fit and matching them to both the organisation and the role situation.
Though much of our permanent work is managed via our enhanced recruitment process we do encounter situations where Clients that have their own standardised talent processes. On these occasions we seek to adapt our approach and support Client requirements provided the process and outcome is not compromised.
Enhanced Recruitment Process
Our executive-intro™ search process provides you with a shortlist of high quality candidates well matched to your requirements within 6 weeks and is backed by an industry leading 12 months guarantee thereby de-risking the hiring process and aligning the entire process to the Clients objectives
Executive-intro™ includes mapping the market for agreed and in specification targets, creating a behavioural profile of the ideal candidate, engaging candidates and benchmarking them to key criteria and competency and behavioural characteristics. A shortlist of candidates who meet the desired requirements are presented in a secure online portal accessible 24/7 which promotes stakeholder engagement particularly with busy executives leading highly mobile and time limited work lives. The information we present provides a comprehensive view of the candidates including videos, behavioural reports, responses to competency questions, benchmarking, interview report and bio details. This provides a wealth of behavioural and competency evidence which enables Clients to accelerate their evaluation and decision-making processes making the entire process more efficient, effective and professional.
The EO Consultant provides expert support through the entire process and remains in contact with you the Client and the candidate for the first 12 months to ensure objectives are met and everyone is satisfied before concluding the process.
The process can be broken down in to key parts:
Accessing Top Talent
As a business , you want to access the top 10% of talent matched to your needs, but only 0.25% of the market is both available and top talent. this is because the majority of top talent is in-role.
A skilled search consultant helps you access the 8% of top talent that is in-role but would be open to moving if the opportunity is compelling enough.
An EO consultant is experienced at professionally representing a clients employee value proposition and skilled at engaging, facilitating and evaluating the best calibre candidates matched to the brief.
Candidate Assessment
Historically, companies hire on skills but fire on behaviour, and to break this cycle recruitment needs to provide insights beyond a standard interview. This is why our executive-intro ® process uses a range of assesment tools like videos and psychometrics in combination with CV, background checks and benchmarking to provide much more insight about each candidate put forward for the role before interview.
