 Assignment Initiation- Gaining a clear insight into the client's business and the role.

02 Week 1-2: Specification

Agreement of specification - This is the working brief we construct in partnership with our client to be used as the basis for the search. This is used to identify the market of suitable organisations and candidates.

03 Week 3: Market Transparency

Submission of target companies - Identification of candidates using research techniques, directly dissecting companies and creating 'real-time internal insight'.
