Your
Options
When seeking senior talent, organisations typically consider four options:
- Do nothing.
- Rely on personal networks.
- Engage an agency claiming market specialism.
- Use a traditional headhunting company.
We believe there’s a better way—one that is proactive, open, visible, and fully auditable.
Our Approach
1. Initial Consultation & Specification
Following an in-depth meeting to understand your requirements, we will create a bespoke role specification for you. This document is used both externally, with candidates, and internally by our research team, ensuring clarity and alignment from the outset.
2. Research & Market Mapping
We conduct exhaustive research, identifying every relevant company within your specified market. This list is shared with you for complete transparency and is entirely auditable. You’re encouraged to review it, provide feedback, or suggest additions, ensuring the research truly reflects your needs.
To achieve complete market coverage, we supplement our research with targeted advertising and social media campaigns, reaching those who may be between roles or possess transferable skills from adjacent sectors.
3. Identifying and Approaching Talent
We dissect organisational structures to pinpoint the right individuals in the right roles within each target company. Our approach is meticulous—no stone is left unturned. Our expert researchers confidentially approach every identified individual without revealing your company’s identity. This ensures discretion and maintains your reputation in the market.
Our team excels at engaging passive candidates—those not actively seeking new opportunities—by initiating meaningful conversations that spark genuine interest.
4. Consultant Meetings
Shortlisted candidates are invited to confidential, in-depth meetings (typically 1½ to 2 hours) with our consultants. These are held in convenient, discreet locations. We assess not only professional experience and technical fit, but also cultural alignment and motivation.
Only after a candidate has demonstrated suitability and signed a non-disclosure agreement do we reveal your company’s identity and discuss the role in detail.
5. Shortlisting
We objectively and subjectively assess all engaged candidates, and we think it's a shortlist of those best aligned with your brief and most excited about the opportunity.
6. Client Interviews & Offer Management
We support you throughout every stage of the interview process, from informal meetings to final negotiations. Our role extends to managing feedback, ensuring clear communication, and safeguarding against counter-offers—so the candidate you want is the one who joins your organisation.
7. Post-Acceptance Support
Our commitment doesn’t end at offer acceptance. We remain engaged throughout the candidate’s notice period, ensuring a smooth transition and successful integration.
