A Structured 4 Phase Approach
We employ a structured, phased approach to search planning and execution, with specific objectives for each phase. Also, we conduct a joint progress review with the client at the end of each phase.
- PHASE 1 – Client Briefing – Research – Progress Review
- PHASE 2 – Sourcing – Evaluation and Presentation of Candidates – Progress Review
- PHASE 3 – Client Interviews – Reference Checking – Progress Review
- PHASE 4 – Negotiations – Search Closeout – Follow Up – Review
The true test of a professional search consultant is consistently to maintain a high level of commitment to completing searches undertaken, including those which prove to be unusually difficult or become extended. Our clients deserve, and will receive, our unflagging effort and personal attention until the engagement is completed.
