Identification & Engagement

Having pinpointed the precise target candidate profile, our next step is to identify these candidates in the market. Leveraging our deep understanding of your requirements, we engage with top talent, cutting through the noise to secure their interest effectively.

Market Mapping & Long Listing

Using the competency and leadership profile, alongside comprehensive market benchmarking data, we pinpoint the precise industries, company types, and geographic locations where ideal executive talent resides. This targeted approach not only informs my identification of long-listed candidates, providing a valuable market overview, but also yields insightful competitive intelligence as a natural byproduct of the search process.

Approach & Engagement

Identifying top-tier executive talent is only the first step; engaging them effectively requires cutting through the constant market noise and capturing their attention with a compelling proposition. Leveraging both extensive direct network and strategic indirect connections, we ensure access to these sought-after individuals and initiate meaningful conversations that resonate with their career aspirations and values.

Our combined Assessment

Our combined interview process integrates thorough assessments from our executive search experts with the client’s interview approach. This co-created model ensures a seamless and effective evaluation, delivering the best-fit candidates.

Our Assessment

Our interview process is rigorously structured and competency-based, directly informed by the jointly defined candidate profile and by market benchmark data, ensuring a consistent and objective evaluation. To provide a comprehensive assessment, we strategically incorporate additional tools, such as psychometric evaluations or capability assessments, when necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the candidate’s strengths and potential fit.

Interview Management

To ensure a seamless and efficient interview process, we manage all logistical aspects, from scheduling to providing comprehensive preparation materials for both the candidate and the interview panel. We facilitate structured feedback loops after each stage, ensuring clear communication and alignment, and I’m available to assist with both formal and informal reference checks as needed.

Continuous Engagement and Offer Managment

We continuously keep candidates engaged and excited throughout the process, ensuring their interest remains high and your priorities are met. Additionally, we support our clients with comprehensive offer management, combining benchmarking market data and detailed insights into candidates’ current compensation to craft competitive offers that create a win-win situation for both sides.

Continuous Engagement

Throughout the offer process, we maintain close, proactive engagement with all candidates, extending far beyond simple feedback loops. This dedicated attention is designed to cultivate continued excitement about the opportunity, while also providing valuable insights into any competing offers or considerations the candidate may be weighing.

Offer Management

Effective offer management begins with the very first candidate interaction, proactively addressing potential deal-breakers like compensation and location to ensure alignment from the outset. We collaborate closely with the client, providing relevant market benchmarks and expert guidance to structure a compelling offer, and then we work diligently with both the candidate and the client to navigate negotiations and facilitate a successful, mutually beneficial conclusion.
