How we work

Search & Selection
Our core business is identifying, engaging, and delivering the best talent for senior roles across Europe. 

We work as a partner and trusted advisor, understanding the relevant background to each role, key goals, and ensuring that we are in the best position possible to engage with and recruit the best candidates, not only with the core competencies and experience required but also the right culture fit. We are committed to urgency, quality, and excellence in every search, hence we have an outstanding track record of long-term client and candidate relationships.

Pinpointing your specific requirements
Our searches begin with a detailed brief to formulate the key competencies for the role(s), the culture fit and the impact the role(s) will have on the overall business.  Our knowledge of the market, company structures, and how roles interact, enables us to quickly grasp the ‘ideal candidate’ profile. The same Consultants involved in taking the brief will handle the assignment from inception to completion, ensuring continuity and accountability. Our people are business-led, and we understand each role and the impact on the business as a whole.  Market knowledge, a superb network of contacts, and a true understanding of our client's requirements mean that we only present highly qualified candidates.

​

Identifying the very best people
Our approach to every assignment is based on building the strongest list of prospective candidates for the specific role(s).  We take a fresh approach to each search and our initial focus is on quickly building our lists of potential target companies where the right candidates will be employed. We utilize various routes to building our target lists, including an extensive network and in-depth market knowledge, enabling us to identify where the right individuals are.  More often than not they are successfully employed elsewhere and are not actively looking to move organizations – it is our credibility and our ability to professionally represent our clients which makes a major difference.

​

Approaching and engaging candidates
We have many years of experience in quickly engaging and building rapport with key individuals in the market – candidates see us as a ‘trusted advisor’ and will engage openly with us.  They value our reputation in the market, our knowledge, and the professionalism of our approach.
 

Effective management of the hiring process
Working in close harmony with our clients, we ensure the best opportunity of employing the candidate of choice by ensuring we offer the right sounding board throughout the hiring process, ensuring it runs smoothly, including negotiation stages and management through successful offers and resignations. 

Demand for the best candidates is at an all-time high and our ‘trusted advisor’ status often makes the difference in achieving the right result.
