Our strategic approach to Executive Search is tailored to address the specific needs of your organization. Exceeding your expectations is our primary concern; therefore, we pay detailed attention in understanding your business from within, thoroughly study your corporate culture and business processes to provide the “Best Fit Talents”.
Understand Client’s Need
Each assignment begins with an initial briefing from the client during which the key parameters of the search are agreed and documented.
Mapping & Approaching Candidates
Assignment Study: Following the Initial Briefing, our consultants then carry out an assignment study which usually involves visiting the client’s offices and meeting with key executives to discuss the business environment, culture, priorities and any other issues that may affect the position.
Target Candidates: We draft and submit a position and candidate specification for the client to approve. The document describes in detail the company, the role, responsibilities, goals and key challenges of the position. It also summarizes the experience, qualifications and competencies required for success. These key competencies (a unique combination of proven skills, knowledge, abilities and attitudes) form the basis of our assessment of potential candidates throughout the search process.
Mapping & Approaching: After defining the key selection criteria with client, we continue our targeted research into companies and sectors to find those best qualified for the role. Using our unique database and broad networks, we consult sources familiar with those companies and industries to seek informal views and opinions on individuals we believe may be relevant and qualified. On the basis of our research, we approach potential candidates on an informed basis. Once we determine that an individual is both qualified and interested in the role, we meet him/her in person for further assessment.

Candidate Presentation
Candidate assessment: Before presenting any candidate to the client, we conduct a rigorous competency-based interview. Each candidate is assessed and validated against the position specification and a report and recommendation are prepared for the client with our assessment of each candidate’s fit against the specification. We continue to seek informal external views on each candidate before introducing him or her to the client, in order to confirm and enhance our knowledge of the candidate’s achievements and track record. We also verify each candidate’s academic qualifications.
Placement & Candidate care
Final Assessment + Referencing: After the client has selected their preferred candidate, our consultants conduct thorough referencing to further measure and assess competencies, strengths and weaknesses, and to provide our client with external views of the individual. This may happen at the final interview with client or before the offer letter’s delivery on the agreement between the client and our consultants. When an offer is made to a candidate, our consultants are available to participate in any negotiations. Unsuccessful candidates are promptly and courteously informed.
Client Satisfaction Survey (CSS)
Finally we conduct a detailed client satisfaction survey (CSS) after every search assignment. We actively seek feedback from our clients and candidates, identifying any issues from which we can learn in order to improve the quality of our service in the future. We follow up the placed executives and make ourselves available to the client and successful candidate if they need any assist through boarding and probation period.
