Defining the client's needs and candidate criteria in a clear Job Description is of the utmost importance. We will establish and agree a timeline that is realistic and mutually acceptable, and agree on a limit of the total amount of time to be spent on the assignment, prior to commencing it.

We are able to compile a list of suitable target companies for contact, or you may wish to provide these.

We then construct a list of possible candidates for each target organisation, using various research methods: desk, telephone, internet, industry directories and mainly our network of academic contacts. We use our charm, insight and technical literacy to identify suitable people in target organisations, operating in a systematic and accountable manner.

We are then able to approach the potential candidates for you, if this is your requirement. We approach agreed candidates in a highly confidential and professional manner and will feed back their interest in a detailed, concise and accurate way, usually obtaining a CV and we will ascertain their suitability and future aspirations. We build mutually respectful relationships with approached candidates and always keep in touch with them to let them know how the project is progressing. We bear in mind that they are being sought, not actively looking.

The identifications report or Short List is usually in table format, containing all the information you need.

We keep you regularly updated on assignment status.

We can give you any other assistance you might need to achieve a successful outcome of your search project eg.
a) Arrangement of interviews
b) Reference checking
c) Helping client with offer negotiations
