Executive Search and Selection
Identifying. Finding. Hiring.
Our Method
1: Filling out the Job Requirement Form
The Job Requirement Form contains more detailed information about the job opening. Our designated consultant works on the Job Requirement Form during a meeting or phone call with the Hiring Company. In case there is no job description, this form will be used for input.
2: Arrange optional meeting
We arrange a (optional) meeting between the Hiring Company and our consultant to make sure the company culture is well understood. A thorough understanding of your company and the people you are looking for is essential for a successful presentation of candidates.
3: Searching and approaching Candidates
After obtaining all the necessary information we will commence the search process. We have various methods of searching. A search starts with consulting our extensive database and our extensive networks. To contact potential candidates we use direct approaches, cold calling techniques, personal contacts and related business events. The candidate often needs to be made aware of the new opportunity as most employees are not actively searching for another job.
4: Short listing and Interview
Selected candidates will be short listed and checked with the Hiring Company before conducting the interview with us. After passing the shortlist-check the candidate will be scheduled for an interview at our office or, when discretion is advised, in a public venue such as a hotel or restaurant. In most cases the interviews will be conducted by two of our consultants where both consultants alternate the interviewer and the observer role. Interviews will always be held in the English language.
5: Assessment
Nowadays it is more common for the candidate to be assessed on their abilities. See our assessment page for detailed information on this subject.
6: Presentation and Interview Report
Once the interviews have been conducted, the strongest candidates will be presented along with an interview report of the candidate. The interview report will contain information such as relevant working experience, suitability with the company culture, attitude, skills, motivation, personality, current salary, salary expectation and test results (optional).
7: Interview with Client
We will set up the interview(s) between our candidates and the Hiring Company. The interview will usually be held at the Hiring Company or a venue of their choice and can be attended by one of our consultants on request.
8: Negotiation and Finalization
In case the candidate is the right fit for your company, you can initiate the negotiations or ask us to do them for you.
