What you can hold us to
The process, answered.
How long does a search take?
Our target is an assessed shortlist within 21 working days of briefing. The time from shortlist to signed offer depends on your interview schedule and the candidate's notice period and we plan both with you at the start.
How involved do we need to be?
You approve the market map, the approach and the shortlist and you interview the finalists. Between those points we run the search and report to you weekly.
How do you keep a confidential search confidential?
We agree with you how the role and the company will be described before any approach is made and we only reveal your name to candidates you have approved, under confidentiality.
What do we see during the search?
A weekly written update and, for Retained Search, 24/7 access to the live pipeline, candidate profiles and feedback through our client portal.
What happens if the hire leaves?
Every Retained Search and Priority Search placement carries our 12-month written guarantee: a free replacement search to the end of month three, 50% off the replacement fee to the end of month six and 25% off to the end of month twelve.
