- Some vacancies are best filled through
a process of detailed research and individual approaches to executives. The occasions when
this is likely to be the most appropriate route are when there are only a few people
qualified to do the job, or when you want to attract high performing executives who are
unlikely to be seeking a move.
Other reasons
may be that confidentiality is essential, or that other recruitment methods have failed.
- This is the most visible recruitment
technique and is frequently used when the skills and expertise sought are widely
available. It may also be appropriate if the client wishes to recruit from outside his own
industry, perhaps to simulate new ideas, or to introduce new skills. Part of the expertise
of effective Search and Selection Consultants is in choosing the best route to finding the
right candidate.
Advertising can also be
highly effective when combined with executive search providing suitable candidates who may
have moved outside of the preferred sector while still potentially interested in the
vacancy.
- Successful businesses need the right people
with the right skills working within them. We can assess the ability of your management
team, both individually and collectively,
We
can also evaluate the potential of individuals within your organisation. Management or
Organisational Audit ensures you know the strengths and weaknesses of your team and can
plan the future accordingly.

- An understanding of an individual's preferred
working style, and likely teamworking role, can assist substantially in getting the best
out of them for the organisation, whilst generating job satisfaction for the employee.
This is just one way in which psychometric analysis can help companies to get the best
value out of their human resources.
Psychometrics can also assist recruitment decisions through gaining a better understanding
of a candidate's personality and motivation. These can be difficult to establish through
traditional selection techniques, yet can be critical to making the right decision.
- Non-executive directors should not only
ensure the integrity of the board's operations but provide independence and objectivity.
They can provide wise counsel and a sounding board for new business initiatives to improve
the quality of strategic decision making. Finding the right individuals with relevant
experience to act as valued advisors, takes time and the right skills.
- Most businesses operate with lean management
structures and short lines of communication. However, the loss of a key executive, or
perhaps the need for urgent project work, can leave some companies exposed.
The use of experienced, skilled managers on a short-term basis to fill these gaps has
become an increasingly valuable option. Our database of executives wishing to take on
interim roles allows us to help fill these gaps quickly.
