Great question and the timeline to complete the Verification Process is really based around your availability and what works best for you. You will be engaging with six Verification Partners over six separate zoom calls, lasting anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, and of course there will be occasions where you might wish to have other members of your team present during those conversations. We have supported companies who have completed the Verification Process within two weeks whilst others might take a little longer based around matching up diaries and availability. To give you the time you need, we allow up to six months from completion of the Company Commitment Survey to achieving Includability Committed Employer status.  If you need just a little more time beyond that then we’re always there to support.

What is Executive Search Recruitment?

Executive Search
B-Corp
Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Executive Search focuses on finding and placing executive/senior leadership in key positions (up to Board level) usually with a growth, change or transformation agenda. It requires a tailored and professional approach across a very specific network of relevant talent. Search incorporates an in-depth, targeted approach utilising specialist and innovative technologies and expertise to source and engage talent that can deliver on the strategic objectives and needs of the business. Executive Search will usually incorporate some form of Psychometric or behavioural psychologist assessment within the process or prior to an offer.

Why use Executive Search?

Executive Search
B-Corp
Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Executive Search is best used where a business needs a specialist and professional service that will guarantee the delivery of a suitable hire for the position required. It is often used where a business critical hire is needed usually at a senior leadership or board level. It can be used to embed an operationally efficient and highly professional process that reduces commercial downtime of your existing leadership or can be used to keep a particular senior leadership hire confidential.

Some organisations will also move to Search where the traditional contingent recruitment methods have failed to produce a suitable candidate, however this is not recommended as often candidates can be put off by a poor inefficient process. Typically you would use an Executive Search campaign where the position is both a senior leadership role and would be classified as a 'business critical' hire from a technical, specialist or experience perspective. Equally it can be used where you wish to attract talent that sits outside of your traditional industry networks or specialisms.

What's the difference between Executive Search and Headhunting?

Executive Search
B-Corp
Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Typically Recruitment forms the broader and most common classification around hiring talent and is typically associated with low to senior level contingency hiring; paying for the service only once a suitable applicant is hired and starts. Headhunting is the term used for proactively mapping, selecting and approaching potential talent in a way that engages and appeals to their interest and opens them up to further conversations. Executive Search is the holistic term that incorporates a full workflow of systems, technology, expertise, networks and information to provide a highly powerful, targeted and professional service and talent experience that is reflective of the hiring business, it's people, culture , values and purpose. Executive Search will also involve a contractual appointment of a professional Search business and the relevant partner/consultant who is best placed to source and deliver on the job or role brief. Typically this is managed exclusively and through a retained structure where you pay for the services you require up front.

What types of Executive Search services do you offer?

Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Our process starts with gathering the information we require. This includes understanding your company culture, strategy, vision, purpose, needs, and desired candidate profile. We need to understand what is great, good and not so good about your business. Where you can improve and what you do great. We want to know how you support and develop your people and the aspects of your business that will appeal and attract world class talent to want to join you. We will want to get to know you and everything about the opportunity we will present to potential hires. We then employ a combination of research methodologies, networking, innovative search technologies and targeted outreach to identify and contact potential candidates. We then spend time getting to understand them before presenting the opportunity to attract and engage their interest. Through subsequent meetings and calls we then build a rapport and understanding to enable us to assess all potential candidates before moving to a shortlist of suitably qualified individuals. We then present these back to you with some commentary usually in person or virtually with a view to setting up initial discussions/meetings/interviews. We manage the process from inception to offer, start date and beyond ensuring you have the right information you need at every stage of the process.

Sometimes this will include presentations and/or meetings with Psychometric profilers and/or Behavioural Psychologists.
