OUR APPROACH


We employ a rigorous and proven methodology to ensure that clients secure the most suitable and high calibre candidates.

Each assignment is personally led by one of Curtis Murray’s partners, drawing on their extensive experience in identifying, evaluating and appointing exceptional talent.

4. Offer stage

Once the client has selected the preferred candidate, we guide both parties through the formal offer negotiation process, ensuring that the client’s interests are fully protected throughout. We remain closely engaged with the candidate during the resignation period and, if required, oversee the completion of all contractual formalities to ensure a smooth and successful transition.



3. Shortlist

Following a thorough screening and interview process, we refine the longlist into a qualified shortlist of candidates who have been rigorously assessed against the role specification, as well as for personality and cultural alignment. We present this shortlist to our client within the agreed timeframe and manage the subsequent interview process with the selected candidates.


2. Research

We undertake a comprehensive research and market mapping exercise across the agreed target markets to identify the most relevant and qualified candidates. This includes assessing talent within direct competitors as well as individuals operating in adjacent or complementary sectors. In addition, we leverage our extensive network of professional and personal contacts to source candidates through trusted referrals and recommendations.


1. Understanding the requirement

Before commencing any assignment, we provide our clients with an objective assessment of how the role is likely to be perceived by potential candidates. We also evaluate any foreseeable challenges and outline realistic timelines for the search process.

In collaboration with our client, we agree the role specification and the desired professional and personal attributes for the position. We take the time to understand the organisation in depth—its business model, culture, and team dynamics—by meeting with key decision makers and those with whom the role will interact. This ensures absolute clarity and alignment before the search begins.
