Assess
Before we undertake any assignment, we give an objective opinion of how the role will be perceived by potential candidates. We also consider the possible issues which may be encountered, the likely timescales of how long the process will take and when the successful candidate will be on board.
We then rigorously consider our approach to the mandate, the realistic sources of candidates and how we will go about finding them.

Shortlist
By screening and interviewing a long list of potential candidates, we generate a qualified shortlist of candidates who have been rigorously assessed by us for their relevance to the job specification, personality and cultural fit.
We present the shortlist to our client in an agreed timeframe and facilitate the interview process with the selected candidates.
