Jamie is a consummate professional,
being someone who knows what they are
supposed to do and does it to a high
standard. His industry knowledge certainly
helped in selecting the right candidates for
our particular requirements and as a result
of this have successfully recruited an area
sales manager recently. Jamie helped me
in making my decision to make the move to
my current employer / position through
good communication and the ability to
manage expectations.

How We Operate
We use a blended approach to our assignments, comprising research, headhunting and a
review of our existing network. Our methodology is underpinned by a rigorous approach to
research (in-house) which will ensure we consider as many candidates as possible during the
campaign. This in turn will increase the likelihood of all hires being successful.
Phase 1: Market Mapping
We use various techniques to develop a ‘long list’ of candidates:
Identification and Headhunting
Our specialist in-house research team identify individuals within the target companies that we
agree at the outset of the campaign. Before commencement of the project we would
recommend, pending the detail of the individual roles, to jointly establish a target list of the 15/20
most relevant companies to map. The mapping will include a full breakdown of the identified
organizations’ senior management team. We then analyze this together and agree on who to
approach. These companies will be the most likely source of candidates with the required skills,
experience and knowledge for the role.
Advertising and Social Media
We will also conduct a thorough search of online sources, such as LinkedIn, to ensure that we
broaden the number of candidates that are considered for the role. We can also provide
advertising services if required by the client.
The most suitable candidates will be approached in confidence and added to the
‘long-list’.
Referrals & Database Search
As part of any campaign we will review our existing network of
candidates that has been built over a number of years. Using our
extensive list of contacts we will network to find the most highly
rated people within the industry and approach them in a
confidential manner. Again the most suitable will join
the ‘long-list’.

Phase 2: Developing the ‘short list’
Once we have been given the ‘go-ahead’ for phase 2, we will interview the ‘long list’ of
candidates to assess their suitability and develop their interest in the role.
This stage is crucial and a lot of time will be invested, not just to assess their suitability against
the role criteria and personal / cultural fit, but also to effectively ‘sell’ the role and organization.
After we have completed our interviews we present the client with a shortlist of candidates –
probably 2 to 4 per role– who represent the best available talent in the industry.
The client will receive the candidate’s CV and our profile on their experience, which will be
based on the notes of our meetings with them. This will include the reasons why we believe they
should be considered for the role, strengths and weaknesses, salary, location, qualifications,
notice period, etc.
Selection & Offer Stages
Throughout the interview stages we will remain in close contact with all parties to ensure a
smooth process and we will be available to support the offer and resignation process as
required. We also have a variety of in house psychometric tests available if this is of interest to
the client.
