How we work

Agree the role before starting the search.

We start by understanding the work, the experience it calls for and where you need our support. We agree on the brief and responsibilities before introducing candidates.

01

Define the role with you.

We discuss responsibilities, reporting lines, priorities and budget. If the brief needs refining, we work through the choices with you before the search starts.

02

Assess against the brief.

We assess relevant experience, capability and motivation. You review the shortlist and make the hiring decision, with our assessment to help you compare candidates.

03

Agree the scope upfront.

Your proposal sets out the work, fees and responsibilities before the assignment begins.
