Our headhunting service is tailored exactly to your requirements. We operate by making contact with suitable candidates by telephone on a confidential basis.

Following a telephone interview we will arrange to interview in person suitable candidates with the objective of providing a shortlist for our client.

It is only at this shortlist stage that the potential candidate will learn of client's identity and full requirements.

What do we require from you?

• A comprehensive job description and person specification
• A guide to objectives and timescales
• Fees are payable on a structured basis. A payment of one third of the fee is required upon commencement of the executive headhunting assignment, one third upon presentation of a shortlist and one third upon appointment.

Executive Headhunting

Headhunting is a deceptively attractive approach to finding the best candidate.

While it’s quite true that many of the best candidates are already employed, serving in and excelling at exactly the capacity you need to fill, the problem is the time, cost, and risk of convincing such an executive to leave a role that they have proven successful in and take a risk in joining your organisation.

In most cases, these outweigh any possible benefits.

The Time Lost in Executive Headhunting

It takes weeks to months for an executive headhunter to network to the individuals who meet the requirements, arrange screening interviews and check references.

And once the headhunter has found a suitable candidate, it can take further weeks or even months of negotiation, offers and counter-offers, and waiting out notice periods and gardening leave before the new executive starts on the job.

The High Costs of Executive Headhunting

Because success cannot be guaranteed in headhunting, executive headhunters require a retainer and progress payments far in advance of – and without guarantee of – the anticipated placement.

And when a suitable candidate has been found, it normally requires an exceptionally lucrative compensation package to entice the candidate to switch jobs.

The Failure Rate of Executive Headhunting

All too often when the executive headhunter has found a suitable candidate the rounds of offers and counter-offers, and the personal issues of relocation and the risks that go along with any change cause candidates to back out at the last moment.

Months of painstaking work can fall apart in just one phone call.
