How we work

  1. The briefing: initial face-to-face meeting where we gain a clear understanding of the client organisational structure, key business drivers and key issues. We will also discuss the job specification, skills, experience and qualifications required
  2. Market mapping: we will agree with the client target institutions in different geographical locations. Should the desired individuals not appear in this initial search, we will expand it to include further banks and locations
  3. Candidate identification: potential candidates are identified from our research, expertise, and an informed discussion with the client
  4. Candidate evaluation: qualified candidates are interviewed and evaluated by us. We carry out informal referencing and qualification checks for shortlisted candidates
  5. Candidate presentation: from the key candidates, we present detailed confidential profiles including: career; biographical data; full remuneration package (current and historical); and full written profile to include expectations and perception about the client
  6. Interviewing: we coordinate the interview process and act as facilitators, providing detailed and confidential feedback
  7. Facilitating: we maintain close contact with the client and candidate to manage the compensation process, ironing out any outstanding issues
  8. Reference checking: we continue with the reference checking process and inform the client
  9. Closing: we re-sell the client's story; get acceptance; monitor throughout the notice period and continue to act as facilitators, as required
  10. Completion
