Our promise to you
Always grounded in our purpose to improve the way the world is led, we find leaders who will help you seize the opportunities of a dynamic world.
Our approach to finding great leaders
Operating from 47 offices around the world, we work with organizations to bring in new leaders while strengthening those they already have.
Start with the right questions
Before advising on new leaders, we get to know your goals and challenges, and how your top team already performs.
Challenge with purpose
We listen to what you want from a leader, and act with transparency and candor to advise on what you really need.
Put diversity at the center
We’ve led the market in diversity placements for 20+ years, with access to a diverse pool of highly sought-after candidates.
Predict performance
Our exclusive partnership with Hogan Assessment Systems enables you to accurately predict a leader’s ability to deliver tangible results.
Transition successfully
By getting to know your top team and our candidates, we help you create an environment where new leaders bring their experience to bear at pace.
Maintain confidentiality
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our executive search process. It’s vital to a successful experience for your organization and candidates.
How we find the right leader for you
Using our eight-step process, we work with you to find the right candidate in as little as 14 weeks.
-
Kick-off
We analyze your organization and listen to your goals before drafting the role specification. We then work with you to tailor our search plan and timeline.
-
Adapt with you
As we continue to work closely with your top team, we iterate the position specification, confirm a list of target organizations, and build a list of prospective candidates.
-
Screen candidates
Next, we start assessing candidate competences and interviewing internal candidates. Throughout this process, we’ll update you on progress each week.
-
Present candidates
We then share our reports on each candidate with you, giving you expert insight and advice that you can use as the basis for your first-round interviews.
-
Interviews
Following your interviews, we interview and psychometrically test the candidates you want to progress with, and work with you to create a shortlist of great leaders.
-
Candidate selection
We work with you to identify the successful candidate, gathering 360° references and background checks on the entire shortlist, and reviewing their compensation.
-
Offer
Once you’ve chosen your preferred leader, we work to ensure they accept your offer. And we help you announce the successful candidate, both internally and externally.
-
Onboarding
We stay close to the successful candidate through their resignation period to ensure they join on schedule. And we check in 30, 60 and 90 days after joining, and on anniversaries.
