Executive Search

 

Our Executive Search model is the ideal solution for senior, confidential or particularly tricky-to-fill positions.

Our deep knowledge of food and drink manufacturing and our experience of headhunting will guarantee success.

Here’s our approach:

 

Consult:

  • Meet with our clients to understand your business objectives, your culture and the specific requirements for the position.
  • Clarify the scope of the search, including the qualifications, experience, and attributes of the ideal candidate.
  • Establish clear communication channels and timelines for the search process.

 

Identify Candidates:

  • Use our databases, industry contacts, market research and networking to identify potential candidates.
  • Develop a target list of target companies, agreed with you.
  • Identify both active and passive candidates.

 

Outreach and Engagement:

  • Reach out to potential candidates through personalised messages, emails, and phone calls.
  • Highlight the opportunity and value proposition of the position and your business.
  • Build relationships with candidates, assess their interest and suitability for the position.

 

Screening and Assessment:

  • Conduct in-depth interviews with qualified candidates to evaluate their skills, experience, and fit for the role.
  • Assess candidates’ leadership style, cultural compatibility, and alignment with your objectives.
  • Verify candidates’ qualification, references, and background information.

 

Shortlisting:

  • Present a shortlist of highly qualified candidates to you, along with detailed profiles and assessments.
  • Facilitate interviews between your and the candidates, providing guidance and support as needed.
  • Gather feedback from both parties to refine the selection process and ensure alignment.

 

Offer and Negotiation:

  • Assist in negotiating terms of employment, including compensation, benefits, and other incentives.
  • Liaise with you and the candidate to address any concerns or questions.
  • Ensure a smooth transition from offer acceptance to onboarding.

 

Onboarding:

  • Provide support during the onboarding process to help the successful candidate integrate into your organisation.
  • Conduct follow-up meetings with you and the candidate to ensure any issues are addressed.

 

Throughout the entire process, we guarantee discretion, professionalism, and integrity. As well as placing the right candidate with you, we will act as trusted ambassadors for your business, doing everything we can to positively impact your reputation.
