Headhunting and Hearthunting
Upon your instructions to recruit a business-critical role, we use our huge database of senior FMCG professionals to start our research of the market.  We call the parts of the market place where we know the top talent resides.  We gain referrals from the most talented people to others whom they most respect for their ability to outperform the category at their seniority.  We call on the people with whom we have the best relationships asking them who the very, very best people are.  We focus in on the people with the best track records and / or potential to progress. 

Headhunting for proven commercial track record, intellectual ability and your other criteria, we also search continuously for individuals with high levels of passion, the high levels of drive that can only come from spirit, emotional intelligence and the people skills that engender team focus and loyalty to your business.

Pre-referencing all candidates, pre-interviewing against your key skills and competencies, ascertaining exact reasons for their career moves, pre-empting the possibility of counter-offers, we will present you a shortlist, present candidates one by one, or target pre-agreed individuals for you.  You receive a synopsis on each candidate with our reasons for presenting them to you, along with their CVs.

It is not unusual for our extremely thorough search process to create such a strong shortlist of 3-4 candidates that you could offer the role to more than one candidate.

Ad-Search
Advertising may be something you want to do additionally, as part of an Executive Search.  You can gain the positive PR possibilities of a high profile advert and use the ad to inform your own market place of developments etc.
