We maintain a flexible approach to each search and view every assignment as unique. We are however able to draw upon experience gained in previous searches within the same industry or in similar functional areas and tailor our efforts to meet the specific needs of the client.

If you are a potential candidate, you may submit career details for consideration here.

Before an assignment begins we sharpen our knowledge of the client's company, its business-strategy and operating markets, its organization and management structure. And a clear understanding of its values and culture, as well as its own way of handling its human resources. This phase allows us to gather essential data for the search and also to establish the most appropriate solution for our client. Often our experience and per- spectives as consultants help clients assess the demands of the position, the qualifica- tions of the individual who can best fit it, and the client's expectations in light of the market place.

Once consensus is reached on the requirements of the position, together with our client, we prepare a job description. What is the real scope of its responsibilities, reporting lines, global package and other fringe benefits.

A profile of the ideal candidate is then defined in terms of specific technical and experience qualifications, as well as leadership and other personal requirements.

The job description and the candidate's profile, are subsequently submitted to the client for formal approval.

A critical component of our success is systematically identifying target industries and service companies that are privileged sources to qualified candidates. For each assignment, we formulate the strategy most likely to identify a candidate population matching the job description and the person profile.

Complementing the technical resources of our research team, our consultants cultivate personal contacts with top executives in industrial, distribution, financial and other service companies. These contacts allow our consultants to maximize every opportunity to search for the most qualified candidates for each assignment.

We believe it is essential to work closely with the client at every stage of the progress and therefore in addition to keeping our client apprised of major developments we schedule a progress meeting at which we discuss the candidate population that we have identified and profiled. This enables strategy to remain absolutely aligned and for us to present our logic for interviewing the long-list of potential candidates.

The preceding phases generate a short-list of prospect candidates. Our consultants respect rigorous ethical procedures in approaching potential candidates. All conver-sations are processed in absolute discretion and confidentiality, without revealing the identity of our client if this is the client's wish. Each candidate is personally interviewed to appraise how he/she matches the approved profile. In this phase we analyze in full depth the candidate's personality and professional goals for the future, to ensure that they fit into the position offered.

This phase is very important in our operating methods. After we have submitted to the client a confidential report about the final candidates, the first personal presentation of these candidates to our client, will be made in our offices, whenever possible. Our offices are discrete and centrally located. These procedures assure an adequate protection of our candidates, until a final mutual decision is agreed.

When the preferred candidate is identified and both client and candidate have expressed an interest in working together, we contact references able to comment in depth upon the candidate's leadership ability, integrity, technical competence, achievements and personal characteristics to support impressions gained during interviews. The candidate will be informed in advance that these confirmations are going to be processed and local laws regulating privacy will be respected. These references supplement the professional evaluation of our consultants and they represent an additional guarantee to our client that the candidate fully matches all the requirements.

We may help our client in the final negotiation process, structuring an adequate compensation package, and other fringe benefits, in order to attract the selected candidate. An important item of this negotiation is the definition of a detailed job description, establishing areas of responsibility, performance objectives and evaluation guidelines.

Our consultants will continue working with the client and the candidate, to ensure a successful integration. Over the next six months, we maintain dialogue with the client and the successful candidate so as to assist in averting any problems in adjustment.

We ask our clients to measure us in terms of expectations measured against output and we ask our clients to fill out and return a Quality Evaluation Questionnaire, in order that we may provide an even better service during the next assignment.
