Our Services

Executive Search

We undertake rigorous research utilising both desk research and our extensive network of contacts in order to target the companies and individuals most likely to fit the client specification, involving the client in all stages of the process.

Approaches are handled in a manner which is sensitive to both client and candidate confidentiality. Prospective candidates are thoroughly briefed and a screening interview is conducted to determine 'fit'. Our strict code of ethics obviously means we will not headhunt staff from our clients' businesses.

Interviewing

We will organise all initial interviews which will be conducted by the Director handling the assignment.

Longlist

We will meet with the client to review a longlist of those candidates who are appointable to engage in a holistic shortlisting process.

Shortlist

A final shortlist will be made of those candidates who meet the agreed Assignment brief. We will prepare a written assessment for each person, which will highlight the relevant skills and experience to align with the client brief.

Client Interview

Interviews between the client and candidate will be arranged and confirmed and candidates prepared before and advised of the outcome. All correspondence is handled by Hitchenor Wakeford up to the point when the offer is made.

Offer

A verbal offer is made to the candidate. Negotiation of the remuneration package is undertaken if required. We will then ensure the offer letter is sent and received, confirming a signed acceptance of the offer and produce a detailed reference report on the candidate.
