The Search Process

The search process is systematic and thorough and is managed by a partner of the firm. This means that the greatest experience is brought to bear on every assignment and enables us to help the client refine and focus the search objectives and to produce a detailed brief. A key component of the Leaders Unlimited executive search process is the appointment of the best-suited consulting team for the assignment.

By understanding the client's culture, the requirements of the position and the success-related criteria we are able to develop an appropriate sourcing strategy for each search assignment. Progress is reviewed regularly with the client, and strategy review sessions held as appropriate where we detail targeted organisations and individuals, highlighting qualified candidates. During these sessions we give feedback on market reaction to the client and the post, comparative salary data, any other pertinent information and summary profiles of qualified candidates.
