The Process

  • Discovery & Role Clarity

    We start by getting clear on what success looks like, not just the position description but the outcomes, behaviours and cultural fit required. Roles are refined and positioned using market-informed language to ensure clarity, alignment and attraction.

  • Screening & Shortlisting

    All applications are reviewed and screened personally. Shortlisted candidates are assessed through structured phone and video interviews and selection criteria, ensuring you only meet candidates who are capable, aligned and genuinely interested in the opportunity.

  • Market Engagement

    Roles are taken to market strategically through a mix of advertising, direct outreach and my active candidate network. Salary transparency, realistic expectations and targeted messaging are used to improve application quality and reduce wasted time.

  • Shortlist Presentation & Transition

    You receive a considered shortlist, typically 3–5 candidates, presented via an interactive document that includes candidate summaries, assessment insights, salary expectations and availability. I coordinate interview logistics and support the transition through to offer and onboarding.

Every permanent placement is automatically supported by a replacement guarantee as standard.
