Our approach to Executive Search

Michael Page executive Search logoWe recognise that both our clients and candidates are unique and that our solutions must reflect this. To tackle your assignment, we need to establish what is unique about it.

A dedicated consultant

Our nationwide, in-house teams are comprised of executive search specialists who pride themselves on their ability to add value. One of these experts will be your dedicated point of contact for the duration of the assignment and will leverage this proximity to get a feel for the culture of your business, the motivation behind the hire and the challenges of the role.

A global network

Armed with a comprehensive brief, your consultant will leverage a combination of grassroots knowledge and global reach to compile a qualified shortlist. Additional resources available to them include an industry leading database of candidates developed over 30 years and in-house capability to create and target on and offline advertising campaigns.

Thorough screening

The shortlist will be subject to a thorough screening process to ensure they’re as good a match as they seem. At this crucial juncture we don’t believe in cutting corners, employing 360 degree referencing to elicit detail from managers, colleagues and direct reports.

End-to-end care

Nor does our duty of care end with vetting the shortlist. Ours is a truly end-to-end service:

  • Timescales agreed prior to sign off and rigidly adhered to
  • Regular progress reports keep you abreast of developments
  • In-depth candidate shortlists presented in person
  • Comprehensive management of interview stage
  • Contracts negotiated on your behalf
  • Impetus maintained to guarantee successful outcome
  • Confidentiality observed throughout

Peace of mind

We are aware that for the duration of the assignment we act as representatives of your business. Recruiting at this level means negotiating with some very influential people, the opinion of whom could directly impact upon your reputation. Our candidate care team exists to ensure that the professionals we contact on your behalf receive a service that is exemplary in its courtesy and efficiency, safeguarding the integrity of your brand.
