Research Services
Introduction:
I am a specialist Research Consultant engaged in sourcing high calibre candidates for the UK Executive Search Market.  I am supported by internet access and 20 years experience in the industry.  My goal is to assist consultancies to identify the right level of individual for any level of role from 30-100k.  I can either offer the full research lifecycle through to contacting individuals or offer a part of it.  As I have been trained in competency based interviewing techniques I can very effectively assess potential candidates over the telephone.
The Process:
1) Review job specification and raise a target list of companies.
2) Identify candidates within the target audience and review with client.
3) Contact individuals and discuss job opportunity and assess interest in position. Forward CV to client of interested candidates.
4) On completion of the research programme a comprehensive report is presented of all candidates contacted and all relevant information.
Ethics:
I only present candidates with their permission.
All candidates are kept informed of their progress with a client.
All candidates presented are for clients use only until no longer pursued by them
Costs:
All my fees are charged on a daily rate basis, which given a typical assignment will take an average of 6 days are highly competitive compared to usual search fees of 30% of candidates salary.
