Our approach to executive recruitment is based on high-quality, research-driven search execution.

We are committed to maintaining a high level of ethical standards and integrity with both clients and candidates and, as such, make every effort to ensure that our methodology and process is transparent during the entirety of each search project.

A thorough briefing is an essential preliminary to every search. An appreciation of the management style and personalities involved is crucial. It is also vital that we fully understand the role and its significance to the overall plans of the organization. We must be able to represent our client to the greatest possible advantage to potential candidates. Meetings with Board Directors, Search Committee, hiring managers and relevant senior colleagues of the appointee are particularly valuable in judging the 'fit' of candidates.

Following the briefing, Bridge Partners provides the client with a comprehensive Assignment Specification, based on the briefing discussions and any internal job descriptions. This document is used to inform and attract potential candidates - it introduces the company, describes the position in more detail, and specifies the characteristics sought in the person to be appointed. It also confirms that we have fully understood your requirements.

Bridge Partners' approach to search is strongly research-based; we carry out original market and candidate research for every assignment undertaken. This process is vital to the successful completion of a search. The research is comprehensive and the results are made available to you.

We source candidates through a combination of our informal and database-driven networks, research-oriented process, and proactive candidate approaches. An aggregate of these methods ensures that we are maximizing our coverage of the marketplace, enabling us to locate and evaluate true impact executives.

Potential candidates are contacted, introduced to the search opportunity, developed, and pre-screened. Appropriate, high caliber candidates will be interviewed either in person or via video-conference by the assignment lead consultant.

Bridge Partners will select from the interviewees a shortlist of the best-qualified candidates. These individuals are then presented to the client, in the form of a report consisting of the candidates' career resumes with detailed background comment and opinion.

Following the necessary interviews with the client organization, an offer of employment will be extended to the preferred candidate. We ensure thorough reference checks are carried out on this candidate and we will assist the client where necessary in offer negotiations, and in the often-delicate formulation of a suitable compensation package.

We make a point of contacting the client and the appointed candidate after a period of approximately six months to be satisfied that we have completed our task
