Our
Search Principles
We believe that every search assignment is a placement of trust
by our clients to find them the best candidate, and a placement of confidence
by our candidates to find them the best fitting job. To promote a successful
search we aim to live up to both expectations by our governing beliefs:
Confidentiality
Clients' identification is not revealed till a matching of candidates'
specifications has been established. In the same manner, candidates' identities
are held secret until they have been short-listed. No competitive information
is revealed between clients and between candidates. Confidential information
received from clients is used only for purposes of conducting the assignment
and disclosed only to those individuals within the firm, or potential
candidates who need to know the information.
Integrity
We respect the clients' expectations and reasons for initiating a search
and understand the candidates' motives for moving. We believe in securing
fair deals for both clients and candidates in terms of monetary rewards,
which are fair and consistent with skills, expected contribution and professional
caliber. Integrity of our processes and people safeguards the interest
of our clients and candidates.
Professionalism
Each step of our search is carried out with the highest level of professionalism.
Accuracy in finding the right candidates saves time for clients (in terms
of job counseling and retraining) and a good career fit for candidates,
meaning good performance and success. In trying to achieve high accuracy,
we believe in taking time to understand the nature of the job, candidates'
real versus perceived skills sets, the hiring organizations' culture and
belief systems, and candidates' career motivations. We avoid presenting
simultaneously the same candidate to more than one client.
Transparency
We accept only those assignments that will not adversely affect our objectivity
and integrity. Any limitations arising through relationships with other
clients that may affect our ability to perform the search assignment or
any business or personal relationships with candidates that might affect
or appear to affect our objectivity in conducting the assignment are disclosed
to the client. We present information about the client, the position,
and the candidate honestly and factually, and include reservations that
are pertinent and important to the assignment.
Relationships
Though our primary relationship is with the client, we establish professional
relationships with candidates. These relationships are characterized by
honesty, objectivity, accuracy and respect for confidentiality. In building
such relationships, we provide candidates with relevant and accurate information
about the client organization and the position, including the requirements,
risks and rewards involved. We maintain the confidentiality of information
provided by prospective and actual candidates and ensure candidates provide
accurate & relevant information about themselves. We secure the individual's
consent before sharing his or her background information with a client
and advise him/her on the status of their candidacies (including limitations
to advance them) as the search assignment progresses.
