How we hire: what to expect
Thorough Screening
Thorough conversation with the employer where we discuss the requirements, budget, urgency, timelines etc. and mutually agree a process.

We then create a long list/market map of all candidates that meet the criteria. Typically a list of ~30-40 candidates.
Short List
We start headhunting and speaking to those candidates from the long list. We qualify out candidates that do not meet the criteria and/or interpersonal skills.
Submission
We typically end-up with a pool of 3-5 suitable candidates.
