The search for executives represents genuine business consultancy for us, not merely a recruitment activity. Therefore, our work begins by gaining a deep knowledge of the client organisation, to be able to understand better the requirements of the position and of the profile of the candidate solicited by the client. In this way, we aim to present not only the best candidates that there are in the market, but also those most suited to the client’s culture.
Ward Howell counts on a specialist research team that identifies and contacts the best national and international candidates in the market, undertaking a meticulous investigation into the appropriate sectors and companies, as well as sifting both through our database, which we update constantly, and using our contacts and professional references.
Our consultants evaluate candidates by means of in depth, face-to-face interviews, analysing their strong and weak points with respect to the position. We like to participate actively in the final offer negotiations and undertake the important due diligence checks regarding qualifications claimed by candidates and the taking of references on the candidates from their former employers.
Finally Ward Howell will keep in close touch with the candidate selected after he or she has joined the client, ensuring that the integration into the role is as smooth as possible.
