Executive Search
When it comes to finding the best candidates for executive positions, a targeted and strategic approach is essential. At Profile Group, our executive search services are designed to help companies identify, attract, and hire top-level talent that meets their specific needs and requirements.
Using a combination of cutting-edge search tools, industry knowledge, and an extensive network of contacts, we are able to identify and attract the most qualified and experienced candidates for each executive search assignment.
Our Value Proposition
• Profile Executive focuses exclusively on Senior Finance and Commercial at both the SLT and Executive level, meaning we deliver a true local search.
• Our history, deep market knowledge, and networks across the local market spans across 25+ years of combined experience operating within the Canterbury region.
• Our approach is based on local search methodologies. LinkedIn searching and advertising on Seek won’t usually find the right, high calibre talent, as these individuals often need to be approached. Knowing when they are ready to be approached is an even more complex part of an ‘Exec Search’ process.
• We pride ourselves on our extensive local network and knowledge of the local economy/business community. We also have a network of national and international recruiters we can partner with for a wider ‘search’ should it be required.
OUR PROCESS & EXPECTED TIMEFRAMES
Extensive brief taken and discussed, ideally face to face.
Informal presentation of our local search results within 5–7 working days following the brief
From here, we would work closely with you on finalising a shortlist, ideally ready to interview the following week. Where possible, we would recommend interviewing the most suitable 4–5 candidates to ensure you have undertaken a full review of market capability.
Our target time frame of being at the ‘preferred candidate’ stage would be 3–4 weeks from the presentation of an informal longlist, which will be based on having a clearly mapped out process between Profile and our clients.
References, MOJ and Credit Check will be completed on the preferred candidate, and we can also provide Psychometric Testing (personality and cognitive) on request, recommending the best options to meet your needs.
Notice period tends to be 1 month from resignation, but it should be factored in that it can be 2 or 3 months.
