Executive Search

Executive search is not just about filling a vacancy – it involves finding a creative solution to a business problem. A targeted search is the most effective method of identifying the right person for senior appointments. The best people are often not looking for work and can only be located through a targeted search process.

Most organisations do not have either the networks or the internal resources needed to locate senior candidates. Searching for an appropriate candidate is a specialised skill.

Naiman Clarke has dedicated researchers, a large database, networked computers and consultants who can think laterally. Like the best search firms in the world, we are proud to boast a successful track record, a consultative/problem solving approach, a thorough, disciplined methodology, and a specific commitment to time frames, fees, and guarantees.

Our client plays an active and ongoing role in the search process and is the final authority in the evaluation and selection of candidates. We utilize our experience in executive search, our knowledge of the marketplace, and our skills in recruiting and evaluating applicants to ensure that the best possible pool of candidates is identified for each position.

We feel it is imperative that the client must have maximum input throughout the entire process, not just at the beginning or the end. Therefore, we have designed our process around that concept and provide periodic progress reports throughout to ensure we continue to meet our client’s needs.

Recruitment Services

At Naiman Clarke our focus is on getting it right the first time. Our commitment to quality would allow nothing less. Amongst our proudest achievements is our extraordinary success rate of 98%. This means that 98% of the people we place are still with their employer twelve months later.

To achieve these results we employ a tailored strategy with a range of tactics for every role we recruit for to ensure only the best candidates are presented to our clients.

The Brief
We undertake a thorough brief at the start of our search because we believe that this is a critical part of the recruitment process and is the cornerstone of identifying and singling out the right people.

Identifying Suitable Candidates
Once we have identified our client’s requirements our consultants take a multi-faceted approach to identifying suitable candidates. Like all good recruiters we maintain an extensive database of well qualified, experienced candidates who we can target.

In addition, advertising allows us to attract a large pool of qualified candidates in a relatively concentrated period of time. Another benefit of advertising a position is that it attracts passive candidates (i.e. candidates not actively looking to move) allowing the employer to choose the best candidates – not just the available ones.

Candidate Appraisal
Our clients can expect all prospective candidates to be screened by telephone with questions designed to gauge suitability for the role definition. Only candidates that are likely to fit with a client’s firm culture and philosophy will be interviewed and assessed by our consultants using behavioural based questions. Where necessary, aptitude and psychometric testing, and technical evaluation can be undertaken.

Candidate Presentation
Our clients are presented with a written report and assessment of all suitable candidates together with a curriculum vitae and details of academic achievement.

Interviews
We will arrange the interview with short-listed candidates and provide feedback from the candidates after a detailed debrief following the interview.

Reference Checking
Once the interview process has enabled a client to select candidates appropriate for a role, we are able to follow up with reference checking if required.

Final Negotiations
We can also add immense value by being involved in the negotiation process. As an impartial mediator we can ensure all important aspects are agreed on by both parties to avoid conflicts later.

Post Placement Follow-up
Naiman Clarke will also maintain post placement consultation and contact with both employer and employee at regular intervals to address any issues that may arise.
