How We Work

Once we are retained to advise on the appointment of a principal it becomes our responsibility to find and recommend the strongest possible short list of suitable candidates, working closely with the Board. Initially we will utilise a specific diagnostic consultancy approach we have developed for Boards of Trustees to help clarify the requirements of the role and individual being looked for. Thereafter we will utilise the most appropriate sourcing and selection methods available and will look to present a shortlist of candidates who can do the job and want to do the job in the quickest, most cost-effective way we can. The following explains the way we work in more detail: 

The Proposal

Once a thorough understanding of the client’s requirements has been established, we will produce a comprehensive proposal to outline how the assignment will progress.

The proposal will include position and candidate specifications, estimated timescales, fee structures, recommended recruitment & selection approach and our terms of business.

The Information Pack

We will draft for client approval an Information Pack which will contain sufficient information to get suitable candidates excited about the opportunity and inform them about the school, the role, the person we are looking for, the package on offer, the selection process we are following and provide other documents and information they will need, including an application form.

This confidential document will be provided to shortlisted candidates to help prepare them for the selection process and is an essential part of the process to ascertain their interest and motivation.
