You are a Board of Trustees looking to appoint a new principal for your school or a senior management team looking to appoint a senior colleague (read more). You are looking to work with a consultant who can help you define clearly your requirements for the new person and help you identify the strongest possible short list of suitable candidates who can both do the job and who want to do the job. The consultant needs to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the issues involved in your particular school and have the executive recruitment experience to handle your brief with the sensitivity, diplomacy and passion to make sure you select the right person. In addition to the above you are looking to work with a consultant who will not compromise on the quality of the candidates submitted on the short list. You want to be proactive in your approach and ensure you are selecting from the strongest possible candidates available and not just relying on the quality of response to the advertisement. Also you want to feel that the selection procedure you adopt for such a critically important appointment is both rigorous and fair, using benchmark and profiling techniques to match candidates with the criteria you have set. The whole process should be professionally handled, allow candidates to present themselves in the best possible way appropriate to their skills and aspirations and enable you to make an informed decision based on all the evidence that can be made available throughout the selection process. There is every chance that the person you are looking for may not be looking for a move at the present time, or may be overseas or may never have considered moving to your school. They will be cautious at present and will need to be handled with sensitivity and care – they cannot be forced into a move but may be open to persuasion if approached in the right way. You need to work with a consultancy that can understand who you are and what you are trying to accomplish....can see the bigger picture and has the experience to help & advise you about the internal issues as well as the recruitment process. And who will get it right. We can’t promise to get it right every time, but we will try our hardest to achieve that. You need to be talking to us, please give us a call. |
