When to call us

Triggers that usually justify advisory support

If one of these describes your situation, there is normally a structural problem worth solving before the next hiring round begins.

  • A role has been advertised twice and neither round produced a hire the panel agreed on.
  • A new function is being created and nobody internally has done the job before.
  • Headcount has been approved but the structure behind it has not been designed.
  • Interviewers reach different conclusions about the same candidate.
  • Candidates withdraw after the first stage and nobody knows why.
  • Two operating companies in the same group define the same role differently.

And when not to

If you already have a defined role, an aligned panel and a working process, advisory support will add cost rather than clarity. We will tell you that in the first conversation rather than write a proposal.
