The GEN’s Executive Search Methodology works to guaranteed timelines and has built-in quality control mechanisms. Constant communication is maintained while our global reach bypasses national boundaries to find the best people.
Proven search processes guarantee a suitable candidate.
• Sources Search: Key industry executives and consultants are approached confidentially to recommend top achievers. These trusted advisers possess in-depth knowledge of the skilled performers in their industry.
• Target Company Search(main method): Key personnel with relevant experience are discreetly contacted in comparable multinational/national companies.
• Database Search: The GEN’s huge database is subject to rigorous, on-going maintenance to ensure its totally accuracy and updating. The search process can be global or in adjacent countries, but is not limited to the target country.
The search continues until the position is filled.
GEN continues to search for new candidates until the preferred candidate signs the offer letter. This ensures that last-minute candidates aren’t overlooked, and if negotiations break down, re-starting of the process is not delayed.
