3. Executive Profiles
Executive Profiles is synonymous with excellence.
Drawing on global resources, we pinpoint high calibre
individuals, securing consistently outstanding placements, bringing a
unique perspective to the process. As European market leader in
several sectors we have a technical bias, yet our approach is highly
successful with a diverse range of global service providers and trading
companies.
Clients with challenging assignments turn to us with confidence. Our
access to candidates knows no limits. Strategic alliances in Europe,
America and Asia, extend our reach to pre-eminent candidates
worldwide.
Executive Profiles provides exceptional people for outstanding
organisations.
4. Understanding
Client understanding has been critical to Executive Profiles delivering a success
rate significantly higher than average.
Our consultants' seniority and consequent depth of business knowledge
guarantees precise analysis of all relevant factors. We gain an understanding of
your company's environment and culture, working effectively within rigid or fluid
structures. We define the role, establish key competencies and agree
timescales - essential functions before we agree a search strategy.

studying growth patterns and identifying trends.
Our professional researchers conduct an ongoing programme, monitoring
specialist areas using a sophisticated series of business search tools, including the
full range of internet options. Dedicated researchers, identifying tomorrow's
information today, ensuring that our service is built on solid foundations.
95% of cold approaches are said to fail. Ours succeed.
Knowledge itself is power - Francis Bacon
5. Campaign Management
On occasions it is appropriate to use an open campaign which can establish
positive foundations by enhancing your company's brand and shareholder value.
Using new and established media, Executive Profiles formulates and
implements carefully considered campaigns to ensure that no stone is left
unturned in our search for the optimum solution.
We are monitoring the ongoing penetration of new media closely, including the
influence of new technology on people's lives.
Pro-active Search
Whether it is used as part of a search that includes an open campaign, or as a
totally discrete standalone method, a pro-active search has the benefits of being
both company and competitor sensitive, whilst ensuring precise timing and
targeting.
As a recognised leader, our high business profile in our geographical markets
facilitates exceptional networking ability, giving us access to all levels of
seniority. Combined with our research programmes, this enables us to pinpoint
less obvious, but equally talented, candidates submerged within a large
corporation.
Our consultants explore the match of candidate to opportunity through 'offline
conversations', using skill and sensitivity, drawing on established business and
personal relationships.
As a result, the business credentials of all our candidates are verified prior to
introduction.
6. Candidate Motivation
Executive Profiles focuses on the image and the shadow, revealing the
complete candidate.
Verification is essential. Candidates make presentations - on video if
required, whilst technical competency interviews reveal depth of
business knowledge. Every facet of the candidate, including recent
events, family and lifestyle, is closely scrutinised - we are aware of every
factor that will influence the decision. Multimedia based
presentation of candidates and global interviewing services are
available, and when the time comes to discuss the offer, we have
considerable experience in salary and contractual negotiations.
Executive Profiles manages the whole process, involving partners,
ensuring they are positive. We handle the change in partners' careers,
even helping to find a new home anything to minimise disruption.
Ensuring the placement is rock solid.
Taking nothing for granted.
