In the current economic climate it is more important than ever to recruit the right individuals and retain high performers. Our bespoke Executive Referencing service provides an objective perspective of an individual’s or team’s capability to help achieve this.

The success of our approach is based on many years of experience in professional interviewing and robust referencing. We are skilled in asking the probing questions to uncover unique insight that could rarely be found in a standard written reference or interview. Our reports are concise and ‘to the point’.

The use of referencing is not restricted to external recruitment. It is also a highly effective means of assessing internal talent for the purpose of ongoing training, development and promotion. Our tailored approach generates rich and meaningful data and addresses specific issues as they arise.

We can also extend the referencing process to include an in-depth competency based interview and/or psychometric tools. The output from these is combined with the referencing process, resulting in a multi-faceted assessment of the individual.

Typical Referencing assignments embrace:
Referencing management teams on behalf of private equity house pre deal
Referencing shortlisted candidates to pull out the key differences and to clarify track record
Referencing of recommended candidates recruited through personal networks
Referencing combined with psychometrics to give added depth to behaviours for development purposes.
