Search or Headhunting may well be the most appropriate recruitment solution if you are seeking to appoint at General Counsel, Regional Counsel or Legal Director level or for other highly specialist or sensitive Senior Counsel positions.
Hiring the right key lawyer can significantly impact on your business success. You will want to ensure you have the opportunity to consider and recruit the best available legal talent. The lawyer(s) that you desire - those that are best suited to your needs - are likely to be highly successful, highly valued and fairly content within their current environments. The priorities of such individuals generally do not involve screening recruitment adverts or registering on recruitment agency databases, so targeting them through such methods will often yield very restricted results.
Finding the best available talent is not an easy task. However, partnering with an expert Search firm gives you the opportunity to target both the inactive and active markets and maximise the likelihood of securing the best legal talent available. The Search process leads to the presentation of a carefully screened shortlist of candidates, many of whom will also have been recommended or referenced from multiple sources during the process.
Sourcing the best business-minded lawyers for multinationals - respected lawyers with proven track records able to proactively navigate the legal landscape - is a highly specialist task and this is our niche. We tenaciously seek out the best the market has to offer and thrive through taking ownership of challenging assignments and delivering outstanding results.
Our working procedures are thorough, discreet and are tailored to meet the needs of our clients. Developing a full understanding of your needs, culture and values and defining your objectives are our first priorities. Having provided a realistic assessment of the likely outcome, we would then agree procedures, off-limits targets, discuss any potential client conflicts and provide a project proposal. On sensitive assignments you can maintain complete control over to whom and when your identity is disclosed.
We thoroughly research the relevant market sector for each assignment identifying the best candidates who are then selected, approached and assessed. During the process, we will often take up informal references from people who have worked with the lawyers we target to get a real picture of what they are like hence minimising the risk of unsatisfactory hiring decisions based on formal references. The compilation of shortlists is done in consultation with our client, concise but full and factual assessments are provided and we work closely with you to ensure the interview and offer stages progress smoothly to a successful conclusion.
We always value the opportunity to discuss with prospective clients how we could meet your needs.
