Find - our dynamic alternative to executive search - builds on this individual assessment experience and reach to help leaders plan succession globally. We present both internal and external candidates for key roles in one standard report ahead of role changes. We make the packaging and the content for evaluating internal and external candidates the same: one, simple succession plan that compares internal and external, like for like, and ahead of time. Find reduces the risk of poor hires or poor promotions or extended vacancies.

Find is a consulting process not a transaction. Globally, we will help clients:

1. Articulate the roles to succession plan and the time sensitivity of each
2. Define the standard for these roles (competencies, experiences, behaviours, etc.)
3. Scope the internal candidates for these roles against this standard
4. Agree external sources of credible candidates against the same standard
5. Identify and qualify both external and internal candidates
6. Once qualified, persuade internal/external candidates to join the succession plan
7. Assess these candidates, internal & external, against the one standard from 2. above
8. Provide positive, development feedback to all candidates, both internal and external
9. Use the analysis in 7. above to measure succession strength for each role and overall covering internal and external candidates to the same standard
10. Monitor and maintain candidate specific changes to this succession plan

Poor hires, promotions, significant or prolonged vacancies, waste time and resources. Poor succession signals weakness; effective succession involves rigour – a systemic, continuous review of a plan and people both inside and outside the organisation. Achieving this, globally, is tough.

We help clients get there. We assess and identify individuals; for hire, promotion, and development. We do this globally (with a presence in 28 countries). To the client’s spec, we provide one global profiling standard – across time zones, cultures, and external/internal talent. We do this face to face and online; for the same price, in 72 hours, anywhere.

On Find we will work with only one client per sector globally. Per role, we estimate that Find™ delivers upfront cost savings of 50% compared to traditional search transactions.
