• corporate and sector research by our in-house team
• confidential and sensitive approach to the most qualified candidates identified through our sources and other initiatives
• thorough assessment by AHEAD consultants including softer skills as well as professional experience, intellect and cultural fit
• shortlisting and presentation of confidential reports and analyses
• client/candidate meetings and feedback
• advice on final decisions, package negotiation and reference checking
• post-assignment feedback to ensure continuous improvement
• integration planning and follow–up with both parties

This methodology is coupled with our fixed fee approach.
This means that our consultants can provide open, honest and objective views and advice on candidate remuneration whilst at the same time allowing the client to have clear understanding of the recruitment costs in advance.
