Executive Search

The world of Executive Search is not simply about matching a client’s requirements with a candidate’s skill set and experience. It’s a rigorous, often international, search process to find the best talent suitable for a very specific challenge and opportunity with clear communication between all parties being critical.

The process often involves numerous stakeholders across multiple geographies. Talent Matrix is used because it reduces time to hire. It also brings a high level of consistency and quality to the interview process by providing all documentation in one place – online. As a candidate, it is better to deal with an employer or a search firm that uses Talent Matrix.

You should know that your prospective employer and their search firm have properly defined the position, and this is a pre-requisite for using Talent Matrix. The recruitment team, internal and external, should have a clear understanding of the requirements. The likelihood of your application being delayed for the wrong reasons or because the ‘right’ people cannot be contacted will be significantly reduced.

Your candidature is already well progressed when you enter the Talent Matrix process.

Talent Matrix offers the prospective employer more exposure to candidates at an earlier stage and the rigour of sound equitable evaluation criteria.

Therefore, from your perspective as a candidate, the chances are that your application will progress more swiftly.

How does Talent Matrix work?

All the documentation relating to the short-listed candidates for a particular role are aggregated and placed on a secure web site. The hiring team, and Talent Matrix, has exclusive access to this site for the duration of the assignment. When used in executive search the Talent Matrix system typically includes media interviews, either audio or video. This allows you to deliver a richer and more meaningful presentation to the hiring team.

As a busy executive, you will understand the benefit of scheduling this interview at a time that suits you, and see the advantage of the hiring team gaining a first impression as soon as possible.
