Services

At David Abbott and Partners, we identify suitable candidates through two possible routes: 

• Advertised Selection
• Executive Search

The first is by an advertisement published in the most relevant media. This would normally include the national press, specialist journals, industry sector publications and the internet.

The second is by executive search (headhunting).  This method is normally used when the skill-set required for the position is more specialised and there are a limited number of companies where these skills will be found.  We produce a Target List of the most suitable companies to approach and make discreet enquiries to find candidates of the right calibre and experience who are interested.

In each case the most promising applicants are invited to meet one of our consultants.  Candidates who reach this stage are provided with an Assignment Brief which is drawn up and agreed in advance with the client.  The applicants are assessed against these agreed criteria in order to match their suitability to the position and the client’s culture.

Once a Shortlist has been drawn up, the client will receive a detailed Interview Report together with a Curriculum Vitae for each candidate.
