- Evaluating candidates using evidence-based interviewing techniques, reference checks and other relevant tools
- We specialize in highly confidential and sensitive top management searches
Search Methodology
In order to make our search as accurate and effective as possible, we use a variety of resources to identify the best qualified candidates to solve our clients’ business needs.
Sourcing methodology used by Arthur Hunt:
- Direct search, where our Research Department sources talent directly from the companies defined as targets, and approaches them to ascertain their initial interest and suitability for the given project before they pass into our final talent pool
- Market references and networking – by discussing the profiles with a network of our personal contacts (well informed market sources, industry experts and key opinion leaders), our consultants are able to identify further relevant potential talent
- Internet-based sourcing – community sites provide further networking opportunities
- Arthur Hunt’s proprietary international database of candidates is continuously updated and supports regional searches (40,000+ relevant entries)
