Quiet Oak’s thorough yet efficient approach combines in-depth desk research (proprietary database & public sources), targeted networking, and third-party intelligence gathering. This enables us to identify and extensively reference the strongest candidates upfront, before making direct approaches:

• Engagement and briefing

• Draft and agree role description – the foundation of our search strategy

• Commence search across three channels: (i) desk research (including public sources, company websites & LinkedIn), (ii) utilization of our proprietary database, (iii) approaches to third party market sources for commentary, insights and recommendations

• Formation of tailored longlists and shortlists for client approval

• Approach candidates, conduct initial interviews, and deliver detailed candidate reports 

• Steward the full interview process, coordinating and brokering client and candidate feedback. Ongoing candidate benchmarking and standing down candidates in a professional and sensitive manner.

• Advise on offer terms, remuneration and benefits; lead negotiations with chosen candidate as necessary

• Completion. Support appointment, provide resignation coaching and ensure ongoing communication with candidate and company ahead of start date and during onboarding to ensure smooth transition
