What to Expect from a High-Calibre Executive Search Process

Your paragraph text (15)

At Laurence Executive Recruitment, we understand that appointing the right executive is one of the most important decisions your organisation will make. It’s not just about filling a vacancy—it’s about identifying a leader who will shape strategy, inspire teams, and drive sustainable growth.

Our approach is detailed, collaborative, and people-focused. Here’s what clients can expect when partnering with us on a senior appointment:


1. Exploring and Understanding the Position Profile

Every successful search begins with a deep understanding. We take the time to thoroughly review the assignment brief to ensure complete clarity on:

  • The role’s requirements and responsibilities
  • Organisational goals and strategic direction
  • Team structure and dynamics
  • Key challenges and opportunities
  • Company culture and values

By aligning on these elements early, we ensure the search is targeted, insightful, and aligned with your long-term needs—not just a quick fix.


2. Candidate Screening and Interviewing

We conduct a thorough and strategic search to identify high-performing executives who bring not only the right experience, but also emotional intelligence, cultural alignment, and genuine motivation.

Through rigorous interviews and assessments, we evaluate candidates on:

  • Aptitude and technical capability
  • Leadership style and communication skills
  • Adaptability and decision-making
  • Motivations and long-term vision

At every stage, we maintain respectful and transparent communication with candidates, ensuring they have a positive experience and are kept well-informed throughout the process.


3. Shortlist Presentation and Delivery

Following internal collaboration and discussion, we present a refined shortlist of outstanding candidates, along with:

  • Comprehensive candidate profiles and insights
  • Our expert recommendations
  • Interview preparation guidance for your hiring panel

Once a preferred candidate is selected, we manage the next phase—reference checks, offer facilitation, candidate coaching, and resignation support—ensuring a smooth and professional transition for all parties.


4. Offer, Acceptance and Ongoing Candidate Care

Our commitment doesn’t end with offer acceptance.

Laurence stays closely engaged with both the client and the candidate during the onboarding and post-placement period to support a strong, lasting outcome. We:

  • Maintain regular check-ins with your new hire
  • Communicate with you to address any early-stage challenges
  • Offer guidance to ensure the candidate settles into your team and culture

This proactive care ensures stickability and sets the foundation for long-term success within your organisation.
