How a search actually goes

    The brief

    Forty-five minutes. The work, the manager, the number. If it is fuzzy, we say so.

  2. 02

    The shortlist

    Four people, not forty. You meet them within ten days, with context, not a CV dump.

  3. 03

    The conversations

    We prep both sides. No surprise salary. No mystery process.

  4. 04

    The offer

    We stay until someone starts. Then we check they are still glad they did.

Two doors. Same desk.

Hiring managers send a brief. Candidates send a CV. A person reads both.
