Search is a methodology employed when the potential candidate source can be specifically targeted. What follows is a methodical and carefully researched operation initially generating a ‘long list’ from a base of target companies and organisations. Comprehensive information on each potential candidate is obtained.

Essentially the research aims to identify individuals within the relevant operating areas including:
•
Direct competition
•
Parallel industries
•
Similar product / technology
•
Specific market sectors
Contact is then made with each targeted individual to determine:
•
Personal interest and suitability
•
Alternative potential candidates
•
Alternative potential sources
From the clients point of view you receive a summary profile of the ‘long list’ candidates shortly after all contacts have been made. A benchmark is then established and a rethink can be effected if necessary on any areas presenting problems.

All prospective and interested shortlist candidates will be interviewed and individual reports in an agreed style will be produced.

All non-confidential market information obtained during the course of the research process can be reported to the client.
