How we work

It’s no secret that talent is the key to success in today’s knowledge based economy. How you find it; how you use it; how you keep it. And talent is rightly a discerning and elusive thing. All too often, the perfect match exists, but barriers prevent the two parties from meeting.

Internet is theoretically the answer, but it actually has had the opposite effect. A victim of its success, Internet provides candidates with access to limitless numbers of jobs. It also gives corporates access to limitless pools of talent. Problem: there’s too much choice. And to believe that the answer is to be found in slick and advanced selection technology is quite simply naïve.

At ExecutiveSurf we believe we have found the answer in a push/pull search model. We harness the power and the reach of the Internet to communicate opportunities to as broad an audience as possible, whilst using traditional, targeted research techniques carried out by trained selection consultants. The result is a talent gateway which spreads its net to all relevant channels to find a given candidate and then selects down to a manageable shortlist using good old-fashioned experience.

Clients can see through our extranet how a search is progressing. They can comment in real time on each profile proposed making the process interactive, so that the researcher’s approach may be honed along the way.

Candidates too can check on the progress of their application via the extranet. Additionally, clients can choose the level of service they prefer from name generation, through approach and selection to full service executive search.
