Our Process
In-depth. Detailed. No stone unturned.
1. Preparation:
We take time to thoroughly understand your business and team. This includes researching staff profiles, meeting with leadership and junior staff to capture the company’s culture and goals, and developing inclusive job briefs. We identify what sets your company apart, create a candidate brochure, and where necessary, agree on an enticing marketing campaign, which can include written, audio and video content. We also agree on timeframes and interview schedules. We also benchmark salary and reward structures for comparison.
2. Market Mapping:
We research competitors and map relevant firms to build a comprehensive talent pool. Using LinkedIn, our curated database, and referrals, we target potential candidates, including untapped talent. This being said, our existing unrivalled network is our strongest asset. We give you access.
3. Engagement and Assessment:
We use marketing, headhunting, and our candidate brochure to engage candidates. We assess skills, qualifications, and commitment through interviews, off the record references, and pre-screening assessments. All candidates go through a rigorous vetting process.
4. Presentation:
We present detailed candidate packs with CVs, experience matrices, and suitability letters. We offer anonymised shortlists if needed. We will meet to present to you our finalised shortlist, including a market report detailing our search and all its' findings.
5. Success:
We will manage the interview, offer and resignation process to ensure a successful exit strategy and smooth appointment for all parties. Our lengthy guarantee period allows you to assess the appointed candidates suitability, while we provide guidance at every stage.

Chief Operating Officer

Finding the right person for our new Chief Executive Officer role was vital to develop our business. Robert at Oyster came highly recommended and I can see why. He took on lots of information very quickly, understood exactly what the business needed, and in a very short time he had put together an excellent selection of candidates for the role. Because of this service and professionalism, we appointed a few weeks later.
