Whatever internal processes you may have in place for recruitment at the more senior end of the management scale, they carry no guarantees of success, require management time and inevitably distract from other important matters. Furthermore, the potential for embarrassment is ever-present should your own efforts to attract the most respected people in your industry involve contacting your competitors directly.

PGC would always recommend that the ultimate decision-makers sponsor the recruitment of senior management. However, after the initial briefing every aspect of the process leading to the presentation of the shortlist can be entrusted to PGC. We add considerable value by identifying and rigorously evaluating potential candidates, as well as being proficient in the time-consuming transactional elements of the recruitment process.

Everyone approached, or applying, for a position with a PGC client should feel that they have had every opportunity to make fully and fairly their case as a candidate for the role. Each and every candidature is assessed against pre-determined criteria and all involved should acknowledge the objectivity and impartiality of the process through which they came. We aim to provide recruitment advice and services of the highest quality and having done so for many years it should come as no surprise that PGC’s new clients are often PGC’s former candidates.

Not only do PGC clients secure the best available talent, their public reputations are enhanced by running recognisably thorough recruitment assignments that adhere to current best practice.
