Typical enquiries that led to successfully managed assignments:
“We are looking to fill a Sales & Marketing Management role. Whilst we do want the person to be able to handle some senior level selling and negotiation themselves, the key need is to get someone who has very strong strategic planning and “number” skills, who can achieve success through managing others, not just on the back of their own talent. We have three candidates who all appear quite strong but we’d like to look in more depth to see which of them we should take.”
“We advertised and only got one applicant. He looks reasonable but we are not entirely sure and don’t want to make a mistake, even though we are under pressure to fill the job.”
“The best candidate for the job we are trying to fill seems to
be the person doing it on an interim basis. Her manager is pushing
to appoint her permanently but we feel we need some
objective, external assessment.”
