How We Work
Every hiring situation is different, and we do not force every client into the same process. Below are the three ways firms typically work with us. If none of them fit exactly, that is fine. Tell us what you need and we will figure out the right approach together.
Permanent Search
Our permanent recruiting and executive search work centers on specialized professionals, senior management and executive leadership across financial services. We begin with the responsibilities and experience needed to deliver, map relevant employers and approach professionals, including those who are not actively looking. Established client relationships may also call for broader staffing support across functions and levels.
Consulting & Interim Placement
A defined project, leadership gap or transition may call for interim support. The scope, expected duration and required experience shape the search for suitable professionals.
Retained & Exclusive Engagements
A retained or exclusive mandate establishes the commitment and responsibilities around a focused search. We discuss the objectives, market coverage, communication and milestones before the work begins.
FROM BUSINESS NEED TO HIRING DECISION
A good search starts before the first résumé.
A title is the starting point. Understanding the work, finding the relevant people and asking the right questions make the search useful.
Define the work
What must this person own? Clarify the decisions, priorities, reporting line and support around the role.
The starting point: A clearer mandate
Map the market
Which firms develop the experience you need? Look beyond matching titles to relevant strategies, products and operating models.
The search direction: A relevant talent pool
Explore the fit
Discuss responsibilities, judgment, motivation and compensation. Give both sides the context to assess the opportunity.
The conversation: Evidence behind the résumé
Advance the decision
Use interviews and feedback to resolve open questions. Align expectations around the role, package and timing.
The purpose: An informed hiring decision
Your situation shapes the process.
We can begin with a defined vacancy or a question about how your team should evolve.
How we protect your search
- We do not identify confidential clients publicly without their authorization
- We handle disclosure of employer identity according to the agreed search and confidentiality process
- For searches that call for it, a formal NDA is in place before any company-specific information changes hands
The appropriate disclosure and confidentiality procedures should be confirmed for each specific engagement.
A clear process gives you the information to assess candidates and make your own hiring decision with confidence. These are introductions to our services. Speak with Ramax about your role, timing and priorities. We can then discuss which approach fits the mandate.
