Services

Our services have been developed over several decades with hands on experience to address the key concerns that you will face as you consider your next move.  

Typically:  

• Where should you now focus and direct your efforts so that whatever move you make will be optimal for you, and meet your particular requirements?
•  How are you going to secure the kind of position you have decided on, at the level you want, most effectively?
• Are you sure that you really understand how the job market works at the senior level?
• Are you absolutely clear about what you are looking for?
• Can you demonstrate that you have the required qualifications and experience to achieve your objective?
• Do you have access to the right individuals and organisations to open the right doors and effect introductions to the places you now need to reach?
• Do you really have the time and the inclination that it takes to do yourself justice?

If you are not satisfied with your answers to any of the above, you will let yourself down with your next move.

These are precisely the areas where we proactively help you, so that you can go into the market and be more successful with your next move.

Your Routes To Market

It is also essential to understand the various routes to market and how to use them to advantage.

There are four main options:

 1) Speculative approaches to potential employers

 Statistically this is not the best option.

 2) Responding to press and internet job ads

Other than in the Public Sector, roles at a senior level are generally not advertised in the public domain.

 3) Networking

This can be very effective if you know what you want, know how to do it, and are good at telling people how good you are. Most senior people feel uncomfortable and  ineffectual without proper training and preparation in this key area.

4) Full access to the headhunter community

This is very effective if you can indeed reach all the relevant people, as this opens up a myriad of connections into whatever area you are targeting. This is an extremely difficult option for the individual to be effective on their own account. Headhunters are inundated with unsolicited approaches direct from job seekers, many of which are accompanied by ineffective CVs and poor cover letters. This makes it very difficult for the individual to stand out in the crowd and get an audience.

If you find that you are encountering any of these issues, the good news is that Connaught has a highly developed approach to help you address all of these concerns.
