HOW WE SEARCH
Our Manpower Consultants begin with defining and developing a comprehensive understanding of the context for the Search.
Right Step headhunters assess market availability, use comparative benchmarking and headhunt candidates who not only have the required experience and expertise but are the correct cultural fit with the client organisation. A senior Executive Search Specialist is involved in every search assignment until its successful completion.
Typically, a client team comprises multiple consultants with respective industry expertise who work under a Senior Search Consultant who also is the primary interface with the client.
The context driven process includes:
1. Planning & Insight
Context Assessment
Following extensive consultation with the client about their recruitment needs, we develop a comprehensive understanding of the client organization, its business divisions, structure, business goals, culture as well as the specific recruitment requirements. The reasons why the job would be attractive to potential candidates are also carefully noted.
Context Brief
The objectives of the executive search assignment are defined and Right Step creates communication brief / materials that describe the opportunity and the organization for potential candidates. We lay a lot of emphasis on positioning of the client in right perspective with candidates.
Contextual Intelligence

Headhunting Strategy
A specific executive search target is drawn, often calling on the contextual experience and creativity of the consultant. This is a critical step because it defines the direction of the executive search.
