Proactive Search

A proactive executive search is a resource intensive effort that yields strong results. It is particularly effective in situations where talent is scarce, or where a more discreet approach is needed; perhaps where a current role holder is not aware of the need for a replacement or where a team is not yet informed of key changes.

Our Process

Get Started

ANSON understands the needs of the public and social sector through over 15 years of exclusive focus on the space and through the direct involvement of various members of staff on not for profit Boards.

Service Options

Psychometric Profiling

CEO recruitment is often focused purely on the Executive’s experience and particularly in the public and social sectors, the importance of values alignment and positive behavioural traits is sometimes overlooked. ANSON has developed a psychometric assessment specifically for the Public and Social Sector enabling a very cost effective view of a candidate’s Values and Behavioural traits which we can provide for each shortlisted candidate presented. We can also utilise Extended DISC profiling or work with you and your preferred 'tool of choice'.

Team Profile

This type of team analysis will identify areas of strong team cohesion and measure the level of alignment within the team towards desired values. Importantly in the context of Executive recruitment, it allows you to build a picture of what values and/or behavioural gaps exist within your team so you can recruit with this in mind. Shared values and their corresponding behaviours underpin team relationships and positive team work. Through our Team Profile Assessment, we can help you to better assess how a new Executive may or may not fit with the existing team dynamic.

Remuneration

ANSON understands that a review of the compensation package for the role may not be required however our skill set in this area is available if required. Commonly however the CEO and/or Board is concerned about whether current remuneration for the executive management team is market competitive and recognises performance within the organisation. Often executives and/or CEOs haven’t received a remuneration review for at least a year or so, sometimes much longer.

Position Description

An effective Executive requires an appropriately designed position description. ANSON is well qualified to assist in the review or development of a comprehensive and tailored Position Description. Our Human Resource consultants work with you to craft a precise and impactful position description that aligns with your organisation's unique goals and culture. By outlining details of the role, responsibilities and expectations with clarity, we ensure that your Executive is empowered to contribute effectively and is set up for success.

Background Checks

If required, ANSON can undertake the preparation and management of background screening checks to confirm the preferred candidate’s qualifications as per their resume. ANSON will utilise the services of CV Check to conduct comprehensive screening. ANSON do not charge a margin for this service, it is simply passed on to the client at cost. We of course offer the usual practice of candidate reference checking as standard.

Blind or Branded

ANSON generally recommend blind advertising so the identity of the organisation we are recruiting for remains confidential in the initial phases. This is specifically intended to attract enquiries from a broad candidate pool who are genuinely interested in the role and who are unable to form a view on the client organisation without further information. This enables us to speak to the candidate and ensure they are given a balanced, current and informed briefing on the organisation and the role whilst also allowing ANSON to ascertain the candidate’s potential suitability.
