Running A Confidential Executive Search

What confidentiality really involves, and how to protect your business and your candidates.

Leadership

Decide who needs to know

The fewer people who know, the easier confidentiality is to keep. Agree a small circle at the start and be clear about what can and cannot be shared.

Approach carefully

Confidential searches avoid public advertising. Consultants approach candidates directly, share only what is needed at each stage and ask for discretion in return.

Protect the people involved

Candidates take a risk by talking to you. Respect that by keeping conversations private and decisions timely.

Plan the announcement

Agree how and when the change is communicated internally and externally, so the news lands well.
