We make a point of spending all the time necessary with new clients to understand in detail the client's business, goals, requirements and the background to these requirements. We make a point of discussing in full with all interested parties the environment, dynamics and business plan that have led to the need to recruit.

With the client we produce a detailed job description, a comprehensive brochure to promote the opportunity to prospective candidates and a target list of companies from which the candidates should be sought. Our research department then uses this information to identify a long list of suitable candidates. In conjunction with the search consultant the research department interviews them on the telephone and compiles a preliminary shortlist. The consultant interviews candidates on this list face to face, produces a final shortlist with a detailed report on each candidate and provides the list to the client. Finally, the client interviews candidates on the shortlist, chooses one and issues an offer letter. DPSC provides feedback to unsuccessful candidates.

Both clients and candidates are important to us and we keep both fully informed during the whole process of a search. We welcome unsolicited CVs from candidates, acknowledge them on receipt and we make a point of keeping them up to date and under review. Many of our candidates become our clients.
