Elm Hunt's Short list Plan

What we mean by this is...

Calibration first → one success profile, one scoring lens

Before outreach begins, we align CEO/HR/board on what “right” looks like — so interviews don’t drift and shortlists don’t stall.

1
2

Evidence-led screening → proof over titles

We screen for outcomes, governance fit, and stakeholder handling — not just impressive job titles or brand names.

Assessment-ready finalists → board-safe under pressure

Finalists are stress-tested for interviews, assessments, and tough stakeholder scrutiny — so they don’t crumble late-stage.

3
4

Cleaner close → discreet process, fewer dropouts

We keep outreach controlled, protect confidentiality, and manage counteroffer risk — so the hire closes smoothly.

Servicing Our Select Clients

We work with a small number of clients at any one time, supporting leadership hires where judgment, discretion, and sector understanding matter as much as speed.

Whether you’re strengthening an executive team, navigating a sensitive transition, or hiring for growth, our approach is relationship-led, research-driven, and grounded in real market intelligence — not volume recruitment.

We engage on a selective mandate basis, ensuring focus, confidentiality, and senior-level attention on every assignment.
