Our Process

Our Process

The Capital Process

The advantages of a true specialist firm

We have a 7 stage process with 49 individual steps which utilises the firms experience in finance and search to ensure you see the best candidates.

You are probably hiring the best of the candidates that are being presented to you… but are you seeing the very best candidates in the market?

What our process does not include is, running adverts for roles, relying on social media or job boards/portals or using a database of candidates actively looking for a job.

Every role is treated as a new search and we will go through the whole process for every position.
