Management Assessment
Searchco's search professionals are often asked to offer chief executive's advice to Human Resources on the aspects of:

Divestments

Corporate Governance and Board Structure

Organization

Succession Planning

Corporate Culture

Top Team Building

Executive Pay Structures

Downsizing and Restructuring

Diversity

Changes in Strategic Direction

Briefing a New Chief Executive

Searchco (sm) conducts assessments or audits associated with one or more of the above issues. This uses one of Searchco's  core competencies to give a unbiased, confidential and systematic evaluation of the senior management team in a client firm or acquisition candidate.

In undertaking this type of assignment, Searchco does not set itself up in competition with specialist management consultants.  Rather, we work in harness with them, as appropriate. We are continually reviewing the latest ideas and developments in Top-level Human Resources, but typically Management Assessment includes the following steps:

1. Confirmation of Issues - The Searchco team rapidly assimilates the issues and any existing evaluations of the situation through, reviewing documents, interviewing the leadership in the client and of necessary other advisors or others in the industry. We then confirm the objectives, scope and timetable of the assignment with the client. 
2. Assessments - Experienced Searchco Search Professionals with prior experience at senior levels in General Management, Human Resources, or Consulting, objectively evaluate the relevant client team members against the clients' future needs through a review of track record and documented history. We then conduct in-depth competency based interviews. We often work with psychological profiles and specialist professional firms, where the client desires this.
3. Recommendations - The confidential evaluations are then prepared for the clients review, together with recommendations relevant to the specific need, e.g. a succession plan.

Interim Management
Searchco (sm) can supply interim managers in selected locations. Interim management is the use of senior directors and managers, on a short- to medium-term basis, to solve the increasingly complex problems inherent to the current business environment. Issues might include:

A major change in business direction

A merger or acquisition

A new product launch

The need for additional management skills to support the existing team

Illness

Project problems

An experienced interim manager can ensure that transitional problems are dealt with successfully, enabling the company to move forward with its business plan.

Interim management gives your company the edge necessary to effectively manage change, complete projects on a timely basis, add value through new skills or solve your management crisis. Thus, it can secure a significant business advantage for you in achieving your business objectives.

Searchco's interim executives are highly seasoned and experienced professionals who have held senior manager positions, and often board-level roles, within blue-chip organizations. They are well-qualified to bring best practices to each assignment. With most candidates having 15 to 20 years experience, these interim executives bring politically astute, objective and driven attitudes and resources to help you solve the immediate problems at hand.
