SCOPE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
As a key member of DHR Global’s London Office, the Associate will be responsible for working with DHR Partners to fully understand client requirements for the executive search. Associates are responsible for developing efficient, effective, and creative strategies.

– The scope of work is to assist Partners in the firm in the development of assignment research and candidate development. They will initiate first-round candidate contact, network with referral sources and effectively and persuasively communicate the opportunity to contacted individuals.
– Following initial contact, the Associate must be capable of assessing the potential candidate’s qualifications against the approved specification. They must also communicate search status on a timely basis to active candidates.
– Successful Associates are able to quickly deliver qualified candidates for review by the Partner with minimal day-to-day direction. Although Associates are principally responsible for initiating contact with candidates, they will potentially have client and candidate interaction.
– Significant portions of our contact time with clients and executives are during “off hours” to include social functions; before and after “business day” meetings; and weekend discussions based on the full executive schedules our clients and candidates maintain at the CEO, Senior Executive, and Board Level.
– Specific deliverables that Associates develop in the conduct of assignments in conjunction with senior executives.
