2. about us
Miller McKenzie was established in 1995 with a simple raison d’etre: “Talent Matters”.
Over the last 20 years we have grown to be the pre-eminent executive recruitment firm
within our specialist industries and we have no intention of slowing down.
With the world of business continuing to develop at an unstoppable pace, our two word
mantra has never been more apt and we are excited to move forward at the vanguard of
executive recruitment within our chosen fields.
Our business is founded on Three Key Principals:
Relationships
We build relationships
based on mutual respect,
understanding and trust. As
a niche recruiter, developing
and maintaining personal
relationships is paramount
and we are passionate about
the people we partner with.
Goals
No two projects are identical.
We know that our success
depends on a meticulous
understanding of your
circumstances, challenges
and goals; both personal and
commercial. Only once we
achieve this will we agree a
tailored strategy to proceed.
Results
Ultimately we are judged on
results. As a niche company
our reputation is built on our
ability to deliver. We work
harder and go further than
other recruiters to ensure
we meet and exceed your
objectives every time.

3. HOW WE WORK
We work to a proven ‘20 Step Process’ to ensure the quality and consistency of our service, which can be
adapted to meet your recruiting needs.
Before we start
1. We’ll meet with you to discuss your recruitment needs, before submitting our Project Strategy
2. You then review and approve the Project Strategy, job specification and SLA
3. We’ll create a targeted recruitment marketing strategy, advertising your opportunity to potential candidates
Search process
4. We conduct market research, exploring direct and indirect competitors and aligned industries where the perfect
candidate might be employed. We’ll discuss this list with you, excluding anyone your business works closely with
5. We’ll identify the prime candidates within these companies and confidentially approach them
6. We’ll review the applicants identified through marketing, and include in the process those who qualify
7. Qualified candidates are thoroughly screened using competency based interview questions, with their motivations
and ‘hot buttons’ identified
8. A longlist of candidates and CVs are presented and discussed
Interviewing stage
10. We can offer psychometric testing for shortlisted candidates, to identify strengths and concerns to address at
interview
11. We’ll arrange a first interview to fit your schedules and handle travel arrangements where necessary
12. Candidates receive a final, full brief on the opportunity and company
13. You will be given a suggested structure for the interview if needed - helping you find the answers you need
14. After the interview, we’ll fully debrief the candidates, gaining their impression of the opportunity and gauging their
level of interest
15. We’ll discuss the interviews with you, providing you with candidate’s feedback, and arrange second interviews with
the most impressive candidates
16. We’ll prepare you and the candidate for the second interview and afterwards fully debrief both parties
Offer and onboarding
17. When you’re happy with your choice, we’ll make the offer on your behalf and handle any negotiation
18. We’ll prepare the candidate for their resignation and a potential counter offer from their current employers - this
is undoubtedly the most critical stage in the process
19. The start date is agreed and confirmed in writing, along with the signing of contracts
20. We’ll keep in touch with you and your new employee as they settle into the job, helping ease the process
