While transformation-leaders can complete the hiring process in as little as five days from initial consultation to a candidate starting, hiring for top leadership roles requires careful consideration to avoid failures. The fastest hiring processes still involve selecting a shortlist through interviews and receiving candidate proposals before making a choice. Rushing through important leadership hires risks an unethical mismatch that could damage the organization.

Is transformation-leaders hiring
process fast?

2. The fastest successful hiring we have
achieved from face to face consultation
with the client, to preparation and
approval of the written brief, to the
client choosing a shortlist interviews, to
half a days shortlist interviews, to all
candidates written proposals, to choice
of candidate and agreement is five
days.

3. The chosen candidate then started the
Monday of the week after.

4. BUT hiring anyone to fit in at the top
level of your organisation is a serious
step. You would not want it to go wrong.
In ten years of successful projects we
have only seen one failure, and that was
where the client referred to us by the
senior partner of a top accountancy
practice behaved unethically.

5. So ‘festina lente’ as the Romans said.
‘Hurry Slowly’.
