8. Report
A project report provides certainty in the identification and location of potential
candidates and flags up likely challenges regarding availability and cost. Depending
on the client's needs it can be used to inform a subsequent Search Assignment.
Reports range from high level overviews giving the names and locations of key
individuals of interest for specific purposes through to broad studies of an entire
sector establishing corporate structures in the fields of interest and, where
required, providing salary information. Presented by us in person to allow for
further comment and discussion.

9. Costs
We base our fees on a daily rate and agree the total fee with a
client before taking the brief.
As the duration, detail and urgency of landscaping projects vary
considerably our prices vary to suit our clients’ needs.
If we are awarded a search assignment based on a landscaping
project we usually discount our retainer to reflect the fact that a
portion of the initial research for the assignment has already
been completed.

use him since. His deep knowledge of the industry and extremely wide contacts base provides a
depth of candidates and knowledge which I have found second to none. He and his team back this
up with good comms and a focus on getting the right person for the role. I would highly
recommend him.” September 27, 2011
