📢 Introducing By Appointment Africa’s new service: 𝗖 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Sometimes the candidate has already been found...
They may have come through your own network, an internal process, a board recommendation or another recruitment route.
The question then becomes: are they genuinely the right person to lead the organisation?
That is where this service adds value.
Senior level interviewing requires much more than working through a standard list of questions. Experienced executives are often highly polished interviewees. The real skill lies in knowing where to probe, when to challenge an answer and how to test whether the experience being described is truly relevant to the role.
By Appointment Africa provides an independent, experienced perspective before a final leadership appointment is made.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀:
• A client briefing to understand the organisation, role and leadership priorities
• Review of the job description, CV and relevant candidate information
• A tailored C Suite interview
• Assessment of strategic thinking, commercial judgement, leadership style, emotional intelligence and cultural compatibility
• A written evaluation covering strengths, concerns and areas requiring further investigation
• A clear recommendation on whether to proceed
• A feedback discussion with the client
We look beyond rehearsed answers to understand the substance and scale of a candidate’s experience, how they think, how they make decisions and how they respond under pressure.
This is a standalone service. By Appointment Africa does not need to have conducted the original search.
It can be particularly valuable for companies without a senior HR function, family businesses, boards, foundations and international organisations making leadership appointments in Africa.
For clients considering two or three final candidates, we can also assess each individual against the same criteria to support a more informed comparison.
Psychometric assessments, reference checks and additional interviews can also be added where required.
