Pursuing new opportunities to advance your professional career is a serious, confidential, and discreet business.

When you receive a call from an executive search consultant, what should you expect as a candidate?

Regular Progress Updates

As a candidate, you are entitled to know what to expect as the search process unfolds. At Human Capital Alliance, we will make sure you are kept fully informed.

For example, what is the anticipated time line for the first round of interviews? If you make the first cut, what happens next?

In particular, be prepared at any stage in the proceedings to ask, how long will this take? Whom do you have to meet with before a decision is made? What time line is the client working on? What is the next step?

The completion of an executive recruitment assignment can often take several months, with many steps between initial contact and the ultimate hiring of the successful candidate.

Once you become an active candidate, we will communicate with you in a timely manner at every step of the process. This means proactively updating you on the progress of the search as well as responding in a timely manner to any inquiries initiated by you.

If at any point in the process the client decides not to proceed with your candidacy, we will provide as complete an explanation of the client’s decision as possible.
