Our process:
- Research: to identify the complete target audience of relevant individuals, teams and companies.
- Interview & Assessment: to understand and assess their experience, expertise, personality and impact.
- Candidate shortlist presentation: to share our full candidate assessment and recommendations.
- Client Interview Process: ensure candidates are thoroughly analysed against predetermined criteria.
- Hiring & Onboarding: ensuring transparency on how best to manage, develop and retain the new hire to ensure maximum impact.
A Focus on Impact with The GC Index
The GC Index is embedded the eg.1 search Process to provide all candidates, hiring managers and key stakeholders with a common language of impact and contribution to help align all expectations and mitigate any risks in the hiring process.
Pre-Briefing Meeting:
Our client or key stakeholders take The GC Index® profile for themselves. We will provide them with feedback on their profiles and highlight their individual and collective impact and contribution as part of your Pitch/proposal.
We also provide the impact profile of our assignment team to ensure we all know how each of us want to best make an impact.
Briefing Meeting:
We use The GC Index® language and framework to ask our clients what impact and contribution they require the successful candidate to make.
It is very efficient to make reference to the individual and team profiles we have already provided to illustrate the impact of the existing team and work with the client to identify how the successful candidate’s impact and contribution will integrate into the team.
Shortlist & Selection:
During the interview stage we utilise The GC Index® to test candidates and identify their impact. The GC Index enables us to leverage the resulting profiles to demonstrate the differences in impact and contribution between candidates.
We make reference to the team profiles you have already provided to illustrate the positive and negative implications of each candidate’s impact in relation to that of our client’s team.
On-boarding:
We leverage The GC Index® profiles of the successful candidate and the existing team to support our client in understanding how best to integrate the new hire.
Finally, we use The GC Index® to profile the hiring manager (if not already done), using this to offer the client feedback on how to ensure a positive working relationship between the hiring manager and the successful candidate.

Our Testimonials

European HR Manager
“We engaged with eg.1, as a new partnership, to help us source the digital and ecommerce expertise we were looking for. Considering this was a senior role to lead a newly created European team, our requirements and timelines were challenging. The eg.1 team were excellent. They managed this ambiguity with a professionalism that was clearly rooted in their in-depth knowledge of the market. Managing multiple stakeholders within our business, the team navigated this with ease to provide us with a first class candidate.”
