The problem

Why a key position stays open for months.

Almost always for the same three reasons.

The candidates worth hiring are not applying

They hold a position of responsibility at another company today. They do not read job ads or keep a CV up to date: they have to be identified and called one by one.

Screening applications drains the person with the least time

Filtering a hundred CVs takes weeks from the very manager who is already covering the empty seat.

A failed hire is paid for twice

First the months of operating without leadership; then the search that has to start over.

That is why we work through direct search and structured assessment: you decide on verified information about every finalist.

What we do

Where is the executive your organisation needs?

Rarely answering job ads. Running a division, building an operation, or newly appointed to a management role at a company much like yours.

Our work is to identify them, research their track record, interview them and assess them against the requirements we define with you at the outset.

Every search is conducted in strict confidence, for your organisation and for the candidate.

How we work

How a search is run.

Each stage produces something you review: the agreed brief, the market map, the shortlist and the reference reports. Nothing moves forward without your sign-off.

01 · 05

Understanding the business

We build the brief with you: the context of the operation, the reporting structure, the culture of the organisation and what the role must deliver in its first twelve months.
02 · 05

Strategy and market mapping

We define the search universe: target companies, equivalent sectors and the markets in the region where that profile exists today.
03 · 05

Direct search

We approach the identified professionals in confidence. Most are not on the open market and have not sent their CV to any firm.
04 · 05

Assessment and validation

Competency-based interviews, psychometric assessment where the role warrants it, and reference checks with former managers and peers.

Offer and integration

We support the offer negotiation and stay involved through the executive's integration into the organisation.

Why CARICAM

What we do differently.

We know these companies from the inside

We have worked with family businesses, regional groups and multinationals in these markets for more than twenty years. We know how a hiring decision gets made inside each of them.

Direct search, not a database

Every assignment starts with a fresh market map. The right candidate for a finance director role two years ago is not necessarily right for the one your organisation needs today.

The work does not end at the signature

We support the offer negotiation, including the counteroffer that almost always appears, and stay in touch through the executive's first months in the organisation.
