Research

As a genuine Search firm, Slade Partners commits significant resources to broad market mapping and specifically targeted research activities designed to penetrate deeply into industry leading organisations and provide the excellent intelligence necessary to find the best possible talent.

Research is conducted from Slade Partners' national research centre in Melbourne to identify and track talent across Australia and internationally as needed in order to:

• Establish a tailored list of industry sectors and companies from which the best talent for the position in question can be sourced.
• Establish a target list of information sources and specific candidates within each company identified.
• Make discreet and confidential approaches to establish the interest of potential candidates.

The extent of the research team's involvement in identifying and sourcing suitable candidates for senior appointments depends upon selection criteria, work specification and specific requirements for qualifications, expertise and experience. Slade Partners' research department utilises the latest internet, CD-ROM and international resources, industry and profession-specific databases, journals and directories when seeking for and identifying potential candidates.

Research activities are carried out in a confidential and discreet manner and only those candidates who match the specific requirements of the roles will be considered. Slade Partners follows a rigorous code of professional conduct and all information obtained for specific clients is kept in the strictest confidence.
