A search process takes 6 to 8 weeks up to the presentation of a shortlist. We report on a weekly basis and will provide written reports during the key stages in the process. Depending on the nature of the search, we will try to shorten the search process to a minimum and in case we come across exceptionally strong candidates in the early stages, we may decide to immediately put them forward to meet our client. We start a search the day after receiving formal approval of the proposal and specifications for a specific project. Confirmation of approval should be sent to ineke@gtsearch.eu, including project number, name of the organisation, address and VAT number of the entity this project should be billed to.
