While the right strengths and capabilities are fundamental, the recruitment process should ensure that the preferred candidate will enhance the existing skill set of the senior management team and that they will be a good fit in terms of management style, cultural background and personality.

Today's successful companies and organisations require specific qualities over and above the core skills and experience required for the job. They are likely to be seeking a standard of leadership commensurate with the next stage in their growth, development or diversification.

Clients of FWB also have access to a range of candidate assessment techniques, including psychometric assessment, further in-depth structured interviews and development centre activities. These techniques provide an objective view of candidates' competencies to inform and assist the selection process and are designed (where appropriate) and administered by FWB Consulting.
