Since we are a strategic executive search company and not a placement firm, most positions that we work on are rarely in the public domain (as they can pertain to succession planning, replacement or pre-openings) and are mandated to us directly by the area/ corporate/ regional office level, hence having your CV is the necessary first step to initiate a dialogue unless your details are already available with us. Needless to say, confidentiality of the dialogue and eventual process is a given assurance.
