- 4. 2 - 3d creative selection process During a search assignment global design search employs a unique 3d creative selection process. The following pages will give an outline of what is entailed in each step of the process: Development is all about getting to know you and your group, listening carefully and truly understanding not only the functional requirements of the role but also the culture into which a candidate will need to fit. Discovery is where we carry out our rigorous search for potential candidates, because of our experience and the time taken in the development phase we will ensure that only those candidates who truly fit the role are put forward for your consideration. We will also work with you in evaluating candidates using the balanced scorecard. Deployment after a candidate has been found that fits the role, global design search can, if required help facilitate the offer package.
- 5. 2 - 3d creative selection process Development Typical types of question: ≒ What is the position/ at what level/ responsibilities? ≒ What skills are we looking for? ≒ What are the long term goals of the department? ≒ Is there scope for progression? ≒ How does design fit into/ work with the wider organisation? ≒ Where will the position be based? ≒ What professional development support is available? ≒ To whom will this person report? ≒ What remuneration and benefits package is being offered? ≒ Is this flexible for the right candidate? Deliverables: ≒ A candidate balanced scorecard agreed ≒ Job description issued

- 7. 3 - Candidate balanced scorecard As part of the discovery phase we believe in sitting down with all stakeholders and developing a balanced scorecard that can be used as a consistent tool for evaluating potential candidates. Obviously the elements to be ranked for each scorecard will be bespoke dependent upon the responsibilities of the position.
- 8. 4 - Pricing Structure Search Assignments A low risk business model for partners has been adopted which means that the majority of fees are only payable when and if global design search finds a candidate that you decide to make an offer to. Fees are then based on 22% of the candidates first year salary. We want to make global design search an easy partner to work with and believe this low-risk solution will appeal to many organisations. Temporary Contracts If you decide to employ a candidate for a temporary period of time, fees are based on 22% of the candidates monthly remuneration payable at the end of each month Please contact us for a copy of our full terms and conditions.
