ALBRIGHT's SEARCH PROCESS:

ONBOARDING CANDIDATES:

When entering a new executive role, you will have limited time to understand and learn to navigate within the complex dimensions of the organization, stakeholder expectations, and culture. To assist our candidates in their transition, we employ our Executive Integration Tool-kit offering counselling in the three executive onboarding phases:  

• Pre-selection phase (from first approach to acceptance of offer)

• Pre-entry phase (from acceptance to day one)

• Entry phase (from day one and onwards)

​

You are also welcome to download our free guide/book on Executive Onboarding helping you to prevent yourself from failing in your new position. 

The concept of “Executive Onboarding” is designed to accelerate the transition of executives into their new roles and to improve the foundation for their short-, medium-, and long-term success.

Our guide explains the importance of executive onboarding and provides concrete tools designed to help newly appointed executives to navigate the areas most critical to their success.
