The key headline results to date are:
‘Results’ are, as expected, by far the most important consideration for our clients and candidates when measuring the performance of a search firm

‘Value’ and ‘speed’ were both considered less important than we had anticipated, although we remain fully cognizant that clients will continue to expect both
