We accept fees only from client companies, never from potential executives.

We limit the number of clients in any one industry.

All information obtained from clients or executives is held in the strictest confidence.

We accept only those assignments we feel confident of completing satisfactorily.

We will not accept an assignment unless we have access to all necessary information.

Under no circumstances do we approach executives in client companies without prior permission.

We work only on an exclusive basis.

We never work on a contingency basis.

Our assessment of the candidate's ability to cope with the situation in question is ultimately decided by a thorough collection of references.

We endeavour to carefully check the information supplied by a suitable candidate.

We handle all contacts with prospective candidates in the same way we handle all information on our client: with respect for their dignity.

We do not undertake assignments for clients in cases where previous assignments might involve a conflict of interest (e.g. competition).

We always sign a written contract with our client setting out the nature and conditions of the assignment.

We only provide candidates with information about the company that has been approved by the client.

We only present candidates who, after extensive research and evaluation, are found to be fully qualified for the relevant position, according to the agreed requirement profile.

High ethical standards of professional behaviour are maintained, both externally and internally.

We adhere to a code of professional ethics with an emphasis on honesty and integrity, handling our relationships with clients, candidates and colleagues with great care. Above all, we value quality.

We are committed to maintaining complete confidentiality, and will not reveal privileged information about clients or candidates without their consent.

Inherent in our culture is the belief that the way we interact with candidates is a reflection of our client's organization and all it represents.
