What can you expect from us

EMA Partners South Africa conducts retained Executive Search for Senior Executive positions. We support you as a candidate for such a position to the best of our ability, during and after the search process. This means that our consultants communicate frequently and keep you informed of the status and developments affecting the search.

How we work
When EMA Partners contacts you for the purpose of ascertaining your interest in a particular position, we will invite you for a personal interview. This is in order to get a full understanding of your personal qualifications, career interests and most important to find out in which culture you fit best.
We will extensively inform you about the position, our client organization and corporate culture. Together we will make the decision whether to proceed within the process. If we go forward with the search process, we will support you as you prepare for client interviews, review your resume and assist with travel arrangements. For final candidates, we negotiate the compensation package and assist with any relocation arrangements if necessary.
During the first year of employment, we will have personal discussions with you. This offers you the opportunity to reflect on how you are experiencing the new firm, and job.

Reference check
Reference checking is part of our search process. It is a way to increase our understanding of your skills and experience by comments, orally or written, from current and past employers. Our intention is to build up a comprehensive picture of you as candidate for the position and to validate or challenge the conclusions that we initially had reached.
We usually conduct reference checks both in the preliminary stage of a search and, more comprehensively, in the final stage of a search process at the moment that you become the favoured candidate. References provided by you will not be contacted without your knowledge and agreement.
