Our process
Wilde & Co builds a deep understanding of your business, allowing for thoughtful matching, and delivery of recruitment outcomes that last.
Structured Precision,
Every Step.
Brief
The first step is a conversation. We go deeper than a list of requirements on a page, taking the time to understand the business and its culture; both where it is today and where it’s heading. Plus, we'll discuss the challenges and opportunities on offer.
Sometimes leaders already have a word for what they’re looking for: a "Fixer", someone who can walk into complexity and steady the ship. When that’s the brief, we need to understand the full picture. What’s happening, what needs to change, and what success looks like.
There’s a person to suit every problem, and this thirty-minute conversation pays huge dividends.
Source
Conversations begin within our network and are complemented with targeted headhunting to find the best person for the role, long term.
Shortlist
The search moves from long list to a concise shortlist, with each candidate meeting with Asli before being presented. These conversations give insight beyond the CV and ensure alignment across the role, team and culture. From there, three carefully selected profiles are presented. Quality over quantity, every time.
Profile & Present
From briefing to candidate presentation is typically ten business days, with some flexibility depending on the role. A shortlist of three will be presented, with each profile going beyond the resume.
In a world full of such heavy AI use, resumes look increasingly similar; businesses don’t need more applications - they need confidence in who they’re meeting.
Wilde & Co profiles are built from the conversations had with each candidate. They'll give you insight into who they are, how they operate, and why your specific role is right for them; the focus is on the things that matter for long-term fit.
Interview
You can relax, knowing all of the practical details will be taken care of, scheduling will be seamless and everyone will be fully briefed. Plus, if you'd like, Asli can also join your interview panel, providing additional support and insight throughout the process.
Reference Check
Wilde & Co complete detailed reference checks and, once you’ve selected your preferred candidate, will work alongside your HR team to manage everything through to offer and onboarding.
Celebrate 🥳
We stay in touch and we love hearing about the success each placement achieves.
Process FAQ
-
Proactive leaders and businesses that see recruitment as a partnership.
Wilde & Co should feel like an extension of your business, and a brand you’re proud to have in your corner. We work with leaders and businesses that give us the buzz, because we know the best results come from real collaboration - especially when a business we're working with is going through periods of challenge, growth or significant change.
That’s when you need a recruitment partner who has your back, understands what’s really going on inside the organisation and can find the people who can make a difference. The fixers; the problem-solvers and the people who love a challenge. -
It starts with you and I meeting to understand your business, the role and the person you’re looking for. We'll agree on timelines, and I'll begin the search, keeping you in the loop throughout.
Regular updates and confirmed timelines mean you can relax knowing the process is being taken care of. From brief to placement is typically 12 business days. -
I combine trusted connections, targeted sourcing, proactive outreach and advertising to find the right people for each role. I meet every shortlisted candidate personally, assessing both technical capability and cultural fit. Each resume comes with a profile that goes beyond words written on a CV. In a world of AI, real conversations matter more than ever.

Yes. I can work with you to shape the role before it goes to market, clarifying the responsibilities, experience required and what will make the opportunity compelling to the right people. I can also advise on salary, benefits and market positioning to ensure both the role and your brand stand out.

Yes. Some searches require a higher level of discretion. I can tailor a confidential search process to your requirements, ensuring the opportunity and your business remain appropriately covert throughout.
-
Yes. Often of the strongest candidates aren’t actively looking on job boards or applying for roles. I use my network and trusted connections, plus targeted outreach and sourcing to identify and approach the right people, creating conversations that wouldn’t happen through advertising alone.
