Bringing the right leader into your organisation is one of the most important and riskiest decisions you’ll ever make. A wrong C-Suite or senior hire can cost more than money, but also disrupt culture and derail strategy.
That’s why we created the C-Suite & Senior Role Recruitment Checklist, a step-by-step framework to guide HR leaders and executives through a structured, risk-proof hiring process.

What’s Inside this Recruitment Checklist
- Strategic Preparation: Align stakeholders, define success metrics, and set clear role priorities.
- Search Strategy & Risk Controls: Build a strong talent pipeline and manage reputational risks.
- Assessment & Due Diligence: Go beyond CVs with leadership assessments, simulations, and reference checks.
- Transition & Onboarding: Support new leaders with a 90–180 day integration plan.
- Bonus: How to spot hidden risks in candidates before it’s too late.
