Your executive search execution can only be as good as your strategy. So, what happens when you skip the step of setting a strategy with your clients? Instead of a shared understanding with your client about your process and marching orders, you have: Potential misalignment between your process and their expectations No single source of truth outlining the approach they agreed to Decreasing client confidence, increasing difficulty managing your project That’s why there’s a Strategy tab in Clockwork that you can share with your clients, so it’s easy for them to view at their convenience and stay aligned with you on: Role descriptions and requirements Lists of target companies you’ll look to for candidates Updates on your team’s research coverage When you conduct your strategy, research, outreach, and client reporting all in one place, you can clearly present the progress you make without adding extra work to your plate.
