It is critical to conduct a comprehensive, systematic whole-market search to find the best selection of talent available for a role.
Experience and capabilities are critical, but the ‘Lack of Fit’ between the candidate’s behaviours and personal style, and the organisational culture influences long-term success.

Despite the importance of getting ‘Fit’ right when making a hire, most search companies spend the majority of their time assessing skills capability and experience, but little time assessing ‘Fit’. We call this The Search Paradox.
We have designed a proprietary Best-Fit Search process which gives you the best possible opportunity to hire the best-suited candidate for your role and organisation. Our Godliman placement records show that 84% of all candidates placed in the last 20 years have remained for more than two years.
