Executive Candidate Brief

Section 01 of 05

You

01Section 01 of 05

You

Who you are, and how carefully we need to move. Be blunt. Nothing here leaves ISG.

Contact

On a confidential search this is the field that prevents a bad moment.

Where you sit today

The date you want to be in the seat, notice period included. An estimate is fine.

Discretion

How confidential is this search?

Companies, investors, or people we must not approach or share your profile with.

Restrictive covenants

Non-compete, non-solicit, garden leave, or deferred comp that claws back. We plan around these, we do not want to find out at offer stage.

02Section 02 of 05

Track record

The scope you carry today and the results behind it. Numbers travel further than adjectives.

Scope you own

Leadership domains

Where you carry real depth. Pick up to four.

Proof

One line each, with the number attached. This is the part a board reads first.

Anything a regulated client would surface at final stage. Write 'None' if that is the answer.

Your CV

Upload your CV

PDF or Word, up to 10 MB. Required.

03Section 03 of 05

The mandate

What you want next, and the rooms you want to be in. This section sets the search.

Roles in scope

Titles you are targeting (required, choose at least one)

Goals

What is pushing you to move, and what would keep you where you are.

Mandate, ownership, autonomy, path to CEO, equity, the build versus the fix. Then the lines you will not cross.

Target companies

Five to ten real names. This tells us more about your ambition than any job title, and it tells us which doors to open first.

Company profile

Sectors
Ownership you work well with

Geography

Cities or regions, in order of preference.

Working pattern you will accept (required, choose at least one)

Pick every option you would genuinely take. This filters more searches than any other answer here.

04Section 04 of 05

Compensation

The numbers we negotiate on your behalf. Give us the real ones and we will not waste your time on the wrong table.

Where you are today

Where you need to land

What it takes to make you whole

What you would be walking away from, so we build it into the offer instead of discovering it late.

These figures stay between you and ISG. They are never sent to a client. We use them to set the range before a conversation starts, so you are not negotiating from behind.

The call

Forty five minutes on video to agree the game plan, the target list, and how we go to market. You pick the time on the next screen.

Anything already in motion

Company and stage. We will not duplicate an approach and burn a door for you.

So we know where the conflicts are before we start.

Authorization

Bart reads every brief personally. You book the call on the next screen.
