briefing documents
Preparation is central to an effective search. A briefing document serves many purposes. At the basic level, it is a job description that offers an expression of requirement on the part of the hiring organisation while outlining the functional needs of the firm. Such scant requirements are fine for the purposes of advertising mass hires in a client-driven market, but an effective briefing document is a very different thing. It needs to do a lot more:
How the document is subsequently distributed is a decision that should be reached between the consultant and their client. Such confidentiality issues should then be made clear to the researcher at the start of the assignment. We recommend that a briefing document should always be produced for an assignment regardless of its distribution as an example of recruiter best practise.

- It should be a piece of marketing collateral that effectively represents the hiring company as a company that potential candidates are attracted to.
- It should provide a clear and precise explanation of the role in question, using jargon only when strictly necessary.
- It should be written in a way that that shows the author has a full understanding of both the role and the hiring organisation.
- It should impress the client through its ability to understand and articulate their ideas and aspirations for the organisation and the individual.
