Psychometric assessments: We provide comprehensive behavioural and leadership assessments using tools such as Gallup, Hogan, and other recognised frameworks, conducted by certified coaches who hold credentials in these industry-leading tools. Our certified coaches review the results to offer detailed insights into each exec search candidate's strengths, leadership style, and areas for development.
Pre-offer briefing: Conduct a call between the client and executive headhunters from Algo-Hunt to finalise our offer strategy and identify any potential risks

HR consulting & interim management support: We offer a holistic approach to talent management as we understand how these strategies must evolve alongside work dynamics. From defining role responsibilities to assessing existing talent and identifying skill gaps, we help to ensure business alignment. We help to recruit and consult the functions and areas required so that organisations can make informed decisions and continue their business-as-usual.
Coaching for exec search candidates: Coaching, when strategically algined with business goals can drive meaningful transformation. Rather than treating coaching as a standalone subject, we help to provide a consulting service by helping to integrate it with business objectives. This becomes a powerful force for change and channels employees' energy toward shared outcomes by creating a momentum. This also has a holistic impact on individuals, teams and the entire organisation which eventually drives sustainable results.
