Identifying the tailored needs of each individual appointment involves a detailed analysis of the Client's organization and of the local market environment.

These goals are fulfilled during a preliminary meeting, which is usually held at the Client's office and it is aimed to identify the candidate's ideal characteristics, the position role within the organization, the relevant objectives and the final job description.

At the end of this stage, Pragma starts the search of potential candidates, evaluating their track record and their consistency in terms of professional skills and experience, ambitions and references.

At the bottom of the search stage, a number of suitable candidates is confidentially invited in taking part in the selection process.

The result of the selection process is a short-list of suitable candidates (not less than three). The Client will receive a confidential report about each candidate, including professional and personal background and consequent evaluation. This whole process it is usually completed within a three-week period.

The search & selection process, however, does not end until the Client informs Pragma of their need being successfully fulfilled.
