My first project on executive search is helping my client in Denmark specialising in thermal solution to search a sales head to penetrate OEM market in Asia. Last Friday, I did a conference call to present them the search result and the candidates I identified for them. They are quite satisfied with the result and now the interviews with the candidates are all in progress.
Actually, my progress is considered slow as we normally committed my client to finish the search within 4 working weeks. I did finish it 2 weeks ago. It was CeBIT last week so we delayed the presentation until last Friday. It was very challenging for me at start because I was not comfortable talking to people with false ID in order to get the names and contact number. However, I'm getting more comfortable with it after a few weeks of talking to everyone anyone on the phone.
Two weeks ago, I started to concentrate totally on Business Development as I have only one month left to get three projects in order to get confirmation. It's going to be a challenging one month but I believe I can make it.
