Methodology
How a Meridian mandate runs
Understand the mandate
A 90-minute intake with the hiring manager and, when relevant, the board.
Map the market
Proprietary market maps that show you where the talent actually lives — not just who's active.
Approach discreetly
Personal, direct outreach — no mass mailers, no LinkedIn spray.
Screen rigorously
Structured competency interviews, work-sample review, independent referencing.
Present a shortlist
Three to five candidates you'd genuinely hire — not a padded list.
Close the offer
Offer strategy, counter-offer management, honest negotiation on both sides.
Live tracking
You always know where the mandate stands
Every client gets a live view of their mandate's stage, candidate movement and next actions.
