How do clients use your candidates?

Our main focus is to undertake specific recruitment assignments on behalf of our clients. In addition, over 50 leading European private equity houses now subscribe for direct access to our database and conduct over 1,000 candidate searches per month - they are looking for candidates to:

• assist in identifying deal opportunities
• advise on sectors or companies
• conduct early stage due diligence
• advise on strategy/business plans
• lead or join a management team bidding to acquire a business
• join a target company after completion of a deal

Subscribing clients can view full details on each candidate and so may contact you directly, in which case we encourage candidates to provide as much information and help as you can. The best chance to make an impression is when a VC needs your help!

A small number of candidates feel that full disclosure of their details through our web site is not appropriate. We are very happy to accommodate them by either limiting the personal information visible on our web site or by handling those candidates offline. Please let us know when you register if you would prefer us to work in this way.

Who pays for your services?

Registering as a candidate with Directorbank is free of charge. Our clients pay fees for recruitment assignments or subscribe for access to our candidates' information.

We do however ask that candidates keep us informed of any approaches made to you and any paid-for consultancy work or appointment that results. We also ask for your support in collecting fees due to us under our contractual terms.
