For Candidates
An important move begins with a serious conversation. We take the time to understand your experience, your ambition and what comes next.

An approach from CERNOR begins with context: the assignment, the experience that caught our attention and why a conversation could be relevant. You decide whether to explore it.
We take the time to understand your contribution, ambition and circumstances. The opportunity, its responsibilities and the conditions of a move develop through direct discussion.
The work in practice
A title offers only part of the picture. An initial discussion considers the work, the authority behind it and the organisation’s expectations. You can explore why the appointment is being made and what it could mean for your professional direction before deciding whether further conversation is worthwhile.
Assessment should give your experience room to be understood. We discuss the decisions you made, the conditions you worked within and the contribution you can explain directly. The conversation also explores what would support your effectiveness in the new setting and which questions deserve attention from the client.
A consequential move needs practical clarity as well as professional interest. Scope, resources, timing and personal circumstances influence whether the opportunity is right. We bring these considerations into the discussion as the process advances, helping you and the organisation reach a considered understanding before any commitment.
Your experience in context
An approach from CERNOR begins with the relevance of your work to a particular responsibility. We want to understand the decisions you have owned, the contribution you have made and the direction you would consider next. The conversation gives both sides a basis for deciding whether to continue.
As the opportunity develops, we explain the organisation’s expectations and explore the conditions that would matter to you. Your experience is represented with its context. Before a client introduction, we discuss what will be shared and the purpose of the next conversation, so you can participate with a clear understanding.
From investigation to decision
You do not need to have decided on a move to begin a discussion. A concise account of your experience and interests gives us a starting point; the purpose and detail of each subsequent step develop through the conversation.
Further perspective
A concise account of your current responsibility and the work most relevant to the approach is sufficient. It is useful to consider the decisions you have owned, the environments in which you have worked and what you would want from a next step. Supporting material can follow once the context of the discussion is clear.
Yes. An initial discussion is an opportunity to understand the responsibility and decide whether further consideration is worthwhile. We recognise that an individual may be fully engaged in their current work. Your interests, circumstances and timing inform the conversation, and the process advances through a shared understanding of what each next step involves.
We develop an account of your responsibilities, contribution and relevant experience through the discussion with you. The purpose and content of a client introduction are addressed before it is made. You have the opportunity to clarify material details, and the subsequent conversation focuses on how your experience relates to the responsibility under consideration.
