For Candidates
Questions We are Often Asked by Candidates
What type of roles does Executives Online specialise in?
The roles we fill for our clients are at a senior level and our clients are looking for experienced executives whose corporate and independent careers show a strong track record of delivering results. We do not usually take on interim roles for which the candidate day rate is under £250 or permanent roles for which the annual salary is below £50,000. It is thus important that candidates are experienced executives who have achieved this level of remuneration in their careers before approaching us to register.
What locations do you cover?
We have offices throughout the UK and also in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands and South Africa.
How much experience do I need to have to register with you?
Our clients typically look for 15–20+ years of corporate experience in positions of increasing responsibility. For interim positions it is helpful (though not a pre-requisite) if a candidate has accomplished at least one interim assignment.
How do I register?
The easiest way is to complete our candidate registration form.
How long does registration take?
We've tried hard to make our candidate registration form as easy as possible for you to complete, although we do need to ask about your experience and what you are looking for in order to be able to help you find your ideal role. Registration is in 2 stages: the first is a short form and after you complete that, the 2nd stage allows you to send us your CV.
I'm based outside the UK. Should I still use this registration form?
You can either complete this registration form, or you can register on any of our other websites, if their locations are closer to yours: Australia, Belgium, France (website in French), Germany (website in German & English), Ireland, Italy (website in Italian), Netherlands (website in Dutch), or South Africa.
What happens after I register with you?
The large volume of candidate CVs that we receive monthly (nearing 1,000), makes individualised responses impractical, however, once you've registered with Executives Online, you will begin receiving e-mailed notification of projects in your areas of expertise for which we are seeking candidates. If you see a project that is of interest, please respond quickly. In your response you should include your latest CV (in case it has changed since the CV you submitted with your Executives Online registration) and a relevant summary of your experience highlighting and giving more detail of those accomplishments that are directly relevant to the client’s situation. This is your best opportunity to market your skills to us and our clients.
If I move house or change phone number or email address, what's the best way to let you know?
You don't need to write to us or telephone to tell us your details have changed. If you are already registered with us, update your details using our update form.
Will you want to meet me after I register?
We conduct face-to-face interviews only in the context of an actual role for which you apply, and where it appears that you may be among the strongest of applicants. If you are chosen for interview, you will meet with an Executives Online director or recruiter to discuss the position or assignment.
I am looking for a permanent role. Do you have a separate registration form?
Our candidate registration form is for all candidates registering with Executives Online, whether they are looking for a permanent or an interim role.
I am new to interim management. How do I know if I will be a suitable interim management candidate?
Read our helpful advice for new interim managers.
Will you check with me before you send my CV for a role?
We will never send your CV to a client without your express permission.
It's a long time since I updated my CV. Can you offer any tips on CV writing?
Read our CV tips.
What can I expect to earn as an interim manager?
Read about typical interim management day rates.
How do I know you are a reputable company?
