RESEARCH CAPABILITY

The research department at Shadowhound is responsible for ensuring that we have
an accurate measure of the pool of talent within any particular region, product class
or specialisation.
Through innovative research techniques and on-the-ground relationships,
Shadowhound is able to provide accurate staffing analyses across areas such as FICC
Sales, Structuring, Trading, Research and Syndication.
This information takes the form of organisational charts of specific teams and a
general pool of thousands of names categorised by role, location and employer.

METHODOLOGY
The search process is formed of three main stages

IDENTIFICATION
Within our core areas of expertise, our database contains detailed
information about most of the potential candidates who we would present to
our clients. Many of these candidates have already been met by our
consultants in the past and we are able to provide accurate and in-depth
commentary on their career histories.

SHORTLISTING
Where a candidate is unknown to us, Shadowhound researchers will first
gather open source information to provide an overview of the candidate’s
career history and to ensure that they have not been involved in any
regulatory issues. Our consultants will then contact them directly to learn
more about their background and client-focus.

INTERVIEWING
Once this process is complete, our consultants are able to work with the
hiring manager to identify a short-list of candidates. Each of the selected
candidates is interviewed by one of our consultants in person to confirm
their suitability for the specific role and their interest in engaging in a
dialogue.
