Most recruitment firms still deliver candidate shortlists through emails filled with resumes and limited information.

Alexander Executive Search (AES) takes a completely different approach.

When AES delivers a shortlist, clients receive the top 2–4 candidates through a secure digital platform accessible on any web-enabled device, including desktop, tablet, and mobile.

This modern executive search delivery system gives hiring managers immediate access to detailed candidate intelligence, allowing faster and more informed hiring decisions.

Instead of reviewing basic resumes, clients receive a fully developed executive candidate presentation designed to reduce hiring risk and improve shortlist accuracy.

What Clients Receive in Every AES Shortlist Delivery

1. Candidate Location Mapping

AES provides an interactive candidate location map displaying both the job location and the candidate’s current location.

This helps clients immediately assess:

• Geographic suitability
• Relocation feasibility
• Regional hiring strategy
• International mobility
• Commute and travel considerations

For overseas hiring projects, this visibility is particularly valuable during early-stage decision making.

2. Updated Candidate Photograph

Every shortlisted candidate profile includes a professional and up-to-date candidate photograph.

This creates a more personal and engaging introduction before interviews begin and helps hiring teams connect profiles to conversations more effectively.

3. Personal Candidate Introduction Video

AES includes a recorded personal introduction video for each shortlisted candidate.

This allows clients to assess:

• Communication style
• Executive presence
• Professional confidence
• Personality and engagement
• Leadership style
• Cultural alignment

Before scheduling interviews, clients already gain valuable insight into how candidates present themselves professionally.

4. Key Competency Question Results

Technology and engineering recruitment requires more than resume screening.

AES provides structured competency assessment results based on key technical and leadership questions relevant to the role.

This gives hiring managers visibility into:

• Technical expertise
• Problem-solving ability
• Leadership capability
• Strategic thinking
• Operational experience
• Industry knowledge

The process ensures candidates are evaluated against real business requirements rather than keywords alone.

5. McQuaig Job Survey Assessment

AES incorporates the McQuaig Job Survey to identify the behavioral and personality traits required for success in the position.

This assessment helps define:

• Preferred leadership characteristics
• Communication style requirements
• Decision-making expectations
• Team compatibility
• Motivational drivers
• Workplace behavioral fit

The result is a clearer understanding of the ideal candidate profile before hiring decisions are made.

6. McQuaig Word Survey Candidate Match

In addition to the job assessment, AES uses the McQuaig Word Survey to evaluate how closely candidates align with the desired role profile.

This enables clients to compare:

• Behavioral compatibility
• Leadership alignment
• Workplace adaptability
• Team integration potential
• Cultural fit

By combining job benchmarking with candidate behavioral analysis, AES helps reduce executive hiring risk significantly.

7. Full Candidate Resume and Career History

Each profile includes the candidate’s complete and professionally formatted resume.

Clients receive detailed information covering:

• Career progression
• Technical expertise
• Leadership achievements
• Industry experience
• International exposure
• Educational background
• Certifications and qualifications

AES also reviews resumes for consistency, accuracy, and strategic relevance before presentation.

8. Executive Summary and Consultant Insights

AES delivers a detailed executive summary prepared by experienced executive search consultants.

This summary highlights:

• Key strengths
• Leadership capability
• Technical suitability
• Career motivations
• Compensation expectations
• International mobility
• Long-term fit with the organization

Rather than forcing hiring managers to interpret resumes independently, AES provides strategic insight that accelerates decision making.

9. Professional Candidate References

AES includes verified professional references as part of the shortlist process.

Clients gain early access to insights regarding:

• Leadership effectiveness
• Team management style
• Technical credibility
• Stakeholder relationships
• Delivery performance
• Professional reputation

This additional layer of validation helps clients move forward with greater confidence.
