Technical Director Wireless Retained Search

Summary of client testimonial for retained search of a Technical Director led by Charles Moore, Practice Lead for Wireless Systems and Mobile Networks for NextGen Global Executive Search

While no direct competitors existed in which to recruit a candidate for the Technical Director job, our team identified 3 candidates from indirect competitors with an offer being made to candidate ranked at the top by the Executive Search Consultants of NextGen Global Executive Search. No mistake could be made in identifying candidates who not only had the requisite skills and experience to be the Technical Director, but who also has an in-depth expertise in various technical aspects of the global wireless supply chain, in particular Radio Access Networks,  mobile backhaul, mobile devices (terminals and handsets), and mobile chipsets.

Technical Director Search Strategy

NextGen Global Executive Search was retained to fill a senior level Executive Technical Director position for a client who required an expert in end-to-end systems and global contacts to develop highly technical workshops for the wireless ecosystem worldwide.  With few competitors to draw from in a candidate pool and the fact that in the past several candidates who previously filled the position did not work out, this was going to be a difficult and time consuming search.

Results: After identifying three candidates for the short list, NextGen GES conducted videotaped interviews and behavioral analysis testing.  That resulted in three finalist candidates for the Technical Director position.  Each candidate was again interviewed using customized Intangibles including hypothetical and situational scenarios we designed with the Client hiring team.  We then encouraged the Client to conduct Skype videotaped interviews with the three finalists prior to scheduling face-to-face interviews.  The client chose the candidate that NextGen GES recommended to hire for the Technical Director position.
