Appointment brief
The intended contribution, authority, operating scale, essential experience, compensation, location and timing are established together.
For employers
The title is only
the starting point.
At senior and specialist level, titles can conceal material differences in ownership, scale, authority, risk and expected results. Prime Pick defines the appointment around the work that must be done and the evidence needed to do it.
Defining the appointment
Identical titles can describe
different appointments.
Revenue, capital, programme, platform, team, geography and decision authority can vary materially even when the title is the same.
THE REFERENCE POINT
The operating brief stays attached to the search.
The intended contribution, authority, scale, relevant evidence, package, location and timing are recorded together. Market research, candidate qualification, comparison and feedback then use the same reference point.
From requirement to introduction
One brief runs through the work.
Prime Pick carries the appointment through market definition, candidate research, qualification, presentation and process coordination.
Market definition
The appointment is mapped to relevant candidate pools and credible adjacent backgrounds. A matching title alone does not establish relevance.
Candidate research
Suitable registrations, direct market research, referrals and professionals already known to Prime Pick form the available search market.
Qualification
Responsibility, evidence, motivation, compensation, location, mobility, notice and movement intent are established before introduction.
Comparable evidence
Relevant facts are organised against the same brief. Candidate-reported information and matters still requiring employer verification remain distinct.
Process continuity
Candidate permission, written employer authority, interviews, feedback, offer, acceptance and start are coordinated in sequence. The hiring decision remains with the employer.
Candidate evidence
A comparable view of the substance behind the CV.
Prime Pick organises relevant information around responsibility, authority, operating scale, complexity and measurable outcomes. Candidate-reported facts, evidence considered during qualification and matters still requiring employer verification remain distinct.
An identity-protected Capability Card can establish relevance before candidate identity is disclosed. A name or identifiable CV is released only with candidate authority and agreed employer terms.

Two starting points
The conversation can begin with a requirement or relevant capability.
A current or forthcoming hire
Record the appointment, outcome, scope, package, location and timing. Registration allows an initial assessment; it does not start a search or create a fee.
Register a hiring requirementA response to a Capability Card
Record where the anonymised capability may be relevant. Candidate identity remains protected until employer terms, commercial authority and candidate permission are in place.
Respond to a Capability CardAn employer enquiry is not a mandate. It creates no exclusivity, candidate disclosure authority or fee.
Commercial basis
The terms sit around the specific appointment.
Prime Pick launches with permanent and direct fixed-term employment-agency work. It does not supply temporary workers.
- Before search or introduction: assignment scope and commercial authority are recorded in writing
- Written mechanics: fee calculation, payment point, candidate ownership and prior-knowledge rules
- Process record: interview, offer, acceptance and start notifications
- Placement protection: eligibility, exclusions and one replacement-search obligation defined in the applicable terms
Prime Pick does not charge candidates for work-finding services. Employer registration does not accept commercial terms or create an assignment.
