What can Ferreira & Associates offer shortlisted candidates?

You can trust our integrity: we treat all acquired information with the highest confidentiality and discretion.

During our interview and consultation process we aim to understand you as an individual – your personality, experience, ambitions and aspirations; and we align this with the opportunity our client presents to ensure an optimum fit between you and your future employer.

Through continuous communication we build long-term relationships based on trust and professionalism.

We’ll equip you with the best career strategy – you’ll go into your interview and the subsequent process completely prepared and ready.

We maintain an open dialogue with you throughout the assignment; ensuring expectations are met on both sides, facilitating a smooth transition through the final selection and offer stages.

We’ll support you throughout the salary negotiations with your new employer, because a third party can help provide communication and resolution during difficult negotiations and act as diplomat and problem resolver.

No matter whether candidates we have sourced are successful in their process or not, we are committed to the same respect and fairness.

Ferreira & Associates is privileged to work with inspirational talent, watching the career progress of our successful candidates with great enthusiasm and pride.

Getting in touch with Ferreira & Associates

We are executive search consultants, which means we source leaders for opportunities, as opposed to opportunities for leaders.

However, on occasion, we offer to make discreet introductions to some of our C-Suite clients, who value the opportunity to create positions for leaders that inspire those around them to achieve great things.

If you are a top achiever with a demonstrable track record of success, and are looking for a discreet opportunity to make a strategic career move, you are welcome to send us your CV.

Ferreira & Associates adhere to a code of professional conduct and support equal opportunity in employment. We objectively evaluate all qualified candidates, and of course we keep everything confidential.

We look forward to getting to know you.
