Context gets lost
Between the first brief and the final shortlist, what the client actually said slips out of the notes.

Search and executive search
Search runs on research, long, confidential mandates and careful conversations. Dooglie does the digging across everything your firm knows, and puts the whole history with a client or candidate in front of you before you say a word.
“We let the team they'd join sign off the offer.”

Two more senior roles likely next quarter. Not sold yet: interim cover for their support rota.
What gets in the way
Between the first brief and the final shortlist, what the client actually said slips out of the notes.
The partner knows the client. The researcher calling the candidate doesn't.
The real brief is agreed in conversation, then lives in someone's notebook.
How Dooglie helps
“What They've Said”, “Client Context” and “Contact Profile” bring back their own words, how they decide and what they've turned down.
CRM candidate matchmaking ranks your whole database against the brief through “Suggested People” and “Similar People”, and “Help me with…” answers research questions mid-call.
“Opening Moves” and “Say this” cards bring your firm's own approach to every first conversation, and every approach is written to the record.
“Who We Know Here”, “Hiring Pattern” and “Buying Posture” show every stakeholder, how they decide and where the next search or succession plan is coming from.
Calls, video meetings and face-to-face interviews through physical note takers such as Plaud and Pocket. Calibration lands on the contact and the mandate, so the whole team works from the same brief.
“Call Review” scores intake calls and candidate conversations against your firm's own standard.
One methodology, two depths
The model and the methodology are largely the same. Executive search simply goes deeper. Dooglie supports both.
Mid to senior roles, with the client committed up front and fees paid in stages. Long lists, approaches and interviews, run on what your firm already knows.
C-suite mandates with in-person interviews, assessments and a full report on every candidate for the CEO. Fees often paid in thirds, through to completion.
Continuity
Search runs on relationships, and too often they walk out of the door with the consultant, straight to a competitor. With Dooglie, what they learned on every call and in every meeting stays with your firm: what each client said, how they decide, who's in play and what was promised. The next person starts with the full picture, not a blank page.
