Candidate Charter

Whether we approach you about a specific opportunity, or you contact us to share your biography and career ambitions, we want you to have a constructive experience of engaging with Odgers Berndtson.

We recognize that we have a commitment to you as well as to our client, and we undertake that our dealings with you will be professional, courteous, rigorous and honest.

We will:

• Approach you after considered analysis and in relation to roles where we think there is a strong match. Your time is valuable; we don’t want to waste it.
• Work to make your candidacy as strong as it can be.
• Represent you effectively and discreetly to our client, based on accurate information that you give us in confidence.
• Be inclusive, open and fair-minded.
• Keep you informed, communicating outcomes promptly, and giving fair and honest feedback where we can.
• Celebrate your success in the event of a successful outcome and share any lessons in the event of disappointment.
• Take a long-term view, recognizing that you have a multi-year view of your own career. Where possible, we will help you fulfil your ambitions.
• Embrace continuous improvement, for example by carrying out regular independent audits of those we shortlist for roles.
