Talent Scouting
Talent Scouting is an initiative that Bigwin Group performs on your behalf that assembles and gives you a broad overview of potential talent for a given role. It provides an organization with a selection and broad range of best in class candidates.

The available data is overwhelmingly in support of coaching for your long-term success.
DIFFERENTIATING VALUE
Two-Year Warranty
We want each hire to be impactful and succeed in their role. To that end, we recommend our clients to utilize one of our independent certified business coaches during the first year of their (new hire’s) tenure. This dramatically increases the likelihood of long-term success and decrease the risk of ineffective organizational integration. Once this contract is put in place between the client and the candidate, Bigwin Group will extend its replacement guarantee an additional 12 months to a full two years.
Secure Hire Guarantee
The Bigwin Secure Hire Guarantee is unrivaled in the industry. We want you to be completely satisfied with the end result, but equally important is the process. If, for any reason you are not satisfied, we offer you the opportunity to take a credit for up to 66% of the value of the search to be applied against a future search we will conduct for you.
Partner-Led Search
From startups to Fortune 500 companies, our partners are just like you. We’ve held c-suite titles throughout our careers and we each have over 25 years of industry experience, meaning we’ve sat on your side of the desk and understand what keeps you awake at night.
ASSESSMENT TOOLS
We're certified on not one, but three assessment tools
Most firms are certified on one set of assessment tools. They use it, or force-fit it, for every client and assignment. But clients have different needs. That’s why we're certified on not one, but three, of the most effective sets of tools, and trained to interpret the results. Whether it's assessing temperament, leadership behaviour, or risk tolerance, we're ready.
In addition, we have access to two other sets of world class tools to better understand your team dynamic. We include thoroughness in everything we do so you can rest assured your team will be the best team.
HOGAN DEVELOPMENT SURVEY (HDS)
The Bigwin Group makes use of the renowned Hogan Leadership analysis tools, particularly the Hogan Development Survey (HDS). While all personality assessments will give you a broad spectrum of traits, the HDS focuses on what they call “The Dark Side”. The HDS aims to highlight the qualities of a leader that come out in times of stress and turmoil, traits that can damage reputations and derail people’s and company’s success. These factors help companies recognize the potential performance risks in new hires before they become a risk.
LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS
In addition to a variety of proprietary tools, The Bigwin Group uses a Leadership Effectiveness Analysis (administered by Management Research Group) in order to assess leadership from every angle. From organizational needs and expectations to role specific requirements, individuals, teams, and entire organizations benefit from MRG’s Leadership Effectiveness Model.
