Confidential payroll leadership search: the checks before candidate approaches

Build on the existing content

The 20 October guide already explains discretion, market mapping and assessment. Keep the URL and current useful coverage; add practical artefacts and an identifiable practice owner.

Update this existing page

Keep the current URL.

Brief the writer

1. Record who may know the employer identity and when it can be disclosed.
2. Show how the practice discusses conflicts, off-limits organisations and candidate permission.
3. Explain the mandate-specific criteria behind market mapping.
4. Show what an anonymised shortlist rationale looks like.
5. Add one approved confidential-search example and a named consultation route.

The original asset to add

A redacted disclosure-gate and search-governance worksheet reflecting JGA’s real process.

Evidence to gather

• Practice lead sign-off on actual confidentiality and conflicts procedures.
• Client permission for an anonymised comparable leadership mandate.

Keep the scope focused

Do not publish a second generic confidentiality explainer or present a sample protocol as an existing JGA policy.
