The Wine Network is just that - an extensive network of wine industry
connections that will find the best person for the client's job. Collectively,
the Wine Network Consulting team has many years' experience across a
broad range of industry sectors. We understand the technical demands
of modern grape growing and winemaking. Individually, and as a group
we have worked with many wine businesses and have the confidence and
acquaintance of a wide range of industry personnel. As a result we are
regularly approached by wine people to assist them in discreetly finding
more suitable positions in the industry.
When a
client wants to find the most suitable person to fill a winemaking or
vineyard management position we will often be asked to assist. Sometimes
the best person is immediately at hand and we can quickly make the connection
for our client. At other times, the demands of the vacant position necessitate
a more aggressive search for the most suitable candidate.
We will
assist the client in preparing a job specification and advise on a suitable
remuneration package. We will recommend a recruiting strategy and will
arrange the design and placement of job advertisements. If the client
prefers, we will more pro-actively "head-hunt" prospective candidates.
This could be discreet, the client remaining anonymous or, if preferred,
the client's identity could be obvious from the outset.
We will
receive applications; assess them; do preliminary interviews; check
references and prepare a short list with recommendations for the client.
As required, we will arrange itineraries for short-listed candidates
to travel to interviews with the client and will participate in these.
Less commonly, we will negotiate the remuneration package with the candidate
on the client's behalf.
This service
is provided on the basis of a success fee that is generally an agreed
proportion of the negotiated salary package.
