Our Approach
At ARB, every client is important and each engagement is unique. We think it’s the people that make an organization and it’s important to place the right profile with cultural alignment. We work closely with clients to understand their strategy, goals and objectives, offer solutions that ensure the right leaders are discovered to achieve success. Our approach can be summed up as follows:
Diversity
Diversity is at the forefront of the leadership agenda, with the belief that a more inclusive workforce and leadership team will foster better governance and decision-making, and lead to sustained competitive advantage.
At ARB Consulting, we drive this agenda with our placements, and a significantly higher proportion of our shortlists, being diversity candidates.

We are enabling our research teams and are training them to develop a diverse slate of candidates for each search. We have developed though our network, significant databases, particularly of female candidates in leadership roles across industries in India. This apart, we have conducted and offer bespoke diversity mapping and search services for various multinational and Indian companies. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce contributes to improved efficiency, stronger governance and greater innovation within businesses.
At senior management and leadership roles, a lot of time is invested in sourcing the relevant profiles, if the cultural alignment is a misfit it’s a disaster.

Due Diligence
With the increase in experienced executives approaching corporates directly, as well as the increasing financial and reputational risks arising from senior executives, the importance of formal and informal reference checking is more important than ever before.
Our standalone forensic service offering is designed to minimize the risk – and associated costs – of making the “bad hire”. We discreetly and thoroughly assess identified candidates by speaking to their business associates, combining this with publicly accessible information to produce a report on the candidates experience, style and reputation to aid decision making. This service is often used as a complement to the formal reference checking, evaluation and verification efforts, with the objective of providing a holistic view on candidates.
