Before we begin
How are fees and scope agreed?
The proposal names the practitioner and engagement owner, the question, inputs, deliverables, fees, review rounds and responsibilities. Nothing is booked by an enquiry.
Who makes the final decision?
Your sponsor retains employer accountability and the decisions reserved to your organisation. A Virtual CHRO or managed HR mandate can include agreed execution and coordination responsibilities; authority, access and exclusions are written into the engagement.
What happens if there is no suitable match?
A no-fit outcome is possible. Availability and specialist capability must be confirmed for the particular assignment before a proposal proceeds.
